New Members of the Supervisory Board
At the start of the Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, Supervisory Board Chairman Dr. Manfred Schneider introduced the candidates for election to the Supervisory Board as stockholders’ representatives, along with the already elected employees’ representatives. Excerpts from his address are printed below.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Item 4 on the agenda concerns the election of the stockholders’ representatives to the Supervisory Board. The employees’ representatives were already elected by the delegates’ assembly in February. Several changes are involved in both cases.
Mr. Ackermann, Mr. Kohlhaussen and Mr. Kornblum are not standing for reelection as stockholders’ representatives. Mr. Ackermann and Mr. Kornblum have been members of the Supervisory Board since 2002. Mr. Kohlhaussen is the longest-serving member. He has been on the Supervisory Board for 15 years and is Chairman of the Audit Committee and a member of the Human Resources Committee.
On behalf of the Supervisory Board – and I presume on your behalf as well – I would like to thank all three gentlemen for their service to the company.
At the conclusion of this Annual Stockholders’ Meeting, two of the employees’ representatives on the Supervisory Board – Mr. Thomas Hellmuth and Mr. Gregor Jüsten – will step down. Mr. Hellmuth has been a member for five years, while Mr. Jüsten joined the Supervisory Board a year ago. Gentlemen, may I thank you, too, on behalf of us all for your service.
I would like to briefly introduce to you those candidates who are not currently members and who are standing for election to the Supervisory Board today.
Dr. Clemens Börsig is Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Bank AG, Frankfurt. He studied business administration and mathematics. After completing his studies, he spent several years working in a scientific function, completing his doctorate during this period. His professional career took him from Mannesmann to Robert Bosch, RWE, and finally to Deutsche Bank in 1999. In 2006 he transferred from the Board of Management of Deutsche Bank to its Supervisory Board, of which he is Chairman.
Dr. Helmut Panke studied physics. After that he, too, spent some time on scientific work and gained his doctorate. He was a consultant with McKinsey for several years before joining BMW AG in 1982. He was named to that company’s Board of Management in 1996. From 2002 to 2006 he served as Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW.
Dr. Klaus Sturany studied mathematics, physics and business administration. After earning his Ph.D. he joined Kalle AG in Wiesbaden in 1971. Later he worked for Hoechst AG in Frankfurt and GEA AG in Bochum before transferring to RWE, where since 1999 he has served as the member of the Management Board responsible for Finance and Controlling.
