Chairman of the Board of Directors Jens Alder: 'We would like to thank our shareholders for their loyalty to the company in 2020. We are pleased that, despite their absence, they made active use of their voting rights and approved the proposals of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors notes with regret that Adrian Widmer has declared that he will not be available for a further term of office after the 2022 Annual General Meeting. Together with my colleagues on the Board of Directors, we will press ahead with the transformation we have begun following the successful refinancing and with the new Group Management consisting of Frank Koch, CEO from July 2021, and CFO Dr. Markus Böning.'
