CHANGE ON THE MANAGEMENT BOARD OF VWD AG
- Edmund J. Keferstein resigns from Management Board
Frankfurt am Main, June 6, 2013 - vwd Vereinigte Wirtschaftsdienste, a
complete provider of financial market data and innovative applications used
in private banking, retail banking, and asset and wealth management,
announced today that its shareholder and long-standing chairman Edmund J.
Keferstein would resign from his position on the company's Management
Board. The resignation will take effect on June 15, 2013, and was issued by
mutual agreement. Mr. Keferstein will continue to advise the company as a
member of the investor consortium that acquired a majority stake in vwd
group by means of a voluntary public takeover bid in December 2012.
Mr. Keferstein's responsibilities for market development and sales will be
assumed by Christian Hank, the head of the Market Department, and Niklas
Helmreich, a financial expert who recently joined vwd AG. Mr. Helmreich
previously served as managing director of CMC Markets, an innovative
trading and financial services provider. He previously held positions at
Mercedes Benz Bank, Feri Trust and DAB Bank. He will assume his
responsibilities at vwd AG with immediate effect. As a result, the new
management team will consist of Management Board member Dr. Ralf Kauther as
well as the heads of the Market Department Christian Hank and Niklas
Helmreich.
Mr. Keferstein said: 'I have worked for many years at vwd and was able to
play a key role in shaping the company during its various stages of
development. I can step down today with peace of mind because I know that
Mr. Helmreich is an equally capable and experienced manager who can help
the current team continue down vwd's chosen path.'
Dr. Thorsten Dippel, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of vwd AG, thanked
Mr. Keferstein for his years of service: 'Thanks to his tireless efforts
over the years, Mr. Keferstein played an essential role in vwd's success.
The Supervisory Board and employees would like to express their gratitude
and appreciation to him. At the same time, we are pleased to have found Mr.
Helmreich, a experienced manager with industry expertise, who can smoothly
continue this work and support the current management team. We are glad
that Mr. Keferstein will continue to support vwd as a shareholder and
adviser as part of the investor consortium.'
