Amsterdam, April 4, 2011 - SMARTRAC N.V., a leading developer, manufacturer
and supplier of RFID transponders, announces changes in the Management
Board of the Company. Manfred Rietzler, member of the Management Board of
SMARTRAC, intends to resign from his position effective May 31, 2011.
Manfred Rietzler's decision to resign from his current responsibilities is
based on his intention to serve the Company as a member of the SMARTRAC
Supervisory Board and focus on strategic developments, in particular as
Chairman of the new Technology Council, subject to approval by the SMARTRAC
Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 31, 2011.
The new Technology Council, which will be chaired by Manfred Rietzler, will
be comprised of internal and external experts to support the Management
Board in shaping the technology strategy of SMARTRAC.
Furthermore, the Supervisory Board has taken the decision to propose the
appointment of Wolfgang Schneider as new Member of the Management Board to
the SMARTRAC Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 31,
2011.
'Manfred's outstanding contribution, entrepreneurship, passion and
commitment were decisive for the overall success of the company. We fully
support his intention to focus on strategy and next generation technology
development in the new Technology Council rather than managing day-to-day
business', says Dr. Christian Fischer, CEO of SMARTRAC. 'We are also
pleased to congratulate Wolfgang Schneider to his nomination as member of
the Management Board of SMARTRAC. Both steps will have a share in further
pursuing the great success story of the company.
Manfred Rietzler joined SMARTRAC in 2001 and has been a member of the
Management Board since the incorporation of SMARTRAC N.V. in January 2006.
He has held the position as Chief Technical Officer (CTO) since July 1,
2007.
With the intention to switch to the SMARTRAC Supervisory Board, he will
stay closely linked to the company and maintain his focus on the strategic
development of the company as well as next generation technologies in the
RFID industry.
Wolfgang Schneider holds the management position Head of Business Unit
Cards and has been a member of the SMARTRAC Group Executive Team since its
inception at the end of 2007. He joined SMARTRAC in 2001.
