Changes in GEA Group's Supervisory Board
Düsseldorf, April 21, 2011 - GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft's Annual General
Meeting today elected the shareholder representatives to the Company's
Supervisory Board. Ahmad Bastaki, Dieter Ammer, Hartmut Eberlein, Dr.
Jürgen Heraeus, and Dr. Helmut Perlet were reelected for a further 5-year
term of office. In addition, Jean E. Spence, Wilmette/Illinois, U.S.A.,
Executive Vice President of Research, Development&Quality at Kraft Foods
Global, Inc., was appointed as a new Supervisory Board member. She replaces
Dr. Dietmar Kuhnt, who had been a member of the group's Supervisory Board
since January 10, 1995 and did not stand for reelection.
'I would like to thank Dr. Kuhnt for our trust-based working relationship
and his many years of hard work for GEA Group. His considerable knowledge
made him a valuable member of the Supervisory Board for many years. At the
same time, I am delighted that we are welcoming Jean E. Spence - an
internationally recognized expert in food process technology - as a new
member of the Supervisory Board,' said Dr. Jürgen Heraeus, Chairman of the
Supervisory Board of GEA Group Aktiengesellschaft.
The existing employee representatives Rainer Gröbel, Klaus Hunger, Michael
Kämpfert, Kurt-Jürgen Löw, and Reinhold Siegers were appointed as
Supervisory Board members at the end of the Annual General Meeting by way
of a decision by the Bochum Local Court. The court appointments are valid
until the election of the employee representatives, which is due to be held
in September 2011. Eva-Maria Kerkemeier, First Authorized Representative of
IG Metall Herne, was also appointed by the court. She replaces Joachim
Stöber, who has left the Supervisory Board. Mr. Stöber joined the
Supervisory Board on September 16, 2005 and had previously been a member of
the former GEA AG's Supervisory Board since 1990. The Executive Board and
Supervisory Board would like to thank Mr. Stöber for their trust-based and
good working relationship over many years.
Dr. Heraeus was again elected Chairman of the Supervisory Board at the
constituent meeting of the new Supervisory Board following the Annual
General Meeting. Mr. Eberlein will chair the Audit Committee in future.
