Peter M. Wagner to be new Supervisory Board Chairman of Roth&Rau AG
Hohenstein-Ernstthal, 29 August 2011 - At the Annual General Meeting of
Roth&Rau AG held last Friday, the shareholders in the company decided on
the new composition of the Supervisory Board required due to the expiry of
the term in office of the previous Supervisory Board members upon the
conclusion of the meeting. Shareholders endorsed the proposal made by the
Supervisory Board and elected Peter M. Wagner, Michel Hirschi and Andrea
Sieber as new members of the Supervisory Board. Peter M. Wagner will assume
the chairmanship of the Supervisory Board.
Peter M. Wagner is a management consultant and President of the
Administrative Board of Meyer Burger Technology AG, Baar (Switzerland).
Michel Hirschi is CFO of Meyer Burger Technology AG and thus assumes the
role of financial expert as defined in§100 (5) of the German Stock
Corporation Act (AktG) within the Supervisory Board of Roth&Rau AG.
Andrea Sieber is a lawyer and partner in the law firm meyerlustenberger
Rechtsanwälte, Zurich (Switzerland).
The new composition of the Supervisory Board thus accounts for the takeover
of Roth&Rau AG by Meyer Burger Technology AG, whose shareholding in Roth&Rau AG amounts to more than 80 %.
'On behalf of the Management Board, I would like to thank the retiring
Supervisory Board members for their reliable, successful work in the past
years. At the same time, we offer a warm welcome to the new members of the
Supervisory Board and look forward to working together with them',
commented Dr. Dietmar Roth, CEO of Roth&Rau AG.
'We would like to thank the shareholders in Roth&Rau AG for the trust
they have placed in us. We are delighted to be able to accompany the
integration of Roth&Rau AG into the Meyer Burger Group, as well as the
company's resultant further strategic development', stated Wagner on behalf
of the Supervisory Board.
The shareholders present at the meeting, representing 36.9 % of the share
capital, also approved all of the other agenda items with large majorities.
The Annual General Meeting of Roth&Rau AG was held for the first time at
the company's new office building in Hohenstein-Ernstthal.
