As part of a selection process, the Executive Committee of the Supervisory Board will identify suitable candidates to succeed both Frank Strauß, who passed away unexpectedly last week, and Peter Steiner. On this basis, the Supervisory Board will submit corresponding election proposals to the 2025 Annual General Meeting and take the necessary steps to fill the position of Frank Strauß on an interim basis beforehand.
