Successor to the chairman of the supervisory board will be elected shortly

At today’s supervisory board meeting Dieter Rampl (66), member since 2002 and chairman of the Koenig & Bauer (KBA) supervisory board since June 2006, announced his resignation.

Rampl resigns as chairman and leaves the press manufacturer’s supervisory board with immediate effect. After retiring in May 2012, the long-standing chairman of the UniCredit Group board of directors cited his partial move to the USA as the reason for his decision. This change does not allow him to carry out his supervisory board duties and role as chairman with the intensity necessary.

The appointment to fill this vacant supervisory board post by the register court should take place in October, as well as the election of the new chairman in an extraordinary supervisory board meeting.
