Wacker Neuson expands its Executive Board

(Munich, February 2, 2016)

As of April 1, 2016, Jan Willem Jongert (51) will join the Executive Board
of Wacker Neuson SE. In his new role as Chief Sales Officer (CSO), Mr.
Jongert will be responsible for the global sales, service, logistics and
marketing activities of the Wacker Neuson Group.

New delineation of responsibilities at Executive Board level

At the start of 2013, Cem Peksaglam took on the responsibilities of the
outgoing CSO in addition to his own mandate as Chairman of the Executive
Board (CEO). Under the leadership of Mr. Peksaglam, the Wacker Neuson Group
has gone from strength to strength, reporting record revenues in recent
years - and 2015 was no exception. The company has now completed
realignment of Group strategy and is in the process of strengthening the
Executive Board with this new addition.

Alongside his tasks as CEO, Peksaglam will remain responsible for strategy,
mergers and acquisitions, human resource, legal, compliance, real estate,
investor relations, corporate communication and sustainability. "We have
made good progress with our international growth strategy in recent years
and we are now looking to build on our performance here. Mr. Jongert is an
experienced international sales expert and we are delighted to welcome him
to the Executive Board," explains Cem Peksaglam.

The Executive Board of Wacker Neuson SE will have four members following
the addition of Mr. Jongert. Martin Lehner (member responsible for research
and development, procurement, production and quality) and Günther Binder
(member responsible for finance and IT) will retain their previous areas of
responsibility.
