Wuppertal, 30 May 2016 - The Supervisory Board of GESCO AG has appointed Dr
Eric Bernhard Chief Executive Officer with effect from 1 July 2016. Dr
Hans-Gert Mayrose has informed the Supervisory Board that, due to his
personal plans for the future, he will not be available for an extension of
his term on the Executive Board, which is set to end on 31 December 2016.
Since the beginning of the year, Dr Bernhard has been a member of GESCO's
Executive Board, whose three members had to date held equal rights without
a chairman or a spokesman. The Executive Board members' responsibilities
will remain unchanged until the end of the year: Dr Bernhard is responsible
for the strategic management of the Group's portfolio of companies, Dr
Mayrose for M&A, IT and Investor Relations, and Mr. Spartmann for Finance,
Legal, HR and Compliance. The Supervisory Board will reallocate the
responsibilities of the Executive Board members for the time following Dr

companies," said Klaus Möllerfriedrich, Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
Dr Eric Bernhard joined GESCO's Executive Board in January 2016. Having
served McKinsey & Company for many years, he subsequently took leadership
roles on international executive and supervisory boards and as a CEO in the
metal and plastics processing industry. These included the establishment of
stock-listed Interseroh SE's raw materials division as well as the
integration of the industrial SULO group into the stock-listed Plastic
Omnium corporation.
Dr Bernhard said: "I see my primary task as CEO of GESCO AG to further
improve jointly with the Executive Board and the management team the market
position and competitiveness of the GESCO Group in times of rapid
technological and market change, and thus to enable our group companies for
sustainable profitable growth."
Mr. Möllerfriedrich thanked Dr Mayrose on behalf of the Supervisory Board:
"Dr Mayrose has been serving GESCO AG since 1 February 2000, first as chief
representative, and since 1 January 2002 as a member of the Executive
Board. The Supervisory Board regrets that Dr Mayrose is not available for
an additional term and would like to thank him very much for his many
