Board of Directors (Appointments and Changes)

Chief Financial Officer Johannes Schmidt-Schultes informed the
company's Supervisory Board in today's meeting that he will not be
available for another contract renewal after his second term of
office at the end of April 2017. After six years of service as Chief
Financial Officer of the Semperit Group he has decided to seek out
new professional challenges, says Schmidt-Schultes.

The Supervisory Board of Semperit AG Holding regrets this decision.
"In the past years, Mr. Schmidt-Schultes has played a key role in
shaping the company's success," says Veit Sorger, Chairman of the
Supervisory Board. "He not only fundamentally restructured all
commercial and administrative functions but also established modern
structures and processes in the financial organisation. Mr.
Schmidt-Schultes was substantially involved in the strategic
realignment and organisational modernisation of Semperit. In
addition, he has created the basis for a sustainable and financially
secure growth by comprehensively restructuring the Group's financing.
Mr. Schmidt-Schultes has completely reorganised the financial
reporting and capital market communication of Semperit AG Holding
based on the principles of transparency, clarity and continuity,
which earned him the highest respect and appreciation of investors
and analysts," says Veit Sorger.

The entire Supervisory Board thanks Johannes Schmidt-Schultes for his
years of work and wishes him continued success and personal
wellbeing. The succession process for the function of CFO of the
Semperit Group has been initiated.
