Mr. Martin Hoyos, who has been a Supervisory Board member since 2009, and chaired the Audit Committee since 2013, has requested to step down at the end of his term in May 2017 in view of other priorities and is not available for re-appointment. The Supervisory Board wishes to thank Mr. Hoyos for his dedication and services and his leadership of the Audit Committee during the past four years, and wishes him well in his future endeavors.

Furthermore, Mr. Petteri Soininen has requested to step down after having served on the Supervisory Board since 2015. Mr. Soininen joined the Supervisory Board in 2015 as non-independent nominee of AMG's largest shareholder, RWC European Focus Master Inc.

During the period that Messrs. Hoyos and Soininen were members of the Supervisory Board, AMG has made important strategic decisions which have been positively reflected in AMG's share price. The Supervisory Board is grateful for the services of Messrs. Hoyos and Soininen as members of the Supervisory Board and wishes to thank them for their valuable insights and contributions.
