As announced in mid-April, CEO Felix Zimmermann left the Management Board of TAKKT AG at his own request after the end of the Shareholders' Meeting. The Chairman of the Supervisory Board Florian Funck thanked him during the meeting for his many years of successful service. Zimmermann was appointed to the TAKKT Management Board in 1999 and had been at the helm of the company since 2009. "With his value-oriented, responsible and pragmatic leadership, he not only guided TAKKT very successfully through the financial and recent Corona crisis, but also drove the company's steady development from a B2B catalog mail order company to an e-commerce provider."

Maria Zesch will take over the position of CEO on August 01. Until then, TAKKT will be managed by a transition team, which will include Management Board members Claude Tomaszewski and Tobias Flaitz, as well as other members of senior management and representatives of the operating units.

In a meeting immediately following the Shareholders' Meeting, a change in the distribution of roles on the Supervisory Board was carried out as planned. Thomas Schmidt, CEO of TAKKT's majority shareholder Haniel, was elected by the Supervisory Board as the new Chairman. Florian Funck will remain a member of the Supervisory Board. Felix Zimmermann thanked Funck for his service. "In his role as Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Florian Funck has greatly helped us in the past two years with his profound knowledge of TAKKT's business to further develop TAKKT and successfully get through the crisis."
