QIAGEN Announces Creation of Scientific Advisory Board and Agenda for Annual General Meeting in June 2021 - Seite 2

Among other topics to be discussed at the AGM is QIAGEN’s commitment to increasing its focus on sustainability topics within the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework. The Supervisory Board has decided to rename the Selection & Nomination Committee to become the Nomination & ESG Committee, while the Compensation Committee has been renamed as the Compensation & Human Resources Committee.

Seven of the current Supervisory Board members will be proposed for re-election to one-year terms: Lawrence A. Rosen (Chair), Dr. Metin Colpan, Thomas Ebeling, Dr. Toralf Haag, Prof. Dr. Ross Levine, Prof. Dr. Elaine Mardis and Elizabeth A. Tallett. Additionally, Chief Executive Officer Thierry Bernard and Chief Financial Officer Roland Sackers are proposed for re-election as Managing Board members for one-year terms.

Stéphane Bancel, a member of the Supervisory Board since 2013, has decided not to stand for re-appointment due to his very significant role as CEO of Moderna, Inc., a leading provider of vaccines in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

“On behalf of the Supervisory Board, our Managing Board and employees around the world, I would like to express our deep gratitude and appreciation for Stéphane’s work on the Supervisory Board over the last eight years. His extensive industry knowledge, insights and critical inquiry will be missed. We would like to wish Stéphane further success and satisfaction for his continuing very important work at Moderna,” Mr. Rosen said.
