Change of CFO at PNE AG: Harald Wilbert steps down from the Board of Management at his own request 

• Departure for personal reasons and by mutual agreement
• The position is to be filled on an interim basis

Cuxhaven, 30 April 2026 – Harald Wilbert, CFO of PNE AG, has asked the Supervisory Board to release him from his duties as a member of the Board of Management for personal reasons. The Supervisory Board of PNE AG has agreed to this request.

Harald Wilbert will step down from the Management Board as of 5 June 2026 and will leave PNE AG on 30 September 2026. He has held the position of CFO of PNE AG since 1 April 2024 and has been a member of the Board of Management since 15 October 2023. His mandate was originally scheduled to run until 31 March 2028.

“We regret that Harald Wilbert wishes to leave the Company,” said Dirk Simons, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of PNE AG. “We understand his personal reasons and have complied with his request. We would like to thank Harald Wilbert for his work over the past years. He has made a significant contribution to the transformation of PNE AG. The Supervisory Board wishes him all the best for his personal and professional future.”

Harald Wilbert commented: “The decision to leave PNE was not an easy one for me, as I am convinced that the Company is on the right track. I ask for understanding for my personal reasons.”

The CFO position is to be assumed on an interim basis by Dirk Simons, currently Chairman of the Supervisory Board of PNE AG. Dirk Simons has many years of international experience as a CFO in the renewable energy sector, for example as CFO of RWE Innogy GmbH and most recently as Interim CFO of VORN Bioenergy GmbH. This provides a very strong short‑term solution to address the upcoming tasks.
