Krones AG: - Seite 2

Volker Kronseder, a member of the company's Executive Board since 1989 and
Chairman of the Executive Board since 1996, will retire from the Executive
Board at the end of this year as previously announced. Thus, today's annual
shareholders' meeting was his last as Chief Executive of Krones. Chairman
of the Supervisory Board Ernst Baumann expressed his heartfelt appreciation
of the retiring Executive Board Chairman and thanked Volker Kronseder on
behalf of the entire Supervisory Board for his many, extremely successful
years at the company's helm. The shareholders in attendance affirmed these
words of gratitude with thunderous applause.

Volker Kronseder wishes to continue to contribute to the company's
successful development and assume responsibility for Krones AG. For this
reason, he will stand for election to the Supervisory Board of Krones AG in
the ordinary annual shareholders' meeting in 2016. The company's current
Chief Financial Officer, Christoph Klenk, will succeed Volker Kronseder as
Chairman of the Executive Board effective 1 January 2016. An external
candidate who has demonstrated his suitability through his work for another
international group of companies will fill the position of Chief Financial
Officer. Krones first announced these Executive Board changes in March
2015.
