Munich, 27. March 2025: Following the successful restructuring and strategic realignment of the company, Achim Pfeffer, Chairman of the Management Board informed the Supervisory Board today that he will resign from office as planned. He hands-over to Josh McMorrow (51), a member of the Supervisory Board since April 19, 2022, who was appointed Chairman of the Management Board.

Achim Pfeffer, CEO since July 1, 2023, managed to restructure the company and to acquire the first operations for the company in two cross-border transactions with a total value of EUR 110 million. "It was a very challenging period, but it is a pleasure to be able to hand-over an established business with high potential for future development in a promising industry. Thanks to all shareholders and the Supervisory Board." Achim Pfeffer comments.

His successor, Josh McMorrow is a U.S. qualified lawyer that started his career at a top law firm in Houston, Texas, USA.
