In the light of Mr. Mark Wilhelms’ appointment as replacement for the Management Board member Mr. Guido Grandi, who had resigned from the Management Board with effect from February 17, 2025, Mr. Wilhelms’ Supervisory Board mandate was suspended for a transitional phase from February 18, 2025. As a result, Mr. Wilhelms was temporarily unable to perform his duties as a member and Chair of the Supervisory Board. After Ms. Birgit Seeger was appointed to the Management Board with effect from November 1, 2025, Mr. Wilhelms was able to resume his duties as a member of the Supervisory Board on November 1, 2025. Mr. Wilhelms was re-elected as Chair of the Supervisory Board at the Supervisory Board meeting on November 27, 2025. For the period between February 18, 2025 and November 27, 2025, Supervisory Board member Ms. Kerstin Müller-Kirchhofs took over as Chair of the Supervisory Board. She served as Supervisory Board Chair at the same time as serving in her role as Audit Committee Chair, which she had held since her election as Audit Committee Chair on September 19, 2024.
Ms. Müller-Kirchhofs, who was initially appointed as a member of the Supervisory Board by the Hanau Local Court with effect from September 9, 2024, was confirmed in office by the Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2025. Also on May 13, 2025, Dr. Erek Speckert was elected to the Supervisory Board. Both Supervisory Board members were appointed for a term of office until the end of the Annual General Meeting that approves the actions of the Supervisory Board for the 2028 fiscal year. Ms. Erika Schulte did not stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting on May 13, 2025. Her term of office as a member of the Supervisory Board ended at the end of the Annual General Meeting.
On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I would like to thank Ms. Erika Schulte for her commitment to the company and her many years of service to NORMA Group SE. I congratulate all Supervisory Board members who were elected of joined the Supervisory Board in the past fiscal year. I would also like to thank all members of the Supervisory Board for their valuable contributions and look forward to continuing to work together on our Board.
