Change on the Board of Directors of the Zur Rose Group

Vanessa Frey and Dr. Heinz O. Baumgartner have decided not to stand again for re-election to the Zur Rose Group's Board of Directors at the next Annual General Meeting. This move is associated with differences of opinion about how and how fast the growth strategy should be implemented.

Both the Board of Directors and Group Management thank Vanessa Frey and Heinz Baumgartner for their dedicated service in the highest governing body of the Zur Rose Group.

The Board of Directors is seeking to strengthen the Board further with tech expertise and commercial experience. It will nominate two suitably qualified candidates for election at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 23 May 2019.
