At its own request, the Board of Directors of Deufol SE has released the Executive Director and CFO, Mr Klaus Duttiné, from his duties. Mr. Duttiné is leaving the company for personal reasons by mutual best agreement.

In addition, he will use his capital market knowledge to optimize the corporate structure of the Deufol Group and proactively support further growth and the ongoing globalization.

Jürgen Hillen, 55-year-old banker and graduate in business administration, has around 30 years of international professional experience in various fields of finance in the financial services sector. Mr. Hillen comes from Deutsche Börse Group, where his most recent positions included Chief Financial Officer of Clearstream Banking AG, Frankfurt am Main, and Chief Risk Officer of Clearstream International S.A. in Luxembourg.

The Managing Directors Detlef W. Hübner (Chairman of the Board of Directors), Dennis Hübner (CEO) and Jürgen Schmid are very satisfied with the succession plan and are convinced that they will jointly promote the further globalization of the Deufol Group.
