Press Release
SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES announces changes to the Supervisory and Executive
Boards
Kahl am Main, August 17, 2009 - Mr. Stefan A. Baustert (Dipl.-Kfm.), Chief
Executive Officer of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG, is leaving the company as of
August 31, 2009 by mutual consent with the Supervisory Board. The
Supervisory Board would like to thank Mr. Baustert for his outstanding
service since January 2003.
At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG
decided to appoint the company's Supervisory Board Chairman , Mr. Roland
Lacher, Dipl.-Ing. (67), to the Executive Board with immediate effect for
the period up to March 31, 2010 in line with Art. 105 Para. 2 of the Stock
Corporation Act (AktG). Mr. Roland Lacher will take on the post of Chief
Executive Officer of the company. There are also plans to appoint him as
Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the holding company STANGL
Semiconductor Equipment AG (STANGL) in Eichenau as soon as possible. In
addition, Mr. Johann Stangl will also be appointed to the STANGL
Supervisory Board. Mr. Lacher will return to the SINGULUS Supervisory Board
as of April 1, 2010.
At the same time, the Supervisory Board decided to appoint Dr.-Ing Stefan
Rinck (51) as a member of the SINGULUS Executive Board effective September
1, 2009. Dr. Rinck most recently worked as managing director of Linde
Material Handling GmbH Co. KG/Kion Group and has international experience
in marketing / sales as well as developing technologically complex
products. He will also be appointed to the STANGL Executive Board as part
of the personnel sharing agreement and will focus on his management tasks
there for the first six months. From April 1, 2010, Dr. Rinck will become
Chief Executive Officer of SINGULUS.
For the period of Mr. Lacher's posting in the SINGLUS Executive Board, the
Vice Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Dr. Wolfhard Leichnitz (56), will
fulfill the role of Chairman of the Supervisory Board.
In an effort to avoid a vacancy in the SINGULUS Supervisory Board, which
consists of three members according to the articles of the company, the
Supervisory Board has decided to approach the responsible local court in
Aschaffenburg with the proposal to appoint Mr. Jürgen Lauer (45, Dipl.-BW
and MBA) to the company's Supervisory Board immediately for the period up
to March 31, 2010. Mr. Lauer is managing director of JüLa Beteiligungs
GmbH, Weißenhorn, as well as Vice Chairman of the Supervisory Board at
WashTec AG in Augsburg among other roles.
The Supervisory Board is convinced that SINGULUS can quickly regain its
stability and continuity with these changes to the company's management.
This would allow the company to successfully overcome current and future
challenges in the markets for optical disc and photovoltaic equipment and
return to its growth track with fresh momentum in the medium term.
