Changes to the Management Board
13.03.2008
Dr. Wilhelm Sittenthaler is to join the Executive Board of Wacker Chemie AG. A resolution to this effect was passed by the Supervisory Board at its meeting today. Wilhelm Sittenthaler will become a member of WACKER´s Executive Board on May 8, 2008. His contract lasts until 2013. Today´s appointment means that the Executive Board will continue to have four members. At the same meeting, the Supervisory Board extended Auguste Willems´ contract for another five years until 2013.
The new appointment is related to the fact that Dr. Peter-Alexander Wacker, the current President & CEO, is leaving the Executive Board. At the Annual Shareholder Meeting on May 8, 2008, he will step down and stand as a candidate for the Supervisory Board that same day. His successor as President & CEO will be Dr. Rudolf Staudigl, who has been a member of the company´s Executive Board since 1995. Wacker Chemie AG announced this change at its helm in December 2007.
