Frankfurt am Main, October 29, 2026. Sonja Wärntges, Chairwoman of the Executive Board of Branicks Group AG (ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4 and DE000A41YEE3) (“Branicks”), is stepping down as Chairwoman of the Executive Board of Branicks Group AG and will leave the Executive Board of Branicks Group AG by mutual agreement at the end of October 2026. Sonja Wärntges has been a member of the Executive Board since May 2013, initially as Chief Financial Officer, and has served as Chairwoman of the Executive Board since October 2017.

Starting in November 2026, the Executive Board will thus consist of Josef Schultheis, who, in addition to his role as Chief Restructuring Officer, will assume Ms. Wärntges’s previous responsibilities, and Johannes von Mutius as Chief Investment Officer.

Sonja Wärntges said: “The past few years have been marked by successes, but also—most recently—by significant challenges. With the agreed-upon restructuring plan, we have reached an important milestone. That is why now is the right time to hand over responsibility. I would like to thank the Supervisory Board, my colleagues on the Executive Board, and all employees for their cooperation, and I wish Branicks continued success.”

On behalf of the Supervisory Board, the Chairman thanked Ms. Wärntges for her dedication during various phases of the company’s development and wished her all the best in her future endeavors, both personally and professionally.
