The managers, who all belong to the strategic steering group of DATAGROUP SE and report directly to the management board, acquired a total of 28,333 shares from HHS Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH in off-market transactions. Holding more than 60 % of the shares, HHS is the main shareholder of DATAGROUP SE and is owned by DATAGROUP founder and CEO Max H.-H. Schaber. Commenting on the project Schaber said: 'The intensive and good cooperation within the management team is a key component of DATAGROUP's success. In this group, for instance, we have formulated the future strategy DATAGROUP 2020, which enabled us to expand and further develop our position in the market in a very successful way. It is important for me that our managers identify themselves with the company and participate in the long-term success of the company.
