From June 3, 2015, the Board of Directors of Valartis Group AG designates Stephan Haberle, member of the Board of Directors, as Group CEO. He will succeed Gustav Stenbolt, Group CEO of Valartis Group, who will be nominated for election as Chairman by the Board of Directors at the General Meeting on June 2, 2015. For that reason, Stephan Haberle will no longer be available for re-election as member of the Board of Directors at the Valartis Group AG 2015 General Meeting.

If Mr. Stenbolt is elected, Urs Maurer-Lambrou will be designated Vice-Chairman. Rolf Muller-Senn will no longer be available for re-election. However, he will remain a member of the Boards of Directors of Valartis Finance Holding AG, Liechtenstein, and Valartis Bank (Liechtenstein) AG, as well as a member of the Supervisory Board of Valartis Bank (Austria) AG.

Following the 2015 General Meeting, Stephan Haberle will take up his position as Group CEO of Valartis Group AG and will, therefore, not be available for re-election. Vincenzo Di Pierri, Deputy Group CEO of Valartis Group and former CEO of Valartis Bank AG, Switzerland, will withdraw from Group Executive Management on June 3, 2015. Stephan Haberle has many years of experience in international wealth management and considerable experience in management positions.

He managed MediBank in Zug as CEO between 2013 and 2015. Stephan Haberle has been a member of the Board of Directors of Valartis Group since May 13, 2014.
