- All agenda items passed with a large majority
- Henning Giesecke succeeds Hans-Peter Haase as Chairman of the Supervisory
Board
Düsseldorf, June 23, 2010 - Alno AG received strong support from its
shareholders in its Ordinary General Meeting today, which was held in
Düsseldorf for the first time. The shareholders attending passed all of the
agenda items with a large majority. At the same time, the shareholders
elected a new Supervisory Board.
The agenda items passed including authorizing the Managing Board, with the
approval of the Supervisory Board, to increase the company's share capital
on one or several occasions by June 22, 2015 by up to EUR 22,615,647.60 by
issuing up to 8,698,326 no-par value shares against cash or non-cash
contributions. The resolutions on changes to the Articles of Incorporation
- some of which were based on the new laws (ARUG) - were also approved.
The group's headquarters was moved to Düsseldorf from Pfullendorf at the
start of 2010, and the General Meeting has now also voted to move Alno AG's
registered office to Düsseldorf according to its Articles of Incorporation.
'We would like to thank our shareholders for the trust they place in us,
despite the turbulence in the past,' commented CEO Jörg Deisel as part of
his address.
'Our ALNO 2013 concept has put us right on track to reinforce our
positioning in future as Germany's second largest kitchen manufacturer, and
the fourth largest in Europe, and move us back into the profit-zone,'
continued Deisel.
The General Meeting appointed new representatives to the Supervisory Board,
as the period of office of the former Supervisory Board members expired at
the end of the General Meeting as a result of the status method (Sections
98 and 99 of the Aktiengesetz) being implemented. As a result of the fact
that the number of employees fell to below 2,000, the Supervisory Board is
now composed according to the Drittelbeteiligungsgesetz (DritbetG -
One-Third Employee Participation Act). In addition, the number of members
of the Supervisory Board was cut from twelve to nine. The following
continue to be members of the Board: Werner Devinck, Dr. Jürgen Diegruber,
Christoph Maaß, Anton Walther and Armin Weiland. Henning Giesecke was
appointed as a new member of the Supervisory Board, and he thus suceeds
Hans-Peter Haase, who could no longer be elected due to his age. Mr.
Giesecke is already a Supervisory Board member with Endurance Capital AG,
Munich, and Rothenberger Werkzeuge AG, Kelkheim. In line with the act on a
one-third participation by employees in the Supervisory Board, Jörg Kespohl
and Rudolph Wisser are members of the Supervisory Board, and a third
employee representative still has to be appointed.
In its inaugural meeting directly following the General Meeting, Henning
Giesecke was elected as Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Rudolf Wisser
was re-elected as Deputy Chairman.
