Management Board

The Management Board is responsible for managing the company. Its members are jointly accountable for the management of the company. The duties, responsibilities and procedures of our Management Board and the committees installed by the Board are specified in its Terms of Reference, which are available on our Internet website.

On May 24, 2007 Dr. Tessen von Heydebreck left the Management Board. His responsibilities were taken over by the remaining members of the Management Board. The following paragraphs show information on the current members of the Management Board. The information includes their ages as of December 31, 2007, the year in which they were appointed and the year in which their term expires, their current positions or area of responsibility and their principal business activities outside our company. The members of our Management Board have generally undertaken not to assume chairmanships of supervisory boards of companies outside our consolidated group.
