Wiesbaden, 10 August 2023 – In its first constituent meeting, Jean Pierre Mustier was elected as Chairman to the Supervisory Board. Jean Pierre Mustier’s appointment will be effective as soon as the approval by the ECB is granted. Until then Prof. Dr. Hermann Wagner will remain the Chairman of the Supervisory Board. He will continue to chair the Audit Committee until the AGM in 2024, thus securing an orderly transition within the Supervisory Board.

In the name of the Supervisory Board, I’d also like to express my sincere thanks to Hermann Wagner for his dedicated work over the past eight years and for steering Aareal towards a new era.”
