Amsterdam, 28 February 2019 (Regulated Information) — The Supervisory Board of AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. (“AMG”, EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: “AMG”) resolved during its meeting on 27 February 2019 to propose to the General Meeting of Shareholders to make the following changes to its composition.
At the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) in May 2019, Mr. Jack Messman will have served twelve years on the Supervisory Board of AMG when his current term ends. Mr. Messman has indicated that he wishes to retire from the Supervisory Board in May 2019, given other priorities and the term limits for Supervisory Directors under the Dutch Corporate Governance Code. The Supervisory Board is deeply grateful for the long service and dedication to AMG by Mr. Messman.
Before becoming Chairman in 2018, Mr. Messman was Vice Chairman since 2007 and a long-serving member and Chair of AMG’s Remuneration Committee and before that of the Audit & Risk Management Committee, and has been a major contributor to the excellent quality of AMG’s current leadership team by implementing and overseeing AMG’s competitive executive compensation system.
Professor Steve Hanke will have served six years on the Supervisory Board in May 2019 when his current term ends. AMG is very pleased to announce that Professor Hanke, currently Chair of the Audit & Risk Management Committee, will make himself available for re-appointment for a term of four years. The Supervisory Board will nominate Professor Hanke for re-appointment by the General Meeting Shareholders on May 1 of this year as independent member of the Supervisory Board for a term of four years.
Given the retirement of Mr. Messman as member and Chairman of the Supervisory Board after the Annual Meeting in May 2019, AMG is pleased to announce that the Supervisory Board plans to appoint Professor Steve Hanke as Chairman of the Supervisory Board as of May 1, 2019 after the Annual Meeting.
Given the vacancy created by the retirement of Mr. Messman, the Supervisory Board is pleased to announce that it will nominate Ms. Dagmar Bottenbruch as an independent Supervisory Board member for appointment by the General Meeting of Shareholders on May 1, 2019. Ms. Bottenbruch has German and US citizenship and brings highly relevant experience in the field of financial services as well as public and private equity and venture capital investments.
