The Nomination Committee of RWE AG’s Supervisory Board has agreed on succession candidates to replace the members who will leave the RWE AG Supervisory Board in May as planned.

At the close of RWE AG’s Annual General Meeting on 3 May 2024, Professor Dr Hans-Peter Keitel, Dr Erhard Schipporeit and Ullrich Sierau will leave the Supervisory Board. At the same time, the term of office of Ute Gerbaulet, who has indicated her availability for a further term, will also end.

After extensive deliberations in 2023, the Nomination Committee decided on the following successor candidates to replace the outgoing Supervisory Board members:

Dr Frank Appel, Chair of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Telekom AG and former Chief Executive Officer of Deutsche Post DHL Group

Professor Jörg Rocholl, President of the European School of Management & Technology (ESMT, Berlin)

Thomas Westphal, Lord Mayor of the city of Dortmund

“I am delighted that Ute Gerbaulet has agreed to stay with us on the Supervisory Board for a second term of office and that the Nomination Committee has found three outstanding candidates for the Supervisory Board’s successor planning. With their proven expertise, they are a very good fit for the broad competence profile of the Board”, said Dr Werner Brandt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of RWE AG.

The candidates are to be presented for election at the Annual General Meeting on 3 May 2024.
