New CEO of Aurubis AG

The Aurubis AG Executive Board Chairman, Mr. Peter Willbrandt, stepped down from his position on October 31, 2014 in consultation with the Supervisory Board. Dr.-Ing. Bernd Drouven has been dispatched from the Supervisory Board to the Executive Board for 12 months starting November 1, 2014 and has assumed the role of Executive Board Chairman.

Mr. Willbrandt informed the Supervisory Board that he would no longer be available for an extension of his term, which was originally set to run until March 31, 2015, for personal reasons. In the interest of a quick and smooth change in Aurubis AG’s leadership, the Supervisory Board and Mr. Willbrandt agreed on a premature termination of his appointment.

The Supervisory Board would like to thank Mr. Willbrandt for his many years of successful service for the benefit of the Aurubis Group.
