Changes in the chair of the Dräger Supervisory Board

Lübeck – Stefan Lauer, currently Chairman of all Dräger Supervisory Boards, has decided to step down as Chairman at the end of the year for health reasons. The Supervisory Board committees approved this move at their meetings today and passed the following resolutions:

From January 1, 2025, the chair of the Supervisory Board of Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA will be taken over by Maria Dietz, who has been a member of the Supervisory Board since 2018. The chair of all other committees (Joint Committee of Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, Supervisory Board of Dräger Safety AG & Co. KGaA and Supervisory Board of Dräger Safety Verwaltungs AG) will be taken over by Professor Thorsten Grenz, who has been a member of all five Supervisory Boards since 2008 and remains Chairman of the Audit Committee. Stefan Lauer will remain Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Drägerwerk Verwaltungs AG.

Stefan Dräger, Chairman of the Executive Board of Drägerwerk Verwaltungs AG: “I am very pleased with this team effort by the Supervisory Board. In this way, we can ensure the Company's ability to act and enable the current Chairman to heal. I would like to thank Maria Dietz and Thorsten Grenz for their willingness to take on additional responsibility and wish Stefan Lauer good health.”

Once Stefan Lauer has made a full recovery, the committees will once again decide on their chair.
