CEO Petra von Strombeck to leave Lotto24

(Hamburg, 30 September 2019) Petra von Strombeck, CEO of Lotto24 AG (), Germany's leading online provider of state lotteries, is to step down from her position by mutual agreement and on amicable terms as of 31 December 2019 in order to join the Executive Board of another company. After twelve years in the lottery business, of which more than seven as CEO of Lotto24 AG, Ms von Strombeck wants to pursue a new career challenge. As a result, Petra von Strombeck will also not be joining the Executive Board of ZEAL Network SE, as originally planned. Since the completion of its takeover in May 2019, ZEAL Network SE is the majority shareholder of Lotto24 AG.

Petra von Strombeck took Lotto24 AG public in 2012 following its spin-off from Tipp24 SE (now ZEAL). Since this time, the company's market capitalisation has increased more than tenfold. Under her leadership, Lotto24 developed into Germany's leading online provider of state lotteries, achieved break-even in its fiscal year 2017 and generated billings of over EUR 320 million in 2018 with around 2.2 million customers.

"We deeply regret the decision of Ms von Strombeck, but wish her all the best for her personal and professional future," says Peter Steiner, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Lotto24 AG. "As the CEO of Lotto24 AG, Ms von Strombeck was decisive in shaping the company over the past seven years and making it the undisputed market leader in Germany's online lotto brokerage sector."

The Supervisory Board of Lotto24 AG will decide on a successor to Petra von Strombeck as quickly as possible.
