Dr. Wilhelm Sittenthaler is to join the Executive Board of Wacker Chemie AG. A resolution to this effect was passed by the Supervisory Board. Wilhelm Sittenthaler is a member of Wacker’s Executive Board since May 8, 2008. His contract lasts until 2013. The Executive Board will continue to have four members. The Supervisory Board extended Auguste Willems’ contract for another five years until 2013.
The new appointment is related to the fact that Dr. Peter-Alexander Wacker, the current President & CEO, is leaving the Executive Board. At the Annual Shareholder Meeting on May 8, 2008, he stepped down and stood as a candidate for the Supervisory Board that same day. His successor as President & CEO is Dr. Rudolf Staudigl, who has been a member of the company’s Executive Board since 1995. Wacker Chemie AG had announced this change at its helm in December 2007.
