Koblenz, February 21, 2025 – The CFO of Stabilus SE (WKN: STAB1L, ISIN: DE000STAB1L8), Stefan Bauerreis, has requested the Supervisory Board to approve the early termination of his contract for personal reasons. The Supervisory Board has complied with this request, and Stefan Bauerreis will leave the company at the end of the month. CEO Dr. Michael Büchsner will assume his responsibilities on an interim basis. A structured search process has been initiated to fill the position of Chief Financial Officer.

He subsequently held various management positions at international companies, mainly in the fields of mechanical and plant engineering and in the automotive industry. In his previous positions, he acted as Chief Financial Officer and was responsible for IT, HR, Legal, the operational supply chain management and post-merger integration. Dr. v. Wietersheim has been working as interim managing director and board member for nearly 15 years and has been active in these functions at various companies in Germany and abroad as Chief Financial Officer, Chief Transformation Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

Dr. Stephan Kessel, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Stabilus SE, said: "We would like to thank Stefan Bauerreis for his dedication over the past few years and wish him all the best for the future.
