of United Internet AG, Mr. Norbert Lang, is to leave the company at his own

After 21 years in the United Internet Group, 13 years of which as CFO,

Management Board thank Mr. Lang for his extremely successful work.
Ralph Dommermuth, founder and CEO of United Internet, states: "Norbert
Lang's achievements cannot be praised highly enough. He is an outstanding
businessman whose professionalism and human touch never ceased to inspire
me in our 21 years of close and cooperative collaboration. Despite all the
challenges, we never had a single bad day in all this time!"
Norbert Lang will stay in close contact with the United Internet Group via
his seats on the supervisory boards of various companies in which the Group
holds equity stakes.
The company's Supervisory Board has been able to engage the services of Mr.
