Further, the Supervisory Board assigned a new head of Board Department

finance, controlling, IT and legal/audit in the Management Board.
"With implementing its strategy 'Leifheit 2020', initiated by Thomas Radke,
Leifheit has made good progress and has become increasingly successful. By
extending his contract and appointing Ansgar Lengeling, we provide both
continuity and further development at the top, ensuring continuous
sustainable success. At the same time, we thank Dr Claus-O. Zacharias for
his outstanding management of the board department operations throughout
the recent years", says Helmut Zahn, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of
Leifheit AG. The appointment of Ansgar Lengeling is the result of a prudent
planning process for succession of the Board Departments of Dr Claus-O.
Zacharias. "Given the increasing importance of supply chain, we are pleased
to gain a recognized expert for our company, who can build on the
successful work of Dr Zacharias" said Zahn further.
