MEDIA RELEASE
Change to composition of Management Board at HolidayCheck Group AG
- CFO Dr Dirk Schmelzer to step down on 31 March 2017
Munich, Germany, 14 October 2016 - CFO Dr Dirk Schmelzer (49) will step
down from the Management Board of HolidayCheck Group AG at his own request
on 31 March 2017. The Supervisory Board has approved a request by Dr
Schmelzer to end his contract early. Details of his successor will be
announced shortly.
Dirk Schmelzer has held the position of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at
HolidayCheck Group AG since 1 February 2011. Over the last few years he has
played a key role in the company's transition towards an exclusive focus on
the travel business. This involved the successful disposal of all non-
travel brands, generating a total cash inflow of EUR 100 million for
HolidayCheck Group AG. With an equity ratio of around 85 percent, the
HolidayCheck Group has liquid assets of more than EUR 30 million with no
outstanding bank loans.
'Financially, we are ideally placed to realise our vision of developing the
HolidayCheck Group into the most holidaymaker-friendly company in the
world,' explained Georg Hesse, CEO of HolidayCheck Group AG. 'On behalf of
the Management Board and all employees, I would like to thank Dirk
Schmelzer for the commitment he has shown to the company and wish him every
success in the future.'
Dirk Schmelzer will leave the company on very amicable terms to take up a
new career challenge outside HolidayCheck Group AG.
Stefan Winners, Chairperson of the Supervisory Board, noted that 'Dirk
Schmelzer has done a tremendous job over the last six years and played a
crucial role in the ongoing development of the HolidayCheck Group. I would
like to express the gratitude of the entire Supervisory Board and wish him
well in his future career.'
Dirk Schmelzer thanked the Supervisory Board for its support over the years
and said: 'Leaving will not be easy, but I am confident that the company
will maintain its track record of success on a solid foundation.'
