Christoph Mura To Leave EEX Group - Reshuffling On The EEX And ECC Management Boards

Dr Christoph Mura has asked the Supervisory Boards of European Energy Exchange AG (EEX) and European Commodity Clearing AG (ECC) to release him from the existing employment relationships for personal reasons by amicable and mutual agreement. At today’s meeting, the members of the Supervisory Board complied with this request. Mura is leaving EEX Group with immediate effect. His tasks will be assumed by the other members of the Management Board.

The members of the Supervisory Board thank Dr Christoph Mura for the work performed over the last years and wish him all the best both for his further career and his private life.

At the same meeting, the Supervisory Board of EEX adopted the resolution to appoint Dr Thomas Siegl a member of the EEX Management Board in the capacity of the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) from 1st October 2012. Siegl has held the same position on the ECC Management Board since May 2010 and will continue to work in this capacity in the future.

In addition to this, the ECC Supervisory Board declared its intention to appoint Steffen Köhler as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Iris Weidinger as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) on the ECC Management Board subject to the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority’s (BAFin) approval. They are both members of the EEX Management Board and will also continue to work in this capacity in the future.

This is intended to ensure that the Management Boards of EEX and ECC, which also include Peter Reitz as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of both companies in addition to the three members mentioned above, have the same staffing.
