Dr. Ottheinz Jung-Senssfelder and Dipl. Kfm. Michael Wilhelm
Gräfelfing/Munich, March 25, 2003 - With immediate effect, Dr. Ottheinz Jung-Senssfelder, lawyer, and Michael Wilhelm, chartered accountant, have joined the Supervisory Board at MWB Wertpapierhandelshaus AG. The selection of new members was necessary, among other reasons, due to the unexpected death of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Paul Berwein, and the retirement of the two Supervisory Board members Peter Hausmann and Dr. Ulrich Wastl.
Until his scheduled retirement in October 2002, the practicing lawyer Dr. Ottheinz Jung-Senssfelder had been a member of the Board of Management at HVB Real Estate Bank AG. In 2001, this institution was created by the merger of Nürnberger Hypothekenbank, where he had been a member of the Board of Management since 1992, with Bayerische Handelsbank and Süddeutsche Bodencreditbank. In 1987, he was appointed to the Board of Management at Simonbank in Düsseldorf, and in 1982 he was responsible for integrating Röchling Bank - where he had been Director since 1979 - into Bayerische Vereinsbank.
Since 1998, the business graduate (Dipl. Kfm.) Michael Wilhelm has been a partner and member of the Board of Management at WAPAG Allgemeine Revisions- und Treuhandgesellschaft, Aktiengesellschaft, Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft. Until he took his examination as a chartered accountant in 1990, Michael Wilhelm had been with KPMG Peat Marwick and later he became a partner in a medium-sized tax consultant and law firm. His work focuses on auditing and consulting of stock-exchange-listed companies.
Thomas Posovatz, Speaker of the Board of Management at MWB Wertpapierhandelshaus AG, is confident: "We are proud that we were able to appoint two experienced members to our Supervisory Board. Thus, we can take an optimistic outlook to the future." Pursuant to Section 104 of the German Stock Corporation Law, the Munich local and registration court appointed Dr. Jung-Senssfelder and Michael Wilhelm as members of the Supervisory Board at MWB AG with effect as of March 18, 2003.
MWB AG (www.mwb.de) has been listed on the stock exchange since April 1999, and has been licensed for the Prime Standard segment of Deutsche Börse AG since January 1, 2003. It is a leading specialist and market maker for German and international stocks. The company has seats on the stock exchanges in Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Stuttgart. It is also active in the IPO business, capital market consultancy for SMEs and asset management with its 100% subsidiary MWB Wertpapierhandelsbank.
