ProSiebenSat.1 appoints supervisory board

ProSiebenSat.1 Media has elected Katharina Behrends, Dr. Katrin Burkhardt, Thomas Ingelfinger and Prof. Dr. Cai-Nicolas Ziegler to join the group’s supervisory board.

A total of four seats were up for election, following the departures of Dr. Marion Helmes, Vice chairwoman of the supervisory board, as well as Lawrence A. Aidem and Dr. Antonella Mei-Pochtler on June 30. A further seat had also become vacant due to the transition of Bert Habets from the supervisory board to the group’s executive board in November.

At the meeting, the supervisory board elected Prof. Dr. Rolf Nonnenmacher as vice chairman of the Board, succeeding Dr. Marion Helmes.

Dr. Andreas Wiele, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE: “On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I would like to thank the shareholders for their trust, and at the same time welcome our new members. Their many years of experience and very diverse qualifications will enrich the Board and support ProSiebenSat.1 in its digital transformation. I am pleased that Bert Habets, as the new CEO, had for the first time the opportunity to present to all shareholders our clear strategy with which he will lead ProSiebenSat.1 with a focus on the Entertainment business into the future. The Supervisory Board expressly supports this.”

The company also announced the shareholders of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE also agreed at the annual general meeting that a significantly reduced dividend of EUR 0.05 per share will be distributed to the holders entitled to dividends for financial year 2022 (previous year: EUR 0.80).
