Pliezhausen, April 25, 2024: DATAGROUP (WKN A0JC8S) is reorganizing its top management structure for the next stage of growth. Oliver Thome, member of the Management Board since October 2021 and responsible for Finance, Investor Relations and M&A, will leave the company at his own request with effect from April 30, 2024 to take on a new challenge. His responsibilities will be taken over by CEO Andreas Baresel in future. The Management Board will thus consist of Andreas Baresel and Dr Sabine Laukemann and will be supported by an extended level of divisional board members in the future. DATAGROUP is thus laying a robust and future-oriented foundation for scalable further growth and innovation.

"We regret but respect Mr Thome's wish to leave our company. He has made a valuable contribution to the further development of DATAGROUP SE during his time at the head of the Finance, Merger & Acquisition and Investor Relations departments. I would like to thank him for this on behalf of the Supervisory Board. We wish Mr Thome all the best for his personal and professional future", says Heinz Hilgert, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of DATAGROUP SE.

As CEO and CFO, Andreas Baresel will be responsible for Finance, M&A and Investor Relations as well as the service portfolio. Dr Sabine Laukemann will be responsible for Organization, Legal, Human Resources, Corporate Communications and ESG.

Based on a continued good order intake and strong demand for CORBOX services, DATAGROUP expects a significant growth spurt in the medium term. Moreover, the future drivers artificial intelligence, cyber security and cloud are strongly changing the IT services market. In order to be optimally positioned for this development and the related additional growth opportunities, the two Management Board members Andreas Baresel and Dr Sabine Laukemann will be supported by two divisional board members in the future.
