The Jungfraubahn Holding AG Executive Board was informed by Dr. Jürg Rieben at

(BEKB) Hanspeter Rüfenacht as a new member at the Annual General Meeting. After
the Annual General Meeting, the Executive Board will reform.

Hanspeter Rüfenacht can look back on a long career at the Berner Kantonalbank
AG. After holding several senior positions in private and corporate banking, as
well as in credit management at the Schweizerischen Bankgesellschaft and later
the UBS, the 59-year-old moved to the BEKB as head of credit management as early
as the end of 1999. In 2002, he became Head of the Department for Consulting and
Sales, and at the same time was elected a member of the Executive Board. Since
the beginning of 2012, Hanspeter Rüfenacht has been the CEO of the Berner
Kantonalbank. A native of Spiez, he is President of the Volkswirtschaftlichen
Gesellschaft des Kantons Bern as well as an Executive Board member of the

Kantonalbanken. Hanspeter Rüfenacht is married and has four children.
