New Chairman of the Board of Directors of Mobimo Holding AG
Lucerne/Küsnacht, 12 September 2013 - At yesterday's meeting of the Board
of Directors, Mobimo Holding AG appointed its Vice Chairman Georges Theiler
as the new Chairman of the company's Board of Directors. The handover is
connected to today's announcement of the planned IPO by Ledermann
Immobilien AG, whose founder and owner, Urs Ledermann, has been member of
the Mobimo Holding AG Board of Directors since 2003 and Chairman since
2008. The handover will take place in consultation with Mr Ledermann, who
will remain with the company as a member of the Board of Directors until
the end of his one-year term of office, i.e. until the next General
Meeting, without being member of a committee.
The Board of Directors and the Executive Board would like to take this
opportunity to thank Mr Ledermann and express their tremendous respect for
all that he has accomplished for Mobimo over a period of many years. Under
his management, the Group's strategy was redefined and successfully
implemented in 2008. Its diversified real estate portfolio has grown from
around CHF 1.5 billion in 2008 to CHF 2.5 billion today and at the same
time has undergone significant optimisation in terms of quality.
Georges Theiler (born 1949) has been a member of the Board of Directors of
Mobimo Holding AG since 2000. He has also been Chairman of the Real Estate
Committee and the Remuneration Committee to date. Mr Theiler is an
entrepreneur and Certified Operational Engineer (Dipl. Betriebsingenieur
ETH) and attended the Federal Institute of Technology. He was elected to
the Swiss Council of States as a representative of the canton of Lucerne in
2011.
