Luxembourg/Koblenz, May 12, 2015 - Stabilus S.A.

Andi Klein, Investment Partner at private equity investment firm Triton and responsible for Triton's participation in Stabilus from 2010 to 2015, joined the Stabilus advisory board in 2010, following the majority acquisition of the Stabilus holding company (today: Stabilus S.A.) by Triton.

Stabilus wishes to thank Mr. Klein for his outstanding contribution to the success of Stabilus.

With the appointment of Dr. Joachim Rauhut (61), a member of the executive board of Wacker Chemie AG, Stabilus gains a proven industry and capital markets expert for its supervisory board. He joined the management board of Wacker-Chemie GmbH in 2001 and supported Wacker Chemie's initial public offering in 2006. Previously, he had been serving in various leading corporate positions, including posts at Mannesmann AG and Krauss-Maffei AG. Dr. Rauhut completed his studies with a degree in industrial engineering and a doctorate in engineering.

Apart from Dr. Rauhut's appointment, the composition of the supervisory board - with chairman Udo Stark, deputy chairman Dr. Stephan Kessel as well as Nizar Ghoussaini - remains unchanged.
