Herford, 26 February 2018 - The District Court of Bad Oeynhausen by resolution of 22 February 2018, which was received by Bitcoin Group SE today, has approved the proposal of the Board of Directors of the Company and appointed Mr. Alexander Müller as a new member of the Board of Directors of Bitcoin Group SE. Mr. Alexander Müller is a member of the German Bundestag, graduate computer scientist, publicly appointed and sworn IT expert and has been working as a freelance software consultant and developer since 1989. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of Nassauische Sparkasse Wiesbaden.

The court appointment had become necessary after the former member of the Board of Directors, Mr. Frank Schäffler, had resigned from his office as a member of the Board of Directors of Bitcoin Group SE with a declaration of 16 February 2018 and with effect from the end of 16 February 2018, in order to avoid possible future conflicts of interest due to his recent assignment to the Finance Committee of the German Bundestag.
