Joachim Schoss has been a member of the Board of Directors of Goldbach Group AG since 2002 and is also a member of the Compensation and Business Development Committees.

Speaking about his decision, Joachim Schoss said, "I leave the Board of Directors with the good feeling that today, Goldbach Group is in a very good position with regard to both the overall business and its personnel". Jens Alder, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Goldbach Group, would like to thank Joachim Schoss for his 14 years of valuable service at the company.

The Board of Directors will propose to the General Meeting that Arndt C. Groth be chosen as Joachim Schoss' successor. He would serve on both the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee.

Following his business administration studies at the Westfälische Wilhelms University in Münster, he worked in numerous management positions in internet and media companies, most recently as CEO of Publigroupe in Lausanne.
