Against this background, CENIT appreciates PRIMEPULSE's decision to acquire a stake in the company and thus support its continued success. Kurt Bengel, CEO of CENIT AG, explains: "Since its foundation, CENIT has contributed to the creation of innovative IT technologies of tomorrow. We see the participation of PRIMEPULSE as proof that we are seen as an attractive, successful and clearly sustainable company far beyond our partner and customer environment". "CENIT associates the new investor with new competences as well as a strong network that will support us in the implementation of the "CENIT 2025 Strategy" and the necessary further developments", Kurt Bengel continues.
According to PRIMEPULSE, the Munich-based company is pursuing the goal of making CENIT a growth company and accompanying it on its further way to a potential TecDAX value. To this end, PRIMEPULSE aims to influence the composition of CENIT's Supervisory Board.
Against the background of the change in the composition of the Supervisory Board suggested by PRIMEPULSE, the members of the Supervisory Board – Prof. Dr.-Ing. Oliver Riedel (Chairman) and Stephan Gier – have announced that they will make their offices available for the Annual General Meeting to be held in May 2021. This should enable a new election to the Supervisory Board consisting of three members, one third of which are currently employee representatives.
"Our Supervisory Board is currently very competent and strongly positioned thanks to its good networking in industry and research and its many years of experience in the sector. We welcome PRIMEPULSE as a new investor and enabler and look forward to the joint path to success and constructive discussions", says CENIT CEO Kurt Bengel.
