Paris, 05 July 2018. The Supervisory Board of the European Power Exchange EPEX SPOT has appointed Ralph Danielski as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairman of the Management Board of EPEX SPOT. He follows Jean-François Conil-Lacoste who will step down as he turns 65, according to French Corporate Law.

Dr. Jürgen Kroneberg, Chairman of the Supervisory Board: "Ralph Danielski brings to the table a solid experience in the financial sector, and his background makes him an excellent match for this position.

EPEX SPOT drives innovation in European power markets and acts in a fast moving environment with increasing competition and regulatory challenges. As former CEO of an exchange, Ralph Danielski has the skills needed to continue the successful path of EPEX SPOT."

Ralph Danielski has already left his position of CEO at Boerse Stuttgart GmbH and EUWAX AG and will start his role at EPEX SPOT as of 13 October 2018. Over the years he has held several managing positions at Deutsche Börse, Banque Centrale de Luxembourg and UBS.

Jean-François Conil-Lacoste was the founding CEO of Powernext, the Paris based Energy Exchange in 2001. EPEX SPOT was created in 2008 under his impetus. He has managed the company since its inception and has been instrumental in the creation of the Internal Electricity Market. Dr. Jürgen Kroneberg acknowledges: "We are grateful to Jean-François whose vision and strong leadership have given birth to an efficient, innovative and customer-driven European spot power exchange covering

now eight countries. I am content that he has agreed to remain at the company's disposal in an advisory capacity."
