I would like to thank Carsten Poppinga for his major contribution in helping to re-establish Uniper as a successful trading house following the stabilization by the German state. He has substantially optimized the risk profile of the power and gas portfolio, set the course for building a long-term gas procurement portfolio, and successfully advanced our trading and sales activities. The Supervisory Board and the Management Board wish Carsten Poppinga every success and all the very best for his professional and personal future.

It has been one of the most exciting and, at the same time, most demanding periods of my professional life to be responsible for Uniper's trading and sales business as a member of the Management Board. I look back with gratitude on what we have achieved together. At the same time, I am looking forward to focusing fully on the trading business again in my new role. I thank the Supervisory Board and my fellow board members for their trust.
