OLDENBURG (dpa-AFX) - The photo services provider Cewe will continue to face a bruising leadership dispute in the new year. As the board of the Neumüller Cewe Color Foundation announced on Sunday, two legal opinions have shown that the vote on the membership of Rolf Hollander in the board of trustees for another four years and likewise on his function as chairman did not reach the majority required by the articles of association. The board had already expressed doubts about the appointment at the end of November.

The Executive Board of the Neumüller Cewe Color Foundation is therefore required to inform the responsible foundation authority accordingly, the statement continued. It is asking the authority to ensure that the Board of Trustees of the foundation is properly re-staffed and thus remains capable of acting.

As a personally liable partner, the Neumüller Cewe Color

Foundation manages the business of the listed Cewe Stiftung & Co. KGaA.
