GRENKE: Chair of the Board of Directors Antje Leminsky leaves the Company; Michael Bücker to take over as of August 1, 
2021 
Baden-Baden, June 14, 2021: GRENKE AG announces that the Chair of the Board of Directors, Antje Leminsky, has decided 
for personal reasons to leave the Company as of June 30, 2021 after eight years on the Board of Directors of GRENKE AG, 
including three years as Chair of the Board of Directors. The Supervisory Board and Ms Leminsky have agreed today that 
Ms Leminsky will resign as the Chair and member of the Board of Directors as of this date. The existing employment 
contract will also be terminated on this date. The Supervisory Board has appointed Michael Bücker as Chair of the Board 
of Directors, effective August 1, 2021. Deputisation arrangements within the Board of Directors will take hold during 
the transition period. 
"I have been a member of the Board of Directors of GRENKE AG for eight years," explains Antje Leminsky. "Taking over 
the chairmanship from our founder Wolfgang Grenke in 2018 was a milestone in my career. Together with my colleagues on 
the Board of Directors and our employees, we were able to lead the Company to the most successful year in its history 
in 2019. Our latest annual and consolidated financial statements show that we have also coped well with the 2020 crisis 
year. The unqualified audit opinion from KPMG, our respectable business performance in the first months of 2021, and 
the regulatory audits that have now been completed substantiate the fact that GRENKE AG is a resilient company and that 
the essential prerequisites for a sustainable basis of trust among our investors, customers and employees have been 
created. For me, this is the ideal time to hand over my position and take on a new challenge." 
Prof Ernst-Moritz Lipp, Chair of the Supervisory Board of GRENKE AG: "The Supervisory Board would like to thank Ms 
Leminsky for her valuable contribution over the past several years. We very much regret that she will be leaving 
GRENKE. During her long tenure, she was highly instrumental in driving our profitable growth and developing new 
markets, as well as in GRENKE's digitalisation. Our special appreciation goes to her devoted commitment to fending off 
the short-seller attack. The recently published business figures underscore her successful work. At the same time, we 
are very pleased to have inspired an excellent successor in Michael Bücker, who will lead GRENKE into its next phase of 
its development. His experience and reputation provide a clear, positive signal to the market." 
Michael Bücker is looking forward to his new role: "I have known GRENKE AG very well for many years due to my work in 
the leasing and corporate finance area. The history and strong core of the business model are absolutely compelling. 
Building on this foundation with the entire team to make the Company and its internal structures fit for the next 
growth steps: I see that as my most important task." 
Michael Bücker, who was born in 1962 and holds a Master's in Business Administration, was most recently a member of the 
Board of Management of Bayerische Landesbank, responsible for Corporates & Markets. Prior to this, he was the Chief 
Executive Officer of Commerz Real AG and has also held various positions at Commerzbank AG, Deutsche Immobilien Leasing 
GmbH in Frankfurt and Commerz- und Industrie-Leasing GmbH in Hamburg.
