Implenia is adapting its organization and strengthening its management team. In the future, Implenia will operate with entrepreneurial divisions as well as global functions and a center of competence. The new management team - the Implenia Executive Committee - will be composed as follows. Next to André Wyss (CEO), the Group will build on the experienced internal leaders Adrian Wyss (Head Development and Head Specialties a.i.), Jens Vollmar (Head Buildings), René Kotacka (Head Civil Engineering), German Grüniger (General Counsel) and Matthias Jacob (Head of Country Management), who all have strong track records in their respective areas. Implenia is delighted to welcome Marco Dirren (formerly of SBB) and Christelle Beneteau (formerly of LafargeHolcim) to the roles of CFO and CHRO, both of whom possess long-term experience in areas relevant for Implenia. They will assume their new roles on May 1, 2019. With the departure of Beat Fellmann, CFO, the Group is losing an Executive Committee colleague who has shaped Implenia significantly over many years. Beat Fellmann informed CEO André Wyss some time ago that, after more than ten years as CFO and Head Corporate Center of Implenia, he was considering pursuing a new career path and focusing on existing and new activities outside the Group. After his departure from the Executive Committee, he will still be available to ensure an optimal handover. There are also some other changes to the management team. Christof Gämperle, Head Austria & Romania, will leave the Group but continue his position on an interim basis until then. Thomas Foery, Head Human Resources, and Stefan Roth, Head Construction Germany, are leaving the extended management team. Thomas Foery will remain in his position on an interim basis to ensure a smooth handover. Stefan Roth will leave Implenia. André Métral, Head Construction Switzerland, will leave the Executive Committee. He will remain at Implenia, keeping his current role. Implenia would like to thank all departing colleagues for their dedication and service.
The Board of Directors has thus decided to propose to shareholders, at the Implenia Ltd. Annual General Meeting on March 26, 2019, a reduced dividend of CHF 0.50 per share (2017: CHF 2.00 per share).
