Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 KR, 19 March 2024 Press release (PDF) Peter E. Bodmer (JPG) Marc Giraudon (JPG) Zurich, 19 March 2024 – Helvetica Property Investors AG (Helvetica) is set to implement leadership changes at the beginning of the second quarter, slightly ahead of the initial schedule. Peter E. Bodmer becomes the new Chairman and Marc Giraudon takes on the role of sole CEO as of 2nd April 2024. The Board of Directors of Helvetica has confirmed Marc Giraudon (55) as will become sole Chief Executive Officer (CEO), following a detailed and thorough introduction to his new role. The hand-over was originally planned for 1st July 2024 and has been accomplished sooner than expected. The transition phase to take over the executive management from founder and former Co-CEO, Hans R. Holdener, was very efficient, facilitating a faster handover of operational responsibility to Marc Giraudon. Hans R. Holdener will hand over his executive and operational functions in Helvetica after a successful and distinguished seventeen-year term, and will continue to serve as a member of the Board of Directors in the holding company, Helvetica Property Group AG. After a decade at the helm as Chairman, Hans Ueli Keller will transition to Vice Chairman, and Peter E. Bodmer is set to step into the role of new Chairman. This change will be effective from early May 2024, after the General Assembly. Peter has many years of proven and wide-ranging experience in the areas of finance and real estate. For more than 25 years, he held management positions in the mechanical engineering, real estate and construction industries. Hans Ueli Keller says: "We're confident in Marc Giraudon leadership and our team's abilities. We thank Hans R. Holdener for his dedication and service, and we warmly welcome Peter E. Bodmer as our new Chairman." “As I transition to Chairman, having served on the board for years, I'm ready to harness our collective strengths for Helvetica's future. It's an exciting journey ahead with Marc Giraudon and our team”, remarks Peter E. Bodmer. Marc Giraudon adds: "I am eager to use my experience to take Helvetica forward, building an investor focused, stable and trustworthy real estate partner. I am very grateful to Hans R. Holdener for his help with the swift handover and for the support and trust of our dedicated and talented staff, and the Board of Directors." Hans R. Holdener adds, “Handing over to Marc Giraudon is an important step, taking Helvetica onto the next phase. His enthusiasm and experience are exactly what the company needs to move forward. Leading Helvetica has been an honour, and I am proud of our accomplishments.” All press releases can be found under www.Helvetica.com Ticker Symbol HSO; security 43 472 505; ISIN CH0434725054.
