ProSiebenSat.1 restructures investment management of Commerce & Ventures segment

Munich, 15 June 2021. ProSiebenSat.1 has bundled its digital investments under the umbrella of the newly established Commerce & Ventures segment since January 2021. This includes NuCom Group and all its majority interests, as well as SevenVentures, SevenAccelerator and SevenGrowth.

Together with General Atlantic, ProSiebenSat.1 has successfully driven the growth of the NuCom Groups holdings over the past three years. For the most part, the companies got off to a good start this year, largely overcoming Corona-related challenges, repositioning themselves structurally, and completing their respective management teams.

In the next stage of development, the portfolio companies will assume more responsibility so that they can expand their business models more strongly under their own steam. To simplify hierarchies at the same time, the managing directors of the portfolio companies are now working even more closely with the shareholders. The main aim is to ensure that the assets benefit more quickly from the extensive and versatile expertise of their shareholders.

The co-CEOs of NuCom Group, Claas van Delden and Florian Tappeiner, have been driving the realignment of the portfolio over the past year. Successfully implementing direct cooperation between shareholders and assets, the two CEOs have decided to pursue new challenges outside the Group as of July 1. ProSiebenSat.1 Group and General Atlantic would like to thank Claas van Delden and Florian Tappeiner for their extraordinarily successful commitment to the Group, NuCom Group and its subsidiaries over the past years. The two managers have significantly driven and accelerated the growth and diversification of the entire Group. ProSiebenSat.1 and General Atlantic wish them both great success in their future careers!

The heads of the Commerce & Ventures segment, Friedrich Thoma and Max Berkemeier, who previously managed the segment together with Claas van Delden and Florian Tappeiner, will also take over the management of NuCom Group in the course of the restructuring: Friedrich Thoma as CEO and Max Berkemeier - as before - as CFO.

Rainer Beaujean, Chairman of the Executive Board of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE: The closer cooperation with the NuCom assets will help us to expand the synergies within the Group even more. By bundling all our investment businesses under the umbrella of the Commerce & Ventures segment, we are very well positioned to be the ideal partner for companies across all phases of growth. At the same time, I would like to thank Claas and Florian, whose high level of commitment has significantly driven NuCom Groups growth trajectory over the last three years, while also accelerating the Groups diversification. I wish them both all the very best for the future.

J rn Nikolay, Managing Director and Head of General Atlantics German business: We would like to thank Claas van Delden and Florian Tappeiner for their entrepreneurial vision and courage in shaping and expanding the NuCom portfolio. Together with ProSiebenSat.1, we now look forward to developing the Group further in its new structure and, above all, to the continued cooperation with the companies within NuCom Group.
