I wish him all the best at Oakley and I am very pleased that he will surely stay attached to ProSiebenSat.1 in his new role. Our new CFO Jan Kemper will assume his responsibilities and I am convinced that he will successfully pursue ProSiebenSat.1's acquisition strategy together with our excellent M&A team under the direction of Florian Tappeiner.

Dr. Ralf Schremper: ProSiebenSat.1 is a great and dynamic company that offers a lot of opportunities. Therefore, my special thanks goes to Thomas Ebeling, who has brought me into the Group and has always put me on new challenges. The M&A success would not have been possible without the outstanding commitment of my team, so I would also like to thank them very much. I wish Florian Tappeiner and the team all the best in continuing the acquisition strategy.
