(nomination pursuant to Section 100 (2) Sentence 1 Number 4 Stock Corporation Act (AktG)). If elected, he will be a candidate to chair the Supervisory Board. The new Chief Executive Officer of Talanx AG is to be Torsten Leue (51), who has previously served as the member of the Board of Management responsible for international business with retail customers and also as Chief Executive Officer of Talanx International AG.
