Grenz and Reppegather are now members of the Audit Committee.

Heidelberg, August 2, 2023 – Software and consulting company SNP Schneider-Neureither Partner SE has reorganized its Board of Directors. At yesterday’s meeting of SNP’s Board of Directors, the previous Deputy Chairman, Dr. Karl Benedikt Biesinger, was elected Chairman, and Prof. Dr. Thorsten Grenz was elected as his deputy. In addition, Prof. Dr. Grenz will chair the Audit Committee, of which Mr. Sebastian Reppegather is also a member.

“We are pleased to fully support SNP’s positive business development since Dr. Jens Amail took over”, said Dr. Karl Benedikt Biesinger. “The Board of Directors firmly believes that the transition to the dualistic system proposed by our main shareholder Wolfgang Marguerre is the most suitable way to ensure that Dr. Jens Amail and his management team have the necessary entrepreneurial freedom and accountability to continue the company’s upswing.”

Therefore, the company plans to convene an Extraordinary Annual General Meeting in the short term to propose a resolution for a transition to the dualistic system to the shareholders.

“I look forward to working with the new Board of Directors chaired by Dr. Karl Benedikt Biesinger, and I support the transition to the dualistic system,” says Jens Amail, CEO of SNP. “I am very confident that the required shareholder majority will approve the proposal. This would then establish the required framework for clearly defined responsibilities.”

In the dualistic system, the company’s Executive Board is fully responsible for managing the company’s operations, while the Supervisory Board has monitoring and advisory functions.
