Frankfurt, 26.03.2025 - The Supervisory Board of Branicks Group AG (Branicks), ISIN: DE000A1X3XX4, has decided to reduce the size of the Management Board of Branicks Group AG from four to three members and to make changes to the allocation of responsibilities within the Management Board.

The management of the Institutional Business of Branicks Group AG will be transferred to Christian Fritzsche. His previous responsibility for the Commercial Portfolio and the management of Branicks Onsite GmbH will be taken over by Sonja Wärntges as an additional area of responsibility. Torsten Doyen is leaving the Management Board of Branicks Group AG. Christian Fritzsche's Management Board contract will be extended until December 31, 2027.

“With our decisions to reallocate the business and reduce the size of the Management Board, we are streamlining the structures and decision-making processes at Management Board level and meeting the Group's strategic and operational objectives by further increasing its efficiency and effectiveness,” commented Dr. Angela Geerling, Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board of Branicks Group AG, on the decisions taken.

The Management Board of Branicks Group AG will therefore consist of three members in future: Sonja Wärntges, Johannes von Mutius and Christian Fritzsche.

Furthermore, the Management Board of Branicks Group AG has appointed Lukas Brunert as a member of the management of Branicks Onsite GmbH. Lukas Brunert is Sustainability Officer of Branicks Group AG and will be responsible in particular for ESG issues in the management of Onsite GmbH and will focus on the further development of the real estate portfolio. Last year, Branicks was already able to further increase the green building ratio in its own portfolio to 52.9% (previous year: 43.6%) and significantly increase the proportion of properties with sustainability certificates such as DGNB, LEED or BREEAM.
