to focus intensively on the acquisition of strategic partners and global
alliances. As a result he has expressed the wish to step down from his role of
CEO with immediate effect. Simultaneously the board member Willem Arent van
Oorde has been appointed CEO. He will perform this role in addition to his
current responsibilities of Sales, Marketing, Professional Services and Finance;
Investor Relations will also fall under his domain. Furthermore with immediate
effect the experienced software development expert Oliver Dehning has been
appointed to the Board. Oliver Dehning will formally take over the functions of
R&D and new media. The appointment of Oliver Dehning to this position is a
significant step for GEDYS and signals new impulses in the area of technological
