Mr Roelfs replaces Klaus Henschel, who has decided to stand down to pursue other opportunities after leading the Group to this stage and following the successful completion of the recent significant change in ownership. Mr Roelfs has been Chief Financial Officer of BIOPETROL INDUSTRIES AG since March 2010. His appointment as CEO takes place with immediate effect. Ernest Mostert, Chairman of BIOPETROL INDUSTRIES AG, said today: 'I would like to thank Klaus for the outstanding contribution he has made to the Group as CEO.

The Board respects his wish to now move on to other challenges.'
