成功着陆：莱尼重组计划成功实施；功成身退：Hans-JoachimZiems离任莱尼

线束世界讯——纽伦堡，2023年7月3日-在成功推动莱尼的财务复苏后，Hans-Joachim Ziems已于2023年6月30日辞去首席重组官(CRO)一职，并按计划离开公司。

作为首席财务官，Ziems和他的团队在过去几个月里做出了重要贡献，代表莱尼与债权人达成了重组计划，使公司恢复了财务稳定。与Stefan Pierer一起，莱尼将获得一个强大的战略合作伙伴，将大幅去杠杆化，并获得新的流动性。纽伦堡重组法院于2023年6月21日根据《德国企业稳定与重组法》确认了相应的重组计划。

“Hans-Joachim Ziems“作为重组专家享有极高的声誉，这是实至名归。莱尼监事会主席Klaus Rinnerberger表示:“正是由于他多年的经验和专业知识，莱尼才能从危机模式转向正常运营。”“公司将能够在未来几年继续恢复运营。” Rinnerberger补充说，他为公司做出了贡献。“我们为此感谢Ziems，并祝愿他在未来的岁月里一切顺利。”

Ziems于2023年1月10日担任了专门为他设立的CRO角色。自4月1日起，他同时担任执行局发言人。4月3日宣布的首席执行官候任人Klaus Rinnerberger将在获得合并控制许可后立即从监事会转到执行董事会。预计这将会在即日生效。

Wiring Wolrd News—Nuremberg, 3 July 2023 – Task fulfilled: Having successfully got Leoni’s financial recovery off the ground, Hans-Joachim Ziems has resigned from his office as Chief Restructuring Officer (CRO) effective on 30 June 2023 and has left the Company as planned.

As CRO, Ziems, together with his team, has made a crucial contribution over the past few months to agreeing a restructuring plan on Leoni’s behalf with its lenders that returns the Company to financial stability. With Stefan Pierer, Leoni receives a strong, strategic partner, will be substantially deleveraged and provided with fresh liquidity. The Nuremberg restructuring court confirmed the corresponding restructuring plan under the German Corporate Stabilisation and Restructuring Act (Unternehmensstabilisierungs- und restrukturierungsgesetz – ‘StaRUG’) on 21 June 2023.

“Hans-Joachim Ziems enjoys an excellent reputation as a restructuring expert, and deservedly so. It is thanks not least to his many years of experience and his expertise that Leoni can switch from crisis mode to normal operation,” Leoni’s Supervisory Board Chairman Klaus Rinnerberger said. “The Company will be able to continue its operational recovery in the years ahead.” He had served the Company with merit, Rinnerberger added. “We thank Mr Ziems for that and wish him all the best for the years ahead.”

Ziems had taken on the role of CRO, which was established specifically for him, on 10 January 2023. Since 1 April, he had simultaneously been the Speaker of the Executive Board.

CEO designate Klaus Rinnerberger – as announced on 3 April – moves from the Supervisory Board to the Executive Board as soon as merger control clearance has been obtained. This is expected to happen in a timely manner.
