Annual General Meeting of Hornbach Holding: Vanessa Stützle elected as new Supervisory Board member

  • Change in Supervisory Board: Vanessa Stützle is newly elected to Supervisory Board and assumes position previously held by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens P. Wulfsberg
  • Dividend of Euro 2.40 approved
  • All proposals submitted by Supervisory Board and Board of Management accepted by majority of shareholders

Bornheim (Pfalz), Germany, July 8, 2022.

The Annual General Meeting of Hornbach Holding AG & Co. KGaA today elected Vanessa Stützle, currently Chief Digital Officer and a Member of the Management at the Douglas Group, as a new member of the Supervisory Board. She is assuming the position previously held by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jens P. Wulfsberg, who stood down from his position as a member of the Supervisory Board as of the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting on July 8, 2022 and who had himself been elected to the Supervisory Board of Hornbach Baumarkt AG at that company’s Annual General Meeting on July 7, 2022.

Vanessa Stützle has been Chief Digital Officer and a Member of the Management at the Douglas Group since May 2020 and is responsible for e-commerce, the partner program, omni-channel, CRM, retail media sales, performance marketing, and data strategy. A graduate in business administration, she previously held the role of Executive Vice President with responsibility for the online business and customer relationship management at the Douglas Group. From September 2022, she will move to become the new CEO at the Luqom Group, Europe’s leading e-commerce platform for lamps and lighting solutions. Given her longstanding activity as an e-commerce specialist, Vanessa Stützle can contribute far-reaching expertise in digitalization, a key area for the Hornbach Group.

The Supervisory Board of Hornbach Holding AG & Co. KGaA will in future therefore comprise the following members:

Dr. John Feldmann (Chairman) Former Executive Board member of BASF SE
Martin Hornbach (Deputy Chairman) Managing Partner of Corivus Gruppe GmbH
Simone Krah (Managing) President of MMM-Club e.V.
Simona Scarpaleggia Former Global CEO of EDGE Strategy AG
Vanessa Stützle Chief Digital Officer and Member of Management at the Douglas Group (until September 2022); CEO of the LUQOM Group (from September 2022)
Melanie Thomann-Bopp Commercial Director at Nolte Küchen GmbH & Co. KG and Express Küchen GmbH & Co. KG

All other proposals submitted by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board were also accepted by a majority of shareholders, including the distribution of a dividend of Euro 2.40 for the 2021/22 financial year (2020/21: Euro 2.00).
