SAF-Holland SE is proposing changes to its Supervisory Board at the company’s next Annual General Meeting.
Ingrid Jägering, according to SAF-Holland, has decided to resign from the Supervisory Board at the meeting date which is 20 May 2025.
As a replacement, the Supervisory Board proposes to the company’s shareholders to elect Dagmar Rehm to the Supervisory Board.
Rehm has more than three decades of experience, particularly in the areas of accounting and controlling, finance and treasury, risk management, compliance and business development. In the event of her election by the AGM, Rehm will also succeed Jägering as Chairwoman of the Audit Committee of SAF-Holland SE.
“Ingrid Jägering has supported the company with exceptional expertise and knowledge over the last six years as Deputy Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board and as Chairwoman of the Audit Committee,” said SAF-Holland SE Supervisory Board Chairman, Dr Martin Kleinschmitt.
“On behalf of the Supervisory Board and the Management Board, we would like to thank her most sincerely for this,” he said.
“We wish Ingrid Jägering all the best for her personal and professional future.
“We are pleased to be able to propose Ms. Rehm to the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting for election to the Supervisory Board as an independent and highly competent successor.”
At the AGM, the Management Board and Supervisory Board of SAF-Holland SE will also propose expanding the Supervisory Board from five to six members.
The proposal is made in light of greater demands on the Supervisory Board in recent years, including the increased number of legal and regulatory requirements, as well as the Board undertaking more complex and extensive work.
The company’s Supervisory Board also proposes Mr. Hans-Werner Kaas as an additional candidate, for voting at the 20 May AGM.
Kaas holds a degree in industrial engineering and served as a Senior Partner at the management consultancy McKinsey & Company, Inc. in Frankfurt / Main, Germany as well as Cleveland and Detroit in the United States from 1991 to 2024. Since 2024, Mr. Kaas has served as Managing Partner of HWK Advisory LLC, which he founded.
“We are very pleased to have Mr Kaas as a candidate for our Supervisory Board,” said Dr. Martin Kleinschmitt.
“With his international background, experience in the North American industry and extensive know-how in the automotive and other manufacturing sectors, he is an ideal addition to our Board.”
