Board Royal Imtech N.V.
Royal Imtech N.V.
("Imtech") announces that Gerard van de Aast, CEO, has decided to
retire from the Board of Management effective December 31, 2015. He
will be succeeded by Paul van Gelder, currently member of the
management board.
Further Hans Turkesteen, CFO has
decided that with the new financial and Governance, Risk and
Compliance structures in place, he will consider other business
opportunities in due course and will leave the company as of April
1, 2016, after publication of 2015 results.
In 2013 and 2014 the focus has
been on compliance issues and financial restructuring. In 2015
focus is on restoring operational performance and the company
expects to deliver positive operational EBITDA results in 2015. In
2016 and beyond focus will be on delivering healthy growth and
further operational improvement. This development triggers a
natural moment for transition of management in 2016.
Today's announcements are the
result of a process by the Boards of Imtech in which continuity and
future of the company and an orderly transition of leadership have
been considered. The current Board of Management will deliver 2015
and a renewed team will be ready to take the helm in 2016.
Mr. Kees van Lede, retiring Chairman of the
Supervisory Board: "We respect and accept the decision of Gerard
and Hans. They are leading Imtech during an exceptional and intense
time in the company's history and we value their accomplishments in
stabilizing and strengthening the company enormously. Their early
announcement ensures a thorough and smooth transition. We are
pleased that with Paul van Gelder we can appoint the next
generation of leadership from within the company. We welcome that
Gerard is willing to continue his contribution to the company as a
member of the Supervisory Board."
Paul van Gelder is member of the
Board of Management Imtech since September 2013 and will be
appointed as CEO effective January 1, 2016. He currently holds
responsibility for the Marine and Traffic & Infra divisions and
for Imtech Nordic and Spain. Prior to Imtech Paul van Gelder was
CEO of Gasunie N.V.
The company aims to keep the Board
of Management at four members. Next to Paul van Gelder and Felix
Colsman a new CFO and new Board member will be appointed to achieve
this.
