Dr Thomas Noth leaves Talanx Board by mutual agreement on the best of terms

After successful consolidation of IT the separate function of Chief Information Officer on the Group Board of Management is no longer necessary
Chief Executive Officer of Talanx AG, Herbert K. Haas, will take responsibility for the central function Information Technology in future

The Chief Information Officer of the Talanx Group, Dr Thomas Noth, will leave the Board of Management of Talanx AG by mutual agreement on the best of terms when his contract comes to an end on 31 May 2014. At his own request, he will also step down as Chief Executive Officer of Talanx Systeme AG. Dr Noth and the Supervisory Boards of both companies reached mutual agreement on these changes. At the same time, the Members of the Supervisory Boards would like to take this opportunity to express their thanks for his successful work at the Talanx Group.

Against the background of successful consolidation of domestic information technology within the Talanx Group, the Supervisory Board of Talanx AG believes that a separate CIO function is no longer necessary on the Board of Management of the holding company. In future, the Chief Executive Officer of Talanx AG, Herbert K. Haas, will be responsible for the central function Information Technology.

The responsibilities “Chair, Controlling and Transformation” currently borne by Dr Thomas Noth on the Management Board of Talanx Systeme AG will then be taken over by Jörn Stapelfeld until further notice and he will continue to bear responsibility for the “Operations and Claims” division on the Management Board of Talanx Deutschland AG.
