   PALFINGER AG: Supervisory Board Appoints Maria Koller to the Executive
   Board as CHRO

   The former Executive Vice President Global HR at Jenoptik will take over
   HR and Legal Affairs on the PALFINGER AG Executive Board on January 8,
   2024. As a result, Maria Koller will be largely responsible for the focus
   and positioning of the company in an increasingly demanding job market.

   “Following many years of experience, Maria Koller knows how important
   well-trained employees are to a technology company. With her expertise, we
   are strengthening PALFINGER’s position as an attractive and
   future-oriented employer,” says Hubert Palfinger, Chairman of the
   Supervisory Board at PALFINGER AG. In a job market that is becoming
   increasingly demanding and competitive due to demographic change and
   digitalization, it is important to address potential employees very
   effectively while successfully retaining experts in the company. “Maria
   Koller is the ideal candidate for this task, based on experience gained in
   HR matters at Alcatel in Austria, Danaher in Great Britain and Germany, at
   Magna Europe and since 2017 in a central position at the listed technology
   group Jenoptik,” explains Palfinger. Among other things, Maria Koller will
   focus on employee development, training and further education, as well as
   change management. By joining PALFINGER’s executive board as CHRO (Chief
   Human Resources Officer), Maria Koller, in close cooperation with CEO
   Andreas Klauser, CFO Felix Strohbichler and COO Alexander Susanek, will
   drive forward the company's positioning as a future-oriented, attractive
   employer and contribute significantly to the implementation of Strategy
   2030.
    

   Maria Koller (51) studied business psychology at the University of Vienna
   and began her professional career as an HR expert at Alcatel in 1998.
   Following jobs in Austria, Germany and France and at various companies in
   the Danaher Group Europe, she worked from 2014 as Vice President HR Global
   Interiors at automotive supplier Magna. From 2017, Maria Koller was
   responsible for the entire HR department of the globally active high-tech
   group Jenoptik.

   “Our employees, their knowledge, skills and commitment are essential for
   PALFINGER’s success. With Maria Koller, who takes over the HR and Legal
   Affairs agendas on the executive board, we are underlining the central
   importance of HR for the company,” emphasizes Hubert Palfinger. “Gaining
   this expertise and experience for PALFINGER is a great advantage for the
   supervisory board and the company. I am pleased to welcome her as the new
   CHRO to the executive board of PALFINGER AG,” says Palfinger.
