   Change of CFO at Semperit: Richard Kelsey to succeed Helmut Sorger as of
   November 1

    

   Vienna, 22 October 2026 – The Supervisory Board of Semperit AG Holding has
   appointed Richard Kelsey as a member of the Executive Board, effective
   November 1, 2026. Richard Kelsey will assume the position of Chief
   Financial Officer (CFO) and succeed Helmut Sorger, who, after more than
   four successful years, will leave the company by mutual agreement at the
   end of October 2026 to pursue new professional opportunities.

   “With Richard Kelsey, we have gained a CFO who combines extensive M&A
   expertise with in-depth knowledge of the capital markets. Together with
   Manfred Stanek and Gerfried Eder, our Executive Board is exceptionally
   well-positioned to successfully shape Semperit’s next phase of growth. Our
   shared goal is to further strengthen the company’s position and thus
   create additional long-term value for our shareholders,” says Supervisory
   Board Chairman Cord Prinzhorn.

   Richard Kelsey has more than 25 years of international experience in
   finance, M&A and capital markets. At Constantia Flexibles, a leading
   provider of flexible packaging solutions, he held various management
   positions and most recently served as CFO for more than five years. In
   this position, he was responsible for numerous international transactions
   and transformation projects. Prior to that, he was Head of M&A, leading
   the group’s acquisition activities. He gained further expertise in
   transactions and capital markets at Raiffeisen Investment, where he
   managed cross-border M&A projects in Central and Eastern Europe, as well
   as during his time as an equity analyst at Cazenove in London. His term on
   the Semperit Executive Board will run until 31 October 2029.

   Cord Prinzhorn thanks Helmut Sorger for their successful collaboration and
   his significant contribution to the development of the Semperit Group:
   “Helmut Sorger has played a decisive role in driving and shaping
   Semperit’s transformation and successful realignment. In addition to
   refining the strategic direction and investment story, his focus on lean
   structures, cost discipline and value creation has sustainably
   strengthened the Group’s profitability and competitiveness. The boost in
   profitability in the current 2026 financial year reflects this course.
   Semperit is clearly positioned in strategic terms and very well equipped
   for the next phase of growth. For this, Helmut deserves the thanks and
   recognition of the entire Supervisory Board.”
