• Management transition to next phase in Imtech's development
  • Changes in Board of Management and Supervisory 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.
