Hamburg, March 18, 2013 – Today,

Dr. Neil Sunderland informed the Executive Board of XING AG that he has decided to step down as Chairman of the company’s Supervisory Board of his own accord effective at the end of the Annual General Meeting on May 24. He will also be leaving the Supervisory Board entirely to devote himself to new projects.
 

Thomas Vollmoeller, CEO of XING AG commented: “Neil Sunderland deserves the thanks of the Executive Board and the staff of XING AG for his commitment and active support of our growth. We wish him all the best for the projects he plans to pursue in the future.” Sunderland was already a member of the advisory committee before the company went public and had held the position of Chairman of the Supervisory Board since the company was converted into XING AG in 2006. During this time, the company increased its turnover sevenfold and boosted membership figures from less than one million to roughly 13 million.

The nomination committee of XING AG’s Supervisory Board will convene at short notice to decide on how the supervisory body will be organized in the future. The company will submit an election proposal to the Annual General Meeting, when the agenda is presented.
