Restructuring of SOLON SE Management Board completed -
new directors appointed for the operations and sales divisions

Berlin, December 15, 2010. Dr. Martin Detje is to become the new
chief operating officer (COO) responsible for SOLON SE´s operations
division with effect from January 1, 2011. Dr. Detje (49), who holds
a doctorate in physics, started his career at Omicron Vakuumphysik
GmbH. He was initially located in Japan for several years, where he
set up a local service network before becoming product manager. In
2001, he joined Infineon Technologies AG (subsequently Qimonda AG),
where one of his roles was to establish an R&D center at the
company´s Dresden site. He then became head of operations and
projects at Qimonda Solar GmbH before heading up its research and
development department. Most recently, he was responsible for the
turnkey production lines business at global solar energy company Roth
und Rau AG. At the same time, he held the position of managing
director at its subsidiary Roth und Rau Ortner GmbH, which
specializes in production logistics and automation solutions for the
photovoltaics industry. Dr. Detje is married with two children.

SOLON's current COO, Dr. Gero Wiese, is to resign his directorship
and leave the company at the end of the year by mutual consent with
the Supervisory Board. He is currently in negotiations regarding an
executive role with a company in which SOLON SE holds a stake. The
Supervisory Board would like to thank Dr. Wiese for his dedication
and excellent service as a member of the SOLON SE Management Board,
particularly his professionalism during the establishment of our
production facilities and in the restructuring phase.

Having launched a marketing and sales campaign this year, SOLON SE´s
Supervisory Board has also decided to appoint a new Management Board
member with sole responsibility for sales. Andreas Amelang has been
recruited for the new role of chief sales officer (CSO), which he
will take up on April 1, 2011. Andreas Amelang (49) has a degree in
marine engineering, and his first position after graduating was as a
project engineer at the MTW Schiffswerft shipyard in Wismar, Germany.
He subsequently joined the Voith group of companies, where he was a
project planning engineer in its global ship propeller sales team. He
later became head of sales/project planning at Voith Turbo Marine
GmbH & Co. KG. In 2004, he joined the Aker Group in Germany as
marketing and sales director for shipyards. He returned to Voith in
2007, where his most recent position was vice president for Voith
radial propellers with responsibility for establishing a new division
for special ship propulsion systems. Andreas Amelang is married and
has one son.
