Ad hoc press release

Change of presidency on the Board of Directors of the Goldbach Group

Küsnacht-Zürich, 5 March 2013. On 30 April 2013 the Board of
Directors of Goldbach Group AG will propose Jens Alders to
the General Meeting for appointment as the new President of the
Board. As planned, Bruno Widmer is to hand over the reins after
presiding over the Board of Directors of Goldbach Group AG for
six years.

"It was agreed from the outset that my tenure as President would
last six years. I am now stepping down at the right time for
both the company and myself", notes Bruno Widmer (1941). "The
Goldbach Group is in excellent shape and enjoys a high standing.
Led by a highly capable and visionary group management team,
it boasts a robust balance sheet and consistently reports good
figures", the outgoing President of the Board of Directors continued.

Jens Alder (1957) is now set to follow in Bruno Widmer's wake. Jens
Alder holds a degree in electrical engineering from the
Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) in Zurich. In 1986 he
graduated from INSEAD in Fontainebleau as a Master of Business
Administration (MBA). Jens Alder has played an influential role
at various companies. In 1999 he was appointed CEO of
Swisscom. From 2006 to 2008 he was CEO of TDC, Denmark's largest
telephone company. He currently sits on various boards of directors
and is president of the boards of Sanitas Krankenversicherung and
Industrielle Werke Basel (IWB). "Jens Alder is an established
business personality with a profound knowledge of the
telecommunications industry. He has proven his ability to develop a
company along successful lines. We are convinced that he is the right
person to ensure Goldbach Group AG's lasting success on a
strategic level", declares Bruno Widmer.

In his capacity as Vice-President, Beat Curti paid tribute to the
departing President's accomplishments: "We thank Bruno Widmer for
his achievements, his enthusiasm and his commitment as President
of the Board of Directors. His expertise and knowledge as one of
the leading figures in advertising over the past 30 years, both in
Switzerland and internationally, has been crucial in shaping our
strategy and our success."
