New legal status: XING to become a European Company

Hamburg, 15 September, 2017 - Almost 14 years after the company was founded, XING, operator of the German-speaking world's leading network for professionals, has completed its transformation from having German legal status to European legal status. The dynamically growing company based in Hamburg currently has offices in Barcelona, Zurich, Munich, and Vienna. The Group's workforce of around 1,000 spans more than 40 nationalities.

XING CEO Thomas Vollmoeller: 'An essential component of our flourishing corporate identity and our success is that people from around 40 countries work together at XING every day. We consider ourselves to be a European company, and we have now underscored this sentiment with our successful conversion to a Societas Europaea. This will also make takeovers and establishing start-ups within the European Union much simpler - a clear advantage for our expansion strategy.'

The conversion to XING SE was decided during XING's Annual General Meeting on 16 May this year, and has now been formally completed with its entry in the commercial register. Responsibilities and the composition of Management and Supervisory Boards will remain unaffected by the new structure.
