Dr. Hakim Bouterfa, Executive Board member of Eckert & Ziegler AG and responsible for clinical development, will leave the Executive Board of Eckert & Ziegler AG at the end of the year and in future will concentrate exclusively on his tasks as Executive Board member of the Eckert & Ziegler subsidiary Pentixapharm AG (PTX). There he will be supported by Dr. Dirk Pleimes and Anna Steeger, who have been newly appointed to the Executive Board of Pentixapharm AG. Following the consolidation of all clinical activities of the Eckert & Ziegler Group within or below PTX in recent months and following the decision to split-off PTX from the Group, Eckert & Ziegler AG no longer requires the position for clinical development within the Executive Board.

The founder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Eckert & Ziegler AG, Dr. Andreas Eckert, will resign from the Supervisory Board in spring 2024 to also join the Executive Board of Pentixapharm AG. He will accompany the announced split-off.
