• Roth & Rau strengthens its finance team
• Carsten Bovenschen to be new CFO

Hohenstein-Ernstthal, 8 May 2007 – As already announced upon its IPO, Roth
& Rau AG has taken measures to strengthen its finance team. The Supervisory
Board has appointed Carsten Bovenschen to be a member of the Management
Board of the company with effect from 15 May 2007. Bovenschen will occupy
the previously vacant position of CFO and will be responsible for finance,
controlling, materials management, human resources and IT. Carsten
Bovenschen, most recently Head of Group Finance at Coveright Surfaces
Holding GmbH, Düsseldorf, will contribute more than 10 years of experience
in financial management and administration. His previous role as Finance
Director at WEDECO AG, Düsseldorf, provided him with experience of working
with the capital markets. Since graduating from RWTH Aachen University with
a degree in business administration in 1994, he has occupied various
management positions in accounting and controlling departments, in most
cases at groups with international activities. Bovenschen commented that he
is 'looking forward to supporting the further growth of Roth and Rau.' Dr.
Dietmar Roth, CEO, added that with Carsten Bovenschen 'we are pleased to
have found a man with competence in all matters relating to finance and the
capital markets. The strategic realignment of the management board
divisions will enable us in particular to do justice to the strong growth
achieved by Roth & Rau AG and to its stock market listing'.
