Perlet was the CFO of Allianz for many years and was a member of the management board of Allianz SE until 2009. Henning Schulte-Noelle (69) will not stand for re-election to the supervisory board at the next shareholders’ meeting, having reached its age limit.
Furthermore, Christine Bosse (50), well known to the insurance industry, is expected to join the supervisory board as shareholder representative succeeding Gerhard Cromme (68) upon the expiration of his mandate at the 2012 Allianz general meeting. Due to personal reasons Christine Bosse will not be available for election at the annual general meeting 2012. Therefore, Gerhard Cromme has agreed to be at Allianz' disposal for a supervisory board mandate until the annual general meeting 2013 at the latest.
