CFO Tiina Tuomela will leave Uniper as of 31 March 2023

At an extraordinary meeting held today, the Supervisory Board of Uniper SE reached a mutual agreement with Tiina Tuomela, Chief Financial Officer, on the termination of her employment contract as well as the termination of her appointment as member of the Board of Management of Uniper SE, effective 31 March 2023. A decision on a successor will be made in due course by the newly formed Supervisory Board.

Sirpa-Helena Sormunen, General Counsel, and Risto Penttinen, Head of Strategy, Corporate Development & M&A, will also leave the company in the first quarter of 2023. In their function, Sormunen and Penttinen report to CEO Klaus-Dieter Maubach. Their successors will be announced in due course. Tuomela, Sormunen and Penttinen joined Uniper's Top Management in April 2021 from the previous majority shareholder Fortum.

Uniper CEO Klaus-Dieter Maubach says: "On behalf of the entire Board of Management, I would like to thank our CFO Tiina Tuomela for the excellent and always trusting cooperation in challenging times. The same applies to Sirpa-Helena Sormunen and Risto Penttinen whose great commitment helped to keep Uniper on track in these difficult times. The imminent resignation of our three colleagues who had joined Uniper's Top Management from Fortum in April 2021 is another logical consequence of the upcoming change of ownership at Uniper. Together, it is now important for us to organize an orderly transition in the first quarter of 2023."
