Both have been appointed by court with immediate effect, and are intended to be duly elected by shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting. They succeed Klára Brachtlová and Christoph Mainusch, who previously resigned from the Supervisory Board following the completion of MFE-MEDIAFOREUROPE N.V.’s (“MFE”) voluntary takeover offer and the resulting change in majority shareholding

Simone Sole serves as Group Head of Finance and M&A at MFE in Milan. With over two decades of leadership in the media sector, he has been responsible for group-wide finance, M&A, corporate development, and investor relations, and has played a key role in driving sustainable growth at MFE. He has also served on the boards of leading media and communications companies, including EI Towers and Endemol N.V., bringing broad experience in corporate leadership, media strategy, and financial management.

Maria Kyriacou, Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board of ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE: "We are pleased to welcome Michael Eifler and Simone Sole to our Supervisory Board.
