transactions. In the next few years, we will benefit from his
expertise in the expansion of our digital business. I thank Ralf
Gierig for his extraordinary achievement; he has made a crucial
contribution to the successful growth of our "Digital &
Adjacent" segment. During his time as CFO Digital & Adjacent,
we extended our online and online games activities. We set a
strategic focus for our media investment business and built up an
attractive ventures portfolio. ProSiebenSat.1 Group is facing
important capital market related topics in 2013. Ralf Gierig with
