René Fáber, Gerry Mackay

The Supervisory Board of Sartorius AG resolved at its meeting today to approve an early extension of the appointments of René Fáber as a member of the Executive Board and Head of the Bioprocess Solutions Division, as well as of Gerry Mackay as a member of the Executive Board and Head of the Lab Products & Services Division.

René Fáber (45) has been working for Sartorius since 2002 and has been an Executive Board member of Sartorius AG since January 2019. His appointment has now been extended by five years until December 31, 2026. Gerry Mackay (58) joined Sartorius in 2015 through the acquisition of BioOutsource and has been an Executive Board member of Sartorius AG also since January 2019. The Supervisory Board accepted Gerry Mackay’s request to extend his appointment only by two years until December 31, 2023, due to his private plans for the future.

In addition, the Supervisory Board of Sartorius AG approved the Executive Board’s recommendation to submit a proposal to the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting on March 26, 2021, to pay dividends for fiscal 2020 of 0.71 euros per preference share and 0.70 euros per ordinary share. Therefore, the total amount disbursed under this proposal would be 48.2 million euros. Prior-year dividends were 0.36 euros per preference share and 0.35 euros per ordinary share.
