METZINGEN, GERMANY--(Marketwire - March 18, 2008) -
Press Release
Change regarding the Chairman of the Supervisory Board
of HUGO BOSS AG
Metzingen, March 18, 2008. Dr. Giuseppe Vita, who has been Chairman
of the Supervisory Board of HUGO BOSS AG since 2000, has informed the
company today that he intends to step down from office with effect as
of 30 June 2008.
Dr. Vita commented as follows: "Because of other engagements I had
planned for quite some time to step down from office. However, for
purposes of continuity for the company, I was asked first by
Valentino Fashion Group and then by Permira, as the respective
majority shareholders, to remain in office during the phase of change
to the new majority shareholder and to preside over the shareholders
meeting on May 8, 2008. I have happily complied with this request.
Stepping down as of June 30, 2008 would give sufficient time to find
the right successor for the office of the Chairman of the Supervisory
Board of HUGO BOSS AG."
