His decision is due to his departure from the Burda Group.

Stefan Winners initially worked as CEO of HolidayCheck Group AG (then trading under the name Tomorrow Focus AG) from 2005 to 2012 before moving to the Burda Group, the majority shareholder of the HolidayCheck Group, as a member of the Management Board at the beginning of 2013.

"I would like to express my great regret for this step and at the same time, on behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I would like to thank Mr Winners most sincerely for his excellent work and great commitment during his seven years as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. Stefan Winners played a key role in the transformation of today's HolidayCheck Group AG into a travel group," says Dr. Dirk Altenbeck, Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board of HolidayCheck Group AG.

"Stefan Winners has always supported the Management Board with a great deal of dedication and with advice and support.

On behalf of the entire Management Board and all employees, I would like to thank him most sincerely for his excellent cooperation and at the same time wish him all the best for the future", emphasized Georg Hesse, CEO of HolidayCheck Group AG.
