JENA/Germany, 11.12.2009.
Dr. Christian Müller (42) is to be appointed as a new member of the Management Board and Chief Financial Officer of Carl Zeiss Meditec AG with effect from 15 December 2009. This was resolved by the Supervisory Board at its meeting yesterday. Dr. Müller shall succeed Bernd Hirsch, who left the company at his own request on 30 November 2009.

Müller, who has a PhD in Business Administration, began his career with the Carl Zeiss Group in 2002 in the area of auditing and risk management. Before that, Müller held a number of managerial positions within the Controlling departments of two large international corporations. From 2006 until the present day, Müller has been responsible for the Surgical Ophthalmology strategic business unit (SBU). During this time Müller has actively and successfully driven forward the expansion of this SBU and realised the integration of Acri.Tec. In his new role as a member of the Management Board and CFO of Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dr. Müller shall be responsible for the areas of finance, investor relations and IT. He shall continue, within the Management Board, to oversee the activities of the Surgical Ophthalmology SBU, the operative responsibility of which, however, will be delegated as of 1 February 2010
