Augsburg, May 16, 2012 – KUKA AG's Supervisory Board has extended Dr. Till Reuter's contract and has thus ensured continuity. Dr. Reuter's term as CEO will be lengthened to five years, until April 25, 2015. Dr. Reuter successfully led the company to a position of new strength over the course of the past few years.

The Supervisory Board appointed Peter G. Mohnen, Dipl.-Kfm., (43), as the new CFO of KUKA AG. Mr. Mohnen will be given a three-year contract and will begin on August 1, 2012. Peter G.
