<div id="readability-page-1"><div><p>At its meeting held on December 17, 2025, the Supervisory Board of Continental AG appointed Christian Kötz (55) as new chairman of the Executive Board effective January 1, 2026. Nikolai Setzer (54) will step down from the Executive Board by mutual agreement on December 31, 2025, after more than 16 years as a board member and five years as CEO. This step comes as planned on the back of the significant progress made with Continental?s realignment and transformation into a pure-play tire company.</p><p>Following the spin-off of Aumovio and the signing of the agreement to sell the Original Equipment Solutions (OESL) business area, Continental?s transformation is well underway. Internal preparations for the sale of ContiTech, which is scheduled to take place in 2026, have also been largely completed. The market outreach phase has been concluded, and the structured sales process will begin in January 2026.</p><p>These milestones set the stage for the final step in Continental?s transformation. Christian Kötz has held various roles in Continental?s tire business since 1996. He has been a member of the Executive Board since 2019 and previously led key areas within the Tires group sector, including the replacement business for passenger-car tires (EMEA), the original-equipment and commercial-vehicle-tire business units, as well as global R&amp;D for passenger-car tires.</p><p>His many years of close and trusted collaboration with Nikolai Setzer will help ensure a seamless transition. Alongside Christian Kötz and Philip Nelles (51), who has been the head of the ContiTech group sector since 2021, Roland Welzbacher (56) has been a member of the Executive Board since August 2025 and has served as chief financial officer since October 1, 2025. Ulrike Hintze (49) joined the board as CHRO and director of labor relations on July 1, 2025.</p><p>As the Executive Board drives the tire business forward, it will complete the company?s realignment and, following the sale of ContiTech, integrate the remaining group functions with the tires organization.</p></div></div>
