SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Announces Change on the Executive Board

Kahl am Main, October 21, 2026

SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES has achieved a number of significant milestones in recent months. The company has made very positive progress operationally, financially, and strategically. With the conditions now in place, SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES will take the next step in its strategic direction and strive for new business successes.

Mr. Markus Ehret has led the company as a member of the Executive Board for over 16 years and has contributed significantly to its current success. Under his leadership, SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES has successfully evolved from a specialized manufacturer of production equipment for optical storage media (i.e., CD, DVD, Blu-ray) into a leading technology company in the field of surface treatment and surface structuring in the solar, semiconductor, and life sciences markets. Over the past 16 years, the company has had to weather economically challenging times, further develop its core competencies in line with its overall strategy, and finally initiate its economic turnaround this year. In the current year, the company's long-term financing has been placed on a new footing.

Following the successful completion of the transformation, the refinancing, and the change in the shareholder structure, Mr. Ehret and the Supervisory Board now see this as an opportune time to usher in the next phase of the company's development in the coming years through a leadership transition. The company is poised to initiate a generational transition on the Executive Board, and Mr. Ehret wishes to focus on new entrepreneurial endeavors. Against this backdrop, the Supervisory Board has decided, in full agreement with Mr. Ehret, to terminate his employment contract and his appointment to the Executive Board at the end of the year.

Dr. Changfeng Tu, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG: "The Supervisory Board expressly thanks Mr. Ehret for his outstanding entrepreneurial achievements in recent years, his extraordinary personal commitment, and the trusting cooperation he has demonstrated at all times. Mr. Ehret played a key role in steering SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES toward a stable and extremely promising future."

Mr. Ehret will remain available to the company during the transition period as his responsibilities are handed over to a suitable successor.
