Changes to the Management Board

13.03.2008

Dr. Wilhelm Sittenthaler is to join the Executive Board of Wacker
Chemie AG. A resolution to this effect was passed by the Supervisory
Board at its meeting today. Wilhelm Sittenthaler will become a member
of WACKER´s Executive Board on May 8, 2008. His contract lasts until
2013. Today´s appointment means that the Executive Board will
continue to have four members. At the same meeting, the Supervisory
Board extended Auguste Willems´ contract for another five years until
2013.

The new appointment is related to the fact that Dr. Peter-Alexander
Wacker, the current President & CEO, is leaving the Executive Board.
At the Annual Shareholder Meeting on May 8, 2008, he will step down
and stand as a candidate for the Supervisory Board that same day. His
successor as President & CEO will be Dr. Rudolf Staudigl, who has
been a member of the company´s Executive Board since 1995. Wacker
Chemie AG announced this change at its helm in December 2007.
