Personnel changes in the Executive Board of H&R Aktiengesellschaft

Salzbergen, 23/08/2013. The Supervisory Board of H&R Aktiengesellschaft
reports that Mr Luis Rauch, Chief Financial Officer of H&R
Aktiengesellschaft, will be leaving the Executive Board of H&R
Aktiengesellschaft effective 31 August 2013 by mutual agreement with the
Company.

This personnel change in the Board takes place in connection with the
orientation of H&R Aktiengesellschaft to the modified business model for
the Salzbergen Refinery, which will in future - as reported in the ad-hoc
statement of 25/04/2013 and the press release of 26/04/2013 - substantially
rely on contract production. Mr Rauch will continue to collaborate with H&R

business.

The new CFO of H&R Aktiengesellschaft is Mr Wolfgang Hartwig (43).
Initially acting below Executive Board level, Mr Hartwig will at first
report directly to the Chairman, Mr Niels H. Hansen. Together with Mr
Alexander Reinsch (39), since 1 August 2013, Mr Hartwig has been
responsible for developing H&R Group Services GmbH. Mr Hartwig was
previously CFO of Minimax Viking GmbH, Bad Oldesloe.
