Dr. Klaus-Detlef Wulf leaves REpower Supervisory Board - AREVA Group targets seat on the Supervisory Board

Hamburg, 1 November 2005. On the evening of 31 October 2005, the former Chairman of the Supervisory Board of REpower Systems AG (WKN 617 703), Dr. Klaus-Detlef Wulf, announced he would be leaving the Supervisory Board of REpower Systems AG. As one of the largest shareholders, Dr. Wulf had previously been a shareholder representative on REpower Systems AG’s Supervisory Board. The sale of his block of shares is expected to enable the new majority shareholder, AREVA, to gain representation on the Supervisory Board. To this end, REpower will file for the legal appointment of an as yet unnamed representative of the AREVA Group to the Supervisory Board. The previous Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Udo Bandow, will initially assume chairmanship of the Supervisory Board.

Dr. Wulf had been Chairman of the Supervisory Board since April 2001. As a cofounder of the former investment company Denker & Wulf AG, he made a significant contribution to REpower’s corporate success.

“On behalf of the entire Supervisory Board, I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Wulf for his major commitment and the work he performed for the Company,” commented Udo Bandow. Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt, Chairman of the Management Board at REpower Systems AG, added: “The Management Board would also like to thank Dr. Wulf for his effective collaboration over the past years. His many years of experience in the wind energy sector meant he was constantly able to provide us with expert advice.”
