The CEE Group, a Hamburg-based asset manager specializing in renewable energies, is reorganizing its
management team as part of its successful growth strategy. Franjo Salic will take on the position of Chief
Investment Officer (CIO) in addition to his previous role as Head of M&A. Frank Grafe, who was previously CIO, is
moving to the newly created position of Chief Development Officer (CDO) and will focus on driving forward the
CEE Group's rapidly growing and strategically increasingly important development and repowering business.
Both long-standing executives will thus remain part of the new Management Board and offer institutional
investors the best possible combination of stability and market experience.

In his new position, Franjo Salic is responsible for the areas of investment and asset management. He has been
with the CEE Group since 2013 and has held various positions during this time, most recently as Head of M&A
from 2023 and as part of the Management Board since November 2024. His achievements include the
international expansion and diversification of the CEE Group's portfolio through the acquisition of assets in
European markets such as France, the Netherlands, Spain and Scandinavia.

Franjo Salic can look back on more than 15 years of experience in the project and financing business. Before
joining the CEE Group, he worked in banking. Trained as a banker, he also holds Bachelor's degrees in Accounting
& Finance and Business Administration and a Master's degree in Management & Controlling from German and
British universities.

"I am very pleased about the trust placed in me - and look forward to the tasks ahead. We have ambitious
plans at home and abroad on behalf of our institutional investors. What sets us apart as the CEE Group is our
well-established team with its wealth of experience," adds Franjo Salic, CIO of the CEE Group.

The CEE Group recently took the next strategic growth step and announced an ambitious institutional
repowering project. As part of the new fund, which is expected to be worth over one billion euros, at least
around 30 existing wind and solar parks in Germany will be renewed, which will almost triple green electricity
production and secure attractive ongoing returns for existing investors. In addition to this focus on repowering,
the CEE Group is also increasingly addressing the issue of hybridization, i.e. the coupling of different renewable
energy sources and / or storage media at the same location with the same grid access.
