Prof. Dr. Ernst Schadow resigned as member of the Board of Management of Celanese AG to enter into retirement as of October 21, 2002.

The Supervisory Board wishes Dr. Schadow well in his future. Dr. Andreas Pohlmann was appointed as a member of the Board of Management and as Director of Personnel, from October 22, 2002 until October 31, 2005. In addition to these duties, Mr. Pohlmann is also responsible for Performance Products – particularly Nutrinova – for Environmental, Health and Safety Affairs, as well as for innovation initiatives by the Board.
