Overview

  • Rüdiger Grube confirmed he will step down as supervisory board chair by late July, coordinating a handover once Angela Titzrath’s successor is named.
  • MSC and the City of Hamburg requested that Grube postpone his planned early-July departure so he could oversee the leadership transition.
  • HHLA and Angela Titzrath agreed on her 2025 compensation package, which includes full salary, €1.1 million in bonuses and a €1.58 million severance payment.
  • A legal review is examining whether Grube’s ten concurrent supervisory mandates breach German stock corporation law, though past board resolutions are expected to remain valid.
  • The synchronized departures of both the CEO and supervisory chair underscore majority shareholder control over HHLA’s governance overhaul.
