DATAGROUP Reorganizes Management Board and Top Management Structure for the
Next Stage of Growth

  * CFO Oliver Thome is leaving the company at his own request to take on
    another challenge

* CEO Andreas Baresel will take over his duties

  * The two existing Management Board members Andreas Baresel and Dr Sabine
    Laukemann will continue DATAGROUP's growth strategy

* The existing divisional board level will be expanded

Pliezhausen, April 25, 2024: DATAGROUP (WKN A0JC8S) is reorganizing its top
management structure for the next stage of growth. Oliver Thome, member of
the Management Board since October 2021 and responsible for Finance,
Investor Relations and M&A, will leave the company at his own request with
effect from April 30, 2024 to take on a new challenge. His responsibilities
will be taken over by CEO Andreas Baresel in future. The Management Board
will thus consist of Andreas Baresel and Dr Sabine Laukemann and will be
supported by an extended level of divisional board members in the future.
DATAGROUP is thus laying a robust and future-oriented foundation for
scalable further growth and innovation.

'We regret but respect Mr Thome's wish to leave our company. He has made a
valuable contribution to the further development of DATAGROUP SE during his
time at the head of the Finance, Merger & Acquisition and Investor Relations
departments. I would like to thank him for this on behalf of the Supervisory
Board. We wish Mr Thome all the best for his personal and professional
future', says Heinz Hilgert, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of DATAGROUP
SE.

As CEO and CFO, Andreas Baresel will be responsible for Finance, M&A and
Investor Relations as well as the service portfolio. Dr Sabine Laukemann
will be responsible for Organization, Legal, Human Resources, Corporate
Communications and ESG.

Based on a continued good order intake and strong demand for CORBOX
services, DATAGROUP expects a significant growth spurt in the medium term.
Moreover, the future drivers artificial intelligence, cyber security and
cloud are strongly changing the IT services market. In order to be optimally
positioned for this development and the related additional growth
opportunities, the two Management Board members Andreas Baresel and Dr
Sabine Laukemann will be supported by two divisional board members in the
future.

Mark Schäfer will take over responsibility for the Production division from
Andreas Baresel. He has been with DATAGROUP since 2019 and has many years of
experience in IT production and service provision at T-Systems
International, among others. Previously, he was Head of Group-wide IT
Service Management, the central IT GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) and
Chief Information Security Officer. As Divisional Board Member, he is now
responsible for Production, IT Service Management and IT GRC. He is
therefore also responsible for AI-based automation and further increasing
the productivity of IT service production.

Alexandra Mülders has been with DATAGROUP since 2010 as Managing Director of
one of the fastest-growing CORBOX units. She has been Head of Sales since
2023 and is responsible for DATAGROUP's organic growth with a special focus
on the full-service outsourcing product.

The implemented reorganization of the Management Board is the basis for
achieving the company's ambitious medium-term goals.
