On January 30, 2015, Mr. Thomas Bachmann, an executive officer of Bruker Corporation (“Bruker,” “we” or “us”) and President of the Bruker BioSpin Group since August 2013, submitted his resignation, effective as of July 2015, in order to pursue other interests.  Mr. Bachmann has informed us that he has accepted a position as president and CEO of the Eppendorf Group, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, and will commence service in that position no later than August 1, 2015.  Mr. Bachmann has been a member of the supervisory board of Eppendorf AG since 2013.

 

We have agreed with Mr. Bachmann that until the end of the second quarter of 2015, he will continue as Bruker BioSpin Group President to ensure management continuity and further execution of Bruker BioSpin Group initiatives.  We intend to initiate a search for a successor to Mr. Bachmann.
