Founders of Energiekontor AG secure long-term ownership of company shares by setting up foundations Bremen, 4 April 2025 – The two founders of Energiekontor AG („Energiekontor“), a leading German project developer and operator of wind and solar parks based in Bremen and listed in the General Standard, have each established their own foundations to ensure their holdings' continuity in the long term. Energiekontor AG's founders, Dr Bodo Wilkens and Günter Lammers, have each established their own foundations, which were able to commence their work at the beginning of 2025. The Wilkens Family Foundation, Darmstadt, Germany, is a private foundation dedicated primarily to the responsible management of the family's fortunes for the benefit of future generations. The Lammers Foundation, Hamburg, Germany, is a charitable foundation that is mainly concerned with environmental, climate and nature protection issues and promotes science and research. Dr Bodo Wilkens and Günter Lammers, who have accompanied the company for many years with their expertise on the Supervisory Board and as important anchor shareholders, each hold a direct stake of more than 25 percent in the company. These shareholding structures are to be preserved in the long term. The establishment of the foundations guarantees the transfer of the shares, which both founders continue to hold directly in the company, to the individual foundations in the event of a required estate settlement.
