professional career
Hanspeter Büchler, until recently CEO of
Switzerland's leading bookseller Thalia, will be joining Valora 
Retail with effect from January 1, 2009. In his new leadership role, 
he will be responsible for the further development and expansion of 
the press and books side of Valora Retail. Emphasis will be placed 
both on the significant potential synergies which Valora's existing 
outlet network can provide as well as on further expanding Valora's 
press and books operations.
The press and books market is of great strategic importance to 
Valora, as is also underscored by the Group's purchase of 19 outlets 
from Konrad Wittwer GmbH announced on November 19, 2008. Following 
that acquisition, Valora Retail's "k presse + buch" format will 
prominently present at major railway stations in all 16 German 
Federal states. The 190 outlets Valora Retail will now soon be 
operating in stations, airports, shopping centres, department stores 
and retail parks throughout Germany have secured it a leading 
position in the German market. Valora will also build up its press 
and book operations in Switzerland.
