Clearvise AG Appoints New CEO to Drive YieldCo Strategy Forward

In a significant leadership transition for the renewable energy sector, clearvise AG, a European producer of electricity from wind and solar power, has announced the appointment of Bernhard Gierke as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective February 1, 2026. He succeeds Petra Leue-Bahns, who will step down from the Management Board as planned at the end of her term on February 28, 2026, for personal reasons. Leue-Bahns, who has led the company for many years, is credited with building clearvise into an established European electricity producer with a diversified portfolio of investments in wind and solar parks across several countries, boasting a total installed capacity of approximately 388 megawatts. Her departure marks the end of an era characterized by strategic vision and strong implementation, as noted by Ingmar Helmke, Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

The appointment of Bernhard Gierke signals a firm commitment to clearvise's strategic evolution into a YieldCo, a model focused on generating stable operating cash flows and implementing a reliable long-term dividend policy to create additional value for shareholders. Gierke, an experienced manager with a background as a director at Aquila Capital and a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), brings extensive expertise in renewable energies, investment, and asset management. He is tasked with consistently advancing this YieldCo strategy, which was announced in November 2025, aiming to strengthen the company's position and enable shareholders to participate in its success through sustainable dividends. During a one-month transition phase, Gierke and Leue-Bahns will work closely to ensure a smooth handover, with Gierke set to lead as sole CEO thereafter.

This leadership change underscores clearvise AG's ongoing transformation and its focus on profitable operations and active dividend strategies as a YieldCo. The company, whose shares have been listed since 2011 and are traded on various German stock exchanges and via XETRA, views this appointment as positioning it well for future success. Key players include the Supervisory Board, led by Ingmar Helmke, who expressed confidence in Gierke's ability to lead the next phase. The core messages revolve around continuity, strategic development, and shareholder value, with hyperlinks such as those to NEWMEDIAWIRE and the company's website at www.clearvise.com highlighting the announcement's reach and investor information.
