DUESSELDORF/MUNICH (Reuters) – Puma Chief
Executive Bjoern Gulden is to take a seat on
Borussia Dortmund’s
supervisory board, a source familiar with the matter said, after the
sporting goods company’s acquisition of a stake in the German soccer
club.
Dortmund shareholders are to vote on the appointment of
Gulden at the club’s general meeting on Nov. 24, the source said on
Thursday. The move was flagged earlier by German publication Manager
Magazin Online.
Puma, which makes Dortmund’s jerseys, declined to comment
on the report, while the soccer club said that it would publish
documents related to its general meeting on its website at about 0700 GMT on Friday.
Puma, like fellow Dortmund sponsors Evonik and Signal
Iduna, bought shares in the club’s capital increase last month,
acquiring a 5 percent stake.
