Coop Panga juht Margus Rink lahkub ametist

Teade

Kaheksa aastat Coop Panka juhtinud Margus Rink lahkub mai lõpus ametist. Rink on
olnud Coop Panga juhatuse esimees alates 2017. aastast.
Coop Panga nõukogu algatab uue juhatuse esimehe otsingu, et seejärel sõnastada
panga järgmise perioodi strateegia. Kuni uue juhi leidmiseni võtab juhatuse
esimehe kohustused üle praegune juhatuse liige ja riskijuht Heikko Mäe.
Juhatuses jätkavad ka finantsjuht Paavo Truu, ärikliendipanganduse juht Arko
Kurtmann ja erakliendipanganduse juht Karel Parve.

Nõukogu esimees Rainer Rohtla tänas Margus Rinki tema panuse eest Coop Panga
üles ehitamisel ja kiirele kasvule juhtimisel. "Margus on suure intensiivsuse ja
pühendumisega panustanud Coop Panka alates selle asutamisest 2017. aastal.
Kaheksa aastaga on pank saanud Marguse juhtimisel oluliseks turuosaliseks Eesti
pangandusturul, kasvatanud turuosa 1%-lt 6%-le, panga aktsiad on noteeritud
Tallinna börsil, oleme tõusnud klientide poolt enim soovitatud pangaks Eestis.
Oleme jõudmas 2026. aastal panga esimese strateegiaperioodi lõppu. Sellest
tulenevalt on õige, et järgmise perioodi strateegia paneb kokku juba uus juht,
kelle ülesandeks saab olema ka strateegia ellu viimine," märkis Rohtla.

Margus Rink märkis, et Coop Panga üles ehitamine on nõudnud suurt tööd aga
pakkunud samal ajal ka suurepäraseid emotsioone, "Tänan Coop Panka mulle antud
võimaluse eest. Kindlasti on see kaheksa aastat olnud minu senise töise elu
kõige võimsam sõit. Olen alati endale teadvustanud, et minu ajaaken Coop Panga
juhina on maksimaalselt kümme aastat ehk esimese strateegiaperioodi lõpuni. Pean
igati õigeks nõukogu soovi asuda otsima Coop Pangale uut juhti, kelle
eestvedamisel kujundada panga edasine strateegia ning viia see ellu," lausus
Rink.

Margus Rinki volitused juhatuse esimehena lõpevad 30. mail 2025. Samal ajal
lõpevad ka tema volitused Coop Pank AS tütarettevõtjate Coop Liising AS ja Coop
Kindlustusmaakler AS nõukogu liikmena. Kuni uue juhi ametisse nimetamiseni
täidab pangajuhi kohuseid riskijuht ja juhatuse liige Heikko Mäe.

Eesti kapitalil põhinev Coop Pank on üks viiest Eestis tegutsevast
universaalpangast. Pangal on 211 000 igapäevapanganduse klienti. Coop Pank
kasutab jaekaubanduse ja panganduse vahel tekkivat sünergiat ning toob

CEO of Coop Pank, Margus Rink, to step down at the end of May

Teade

After leading Coop Pank for eight years, CEO Margus Rink will step down at the
end of May. Rink has served as Chairman of the Management Board since 2017.

The Supervisory Board of Coop Pank will initiate the search for a new CEO, who
will then be responsible for defining the bank's strategic direction for the
next period. Until the new CEO is appointed, the current Management Board member
and Chief Risk Officer, Heikko Mäe, will assume the responsibilities of the
Chairman of the Management Board. Other members of the board-CFO Paavo Truu,
Head of Corporate Banking Arko Kurtmann, and Head of Retail Banking Karel
Parve-will continue in their current roles.

Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Rainer Rohtla, expressed gratitude to Margus
Rink for his significant role in building Coop Pank and leading its rapid
growth. "Margus has contributed to Coop Pank with great intensity and dedication
since its founding in 2017. Under his leadership, the bank has become a key
player in the Estonian banking market, increasing its market share from 1% to
6%, getting listed on the Tallinn Stock Exchange, and becoming the most
recommended bank among customers in Estonia. As we approach the end of our first
strategic period in 2026, it is the right time for a new leader to define and
implement the next phase of the bank's strategy," Rohtla noted.

Margus Rink commented that building Coop Pank has been both a demanding and
rewarding journey: "I am grateful to Coop Pank for the opportunity. These eight
years have undoubtedly been the most intense and fulfilling period of my
professional life. I have always been aware that my tenure as CEO was aligned
with the bank's first strategic phase, which we defined as a ten-year horizon. I
fully support the Supervisory Board's decision to begin the search for a new
CEO, who will shape and execute the strategy for the next chapter."

Margus Rink's term as Chairman of the Management Board will officially end on
May 30, 2025. His roles as a Supervisory Board member of Coop Pank's
subsidiaries Coop Liising AS and Coop Kindlustusmaakler AS will also conclude at
the same time. Until the appointment of a new CEO, the role will be temporarily
assumed by Heikko Mäe.

Coop Pank, a bank with Estonian capital, is one of the five universal banks
operating in Estonia. The bank serves 211,000 everyday banking clients. Coop
Pank leverages the synergy between retail and banking to bring financial
services closer to where people live. The bank's strategic owner is Coop Eesti,
a domestic retail chain with a network of 320 stores across the country.
