PRESS RELEASE – INSIDE INFORMATION
La Hulpe, Belgium – 6 October 2025, 7:00 a.m. CEST – Inside Information – Banqup Group SA, formerly Unifiedpost Group SA, (Euronext: BANQ) (Banqup, Company), a leading provider of integrated business communications solutions, today announced that Sofias BV, represented by Hans Leybaert, will step down from his role as Chairman of the Board of Directors with immediate effect. He will, however, continue to serve as a member of the Board, ensuring continuity and ongoing contribution to the company’s strategic journey.
This transition forms part of Banqup’s planned succession process to further strengthen its governance framework and ensure independent leadership at the Board level.
Hans Leybaert has served as Chairman since October 2024, providing continuity during a key phase of Banqup’s transformation and supporting the company in the execution of its strategic priorities.
Hans Leybaert commented: “When I accepted the role of Chairman, I always saw it as part of a broader journey for Banqup. The time is now right for an independent Board member to assume this role and build on the strong foundations we have put in place. I remain fully confident in our management team and governance structures to steer the company into the future, and I look forward to continuing my work as a Board member to support Banqup’s long-term growth.”
The Board is in the process of finalising the appointment of a new independent Chair and will provide an update in due course.
Nicolas de Beco, CEO of Banqup Group, commented: “On behalf of the company, I would like to thank Hans Leybaert for his leadership and commitment as Chairman. His vision and guidance have been instrumental in positioning Banqup for long-term success. We are pleased that he will remain closely involved as a Board member, contributing his deep knowledge and experience as we continue to grow Banqup into Europe’s leading SaaS platform for e-invoicing and digital business solutions.”
