Embattled German landlord Adler Group suffered a new setback as Chairman Stefan Kirsten resigned, just weeks after a UK court rejected the indebted company’s €6 billion ($6.5 billion) turnaround plan.

Board member Stefan Brendgen will fill in as chairman, according to a statement on Monday and the company has arranged a call with analysts and investors at 2 p.m. Berlin time. Kirsten cited health reasons for his departure.
