Annual Shareholders' Meeting resolves to distribute dividend of EURO 0.60
per share
- Gratifying attendance rate of 74.0%
- Shareholder-friendly dividend policy upheld
- Dr Joachim Girg succeeds Bernd Günther as Chairman of the Supervisory
Board
Salzbergen, Germany, 31 May 2012. H&R AG today held its Annual
Shareholders' Meeting at Hamburg's Congress Center. All of the items on the
agenda proposed by the management were passed with a large majority, which
exceeded 92% in each case.
Dividend remains high
A dividend of EURO 0.60 per share (2010: EURO 0.65) was agreed for the 2011
financial year. This equates to a dividend yield of 4.1% in relation to the
H&R share's closing price of EURO 14.73 in XETRA on 30 May 2012. H&R AG
therefore upheld its shareholder-friendly dividend policy in relation to
the past financial year.
Supervisory Board members elected with a large majority
Ms Anja Krusel, member of the management board of Microsoft Deutschland
GmbH, was elected as a new member of the Supervisory Board. The
shareholders also reelected Dr Joachim Girg, Mr Nils Hansen and Mr Volker
Woyke. The motions concerning the Supervisory Board elections were carried
with majorities of more than 99%.
At the end of the Annual Shareholders' Meeting, the Chairman of the
Supervisory Board, Bernd Günther, retired from the board after 16 years'
service. Both the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board thanked Mr
Günther for his excellent support and everything he achieved for the
company during his many years on the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory
Board resolved to name Mr Günther Honorary Chairman. This will enable it to
keep drawing on his expertise and outstanding business contacts in the
future and is also a way of honouring his work for H&R AG.
The new Supervisory Board immediately commenced its work with a
constitutive meeting following the Annual Shareholders' Meeting. Dr Joachim
Girg was elected as the Supervisory Board's new Chairman. The 47-year-old
has been a member of the board since September 2011. Previously, he had
management positions at Deutsche Bank and UniCredit. 'Thank you for placing
your trust in me. I look forward to supporting the company as it implements
its strategy - especially in stepping up its international presence,
boosting value added at the refineries and continuing to realign the
Plastics Division,' said Dr Joachim Girg.
