AURELIUS Management Board proposes a dividend of EUR4.10 per share for
financial year 2012
105 percent increase in the distribution of dividends to a total of EUR39.4
million after the most successful financial year in the company's history
Munich, March 7, 2013 - The Management Board of Munich-based AURELIUS AG
(ISIN DE000A0JK2A8) will recommend to the Supervisory Board that a dividend
distributon of EUR4.10 per share from AURELIUS AG's net profits,
representing an increase of 105 percent (previous year: EUR2.00), be
proposed to the annual shareholders' meeting to be held on May 16, 2013.
The dividend comprises a 20 percent higher base dividend of EUR1.80
(previous year: EUR1.50) and a 360 percent higher special distribution of
EUR2.30 (previous year: EUR0.50). Thus, a total of EUR39.4 million will be
distributed (previous year: EUR19.2 million). The reason behind the
significantly higher special distribution is the successful sale of
Schabmüller GmbH and Consinto GmbH in financial year 2012.
The sale of the electric motor manufacturer Schabmüller was the largest
sale of a company in the history of AURELIUS. The proceeds from the sales
are the key reason that AURELIUS had a record level of EUR244.7 million in
cash at its disposal as of the end of financial year 2012 (December 31,
2011: EUR154.4 million) according to preliminary figures.
