ATOSS Software AG: Dividend payment of EUR 3.62 per share approved
26.04.2013 / 13:17
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Munich, 26.04.2013 - Shareholders at today's annual general meeting of
ATOSS Software AG approved all of the proposals put forward by the
management. The combined dividend and surplus amounting to EUR 3.62 will be
paid out on April 29, 2013.
In 2003 ATOSS announced a dividend policy under which company shareholders
are awarded a substantial stake in the company's success. Since then around
50 percent of the company's earnings per share have been distributed as a
dividend. In continuation of this procedure, the dividend for financial
year 2012, which was today approved by a large majority, amounted to EUR
0.72 per share. In addition, a special distribution of EUR 2.90 per share
was also approved.
Based on the closing price of ATOSS shares at the end of 2012, the dividend
yield stands at 17.2 percent (previous year: 4.3 percent). The cumulative
amount paid out to shareholders over the past eleven years including some
special payments adds up to EUR 14.79 per share. In addition to substantial
growth in the ATOSS share price - well above the development in comparative
indices - the annual dividend payments underscore the attraction of a
long-term investment in ATOSS Software AG. Even after the payment to
shareholders, ATOSS continues to have considerable liquidity at its
disposal in the amount of around EUR 10 million as well as strong equity.
Shareholders also by a large majority endorsed the remaining items on the
agenda, including the formal discharge of the Management and Supervisory
Board members, election of auditors, acquisition and use of treasury stock,
new elections to the Supervisory Board and amendments to the articles of
association.
The outlook for the company's continuing development in financial year 2013
remains positive. The Management Board once again expects to see an
increase in sales with an EBIT margin in excess of 20 percent.
