HHLA's Annual General Meeting Approves Unchanged High Dividend
Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) is distributing high dividends for
2012 on a par with the previous financial year. The Annual General Meeting
held at CCH Congress Center Hamburg adopted the proposal of the Executive
Board and Supervisory Board to pay out an earnings-based dividend of EUR
0.65 per dividend-entitled Class A share for the Port Logistics subgroup.
Around 1,000 shareholders and guests attended the Annual General Meeting of
Hamburger Hafen und Logistik AG (HHLA) on 13 June 2013 at CCH Congress
Center Hamburg. This represented 81 percent of the share capital (previous
year: 83 percent).
Klaus-Dieter Peters, CEO of HHLA, highlighted the positive result of the
2012 financial year in his speech: 'Despite a weak economy and a
challenging market environment, we have expanded our position in our core
European markets. At the same time, we took important steps last year to
ensure the future growth of our company. One major component was the
restructuring of our hinterland rail transport. We continued to achieve a
double-digit EBIT margin and increased the value of the company on this
basis.'
The proposal made by HHLA's Executive Board and Supervisory Board to pay
out an earnings-based dividend of EUR 0.65 per dividend-entitled Class A
share for the Port Logistics subgroup for the 2012 financial year was
approved by the shareholders present. The dividend amount is the same as in
the previous year. The pay-out ratio increased by 14.3 percentage points
year-on-year and amounts to 68.4 percent of net profit after minority
interests of the Port Logistics subgroup for the year. HHLA is therefore
distributing a total of EUR 45.5 million to its shareholders, exactly the
same amount as in the previous year. The Annual General Meeting also passed
a resolution to pay EUR 1.20 per Class S share for the unlisted Real Estate
subgroup - a total of EUR 3.25 million or 20 percent more than in the
previous year.
The Annual General Meeting approved all further proposals made by the
Supervisory Board and Executive Board with majorities of more than 99
percent.
The voting results of the Annual General Meeting, as well as the German
version of the speech by the CEO, Klaus-Dieter Peters, and the accompanying
presentation are available on the HHLA website in the Investor Relations
section under Annual General Meeting
