Resolution passed at the annual general meeting to
rename the European space and technology group OHB AG
- New Group structure and logo presented
- Supervisory Board elected for a further five years
- Dividend of EUR 0.30 per share approved
Bremen, May 12, 2011 - The European space and technology group OHB
Technology AG (Prime Standard, ISIN: DE0005936124) has reorganized its
corporate structure. At today's annual general meeting, the shareholders
passed a resolution to rename the holding company OHB AG. At the meeting,
OHB AG's restructured business units were presented to the shareholders.
Explaining these measures, Marco R. Fuchs, CEO of OHB AG, said: 'The
decision to rename OHB Technology AG OHB AG marks a step towards
strengthening the Group's identity and cohesion both on the inside and the
outside. By stressing the traditional OHB name, we want to underscore our
Group's momentum as well as its status as one of the leading space and
technology companies in Europe. At the same time, the new name will convey
the unique aspects of the Group's business and the virtues of an enterprise
able to look back on a history of almost 30 years in which we have achieved
so much success. The new logo embodies this idea very succinctly.'
At the beginning of 2011, the new OHB AG replaced the former five business
units with only two. The new structure reflects the strategy of integrating
the individual subsidiaries more effectively in order to harness
synergistic benefits, to pool related areas more efficiently and to
allocate functions and tasks to the individual business units more
appropriately.
The following changes have been implemented in 2011:
The previous business units 'Space Systems + Security', 'Payloads +
Science' and 'Space International' have been integrated within the new
business unit 'Space Systems'. This business unit is focusing on developing
and executing space projects.
The previous business units 'Space Transportation + Aerospace Structures'
and 'Telematics + Satellite Operations' have been merged within the new
business unit 'Aerospace + Industrial Products', which is chiefly
responsible for fabricating aviation/aerospace products as well as
telematics.
Election of the Supervisory Board:
A further item on the agenda at today's annual general meeting concerned
the re-election of the members of the Supervisory Board as their term of
office expired at the conclusion of the annual general meeting. The
following persons were elected to OHB AG's Supervisory Board for a term of
office expiring at the annual general meeting in 2015:
1. Mrs. Christa Fuchs,
Managing shareholder of Volpaia Beteiligungs-GmbH, Bremen
2. Prof. Dr. Hans Josef Rath
Professor at the University of Bremen and managing director of ZARM
Fallturm-Betriebsgesellschaft mbH, Bremen
3. Prof. Heinz Stoewer,
Managing director of Space Associates GmbH, St Augustin
The shareholders approved a resolution authorizing the Company to pay a
dividend of EUR 0.30 per share:
The shareholders of OHB AG will be receiving a dividend of EUR 0.30 per
share for 2010 (previous year EUR 0.25) in accordance with a proposal
submitted by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board and approved by
the shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company, which has
been listed for 10 years.
