AURELIUS AG: Press release for the 2013 annual general meeting
– All proposed resolutions adopted with large majorities
– Record dividend of EUR 4.10 per share (up 105 percent) and free shares to be issued at a ratio of 1:2
– New Supervisory Board elected
Munich, May 16, 2013 – All the resolutions proposed by the management were adopted by the shareholders represented (attendance: 51,28 percent of the share capital) with large majorities at the annual general meeting of AURELIUS AG shareholders (ISIN: DE000A0JK2A8), which was held in Munich today.
The annual general meeting adopted a resolution to raise the dividend to a record level of EUR 4.10 per share (up 105 percent from EUR 2.00 per share in 2011). The dividend comprises a basic dividend of EUR 1.80, up 20 percent on last year’s EUR 1.50, together with a special dividend increased to EUR 2.30 from EUR 0.50 last year. Thus, the total payout amounts to EUR 39.4 million after EUR 19.2 million last year. This sum will be disbursed to the shareholders of AURELIUS AG on Friday, May 17, 2013. The successful disposals completed during the 2012 fiscal year form the basis for the much higher special dividend payment.
Furthermore, the meeting adopted a resolution to increase the Company’s share capital by way of a capital increase from company funds (compliant with Section 207 and following, German Stock Corporation Act (AktG)) at a ratio of 1:2. The purpose of this move is to enhance the attractiveness and liquidity of the AURELIUS share. The Company’s share capital of EUR 9,600,000.00 is being increased by EUR 19,200,000.00 to EUR 28,800,000.00 by converting an amount of EUR 13,271,583.00 of the total additional paid-in capital shown in the statement of financial position at December 31, 2012, and converting the other retained earnings of EUR 5,928,417.00 shown in the statement of financial position at December 31, 2012. The move will triple the number of shares in issue, from 9.6 million to 28.8 million. Thus, every shareholder will receive two additional shares for every share held in the coming weeks, once the capital measure has been filed in the relevant Commercial Register.
In addition, a new Supervisory Board for the Company was elected at today’s annual general meeting. The meeting voted Dirk Roesing, Dr. Bernd Mühlfriedel and Holger Schulze into office and Dr. Thomas Hoch to act as alternate member. At its constitutive meeting, the Supervisory Board appointed Dirk Roesing as its Chairman and Dr. Bernd Mühlfriedel Deputy Chairman.
