Grammer AG Annual General Meeting resolves to pay a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share
Amberg, May 24, 2012 – At the Grammer AG Annual General Meeting yesterday, shareholders voted in favor of a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share for the 2011 fiscal year. Given the positive earnings situation, Grammer AG will thus pay out a dividend to shareholders for the first time since 2008. For the 11,214,624 total shares according dividend rights, the company will distribute roughly EUR 4.5 million, or nearly 35 percent of Grammer AG's retained earnings. 'The reinstatement of the dividend is a major step toward positioning Grammer on the capital market as an attractive dividend stock once more, and demonstrates the success of our strategy,' Hartmut Müller, CEO of Grammer AG, emphasized in his speech.
More than 44 percent of voting capital was represented at the Grammer AG Annual General Meeting. A decisive majority of shareholders voted to formally approve the work of the Executive and Supervisory Boards in fiscal year 2011. Moreover, the attending shareholders endorsed the appointment of Ms. Ingrid Hunger and Dr. Hans Liebler to the Grammer AG Supervisory Board. All other proposals were adopted by the Annual General Meeting with substantial majorities as well.
At the Annual General Meeting, the Supervisory Board bid goodbye to CFO Alois Ponnath, who will leave the company at the end of May 2012 after serving more than 10 years as a member of the Executive Board.
