Shareholders with a majority of 99.98% of the company’s share capital present at the AGM resolved, among other issues, to pay a dividend of €0.65 per share. This reflects an increase of €0.05 over the previous year’s level. As in past years, the dividend will be paid free of tax for shareholders living in Germany.
