PNE AG: General meeting of shareholders approves dividend

Cuxhaven, 30 May 2024 – The general meeting of shareholders of PNE AG took place today (30 May 2024) as an event with personal attendance in Cuxhaven. 

The shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favour of the use of the balance sheet profits and hence the proposal of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board to distribute a dividend of euro 0.04 and also a special dividend of euro 0.04 per eligible share. 

The proposal for a resolution to relieve the members of the Management Board Markus Lesser (CEO) and Harald Wilbert (CFO) as well as Jörg Klowat, who was the Company's Chief Financial Officer until 31 March 24, received unanimous approval from the shareholders. In addition, the shareholders decided with a clear majority to give formal approval of the actions of the Supervisory Board. There were no elections to the Supervisory Board in 2024.

The Annual General Meeting also overwhelmingly approved the compensation report.

Moreover, KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Bremen, was elected by a large majority as the new auditor for the 2024 financial year and as the consolidated auditor for the 2024 financial year.
