Press release on the Annual General Meeting 2014
Venue: Hotel Hilton München Park, Am Tucherpark 7, 80538 Munich
Munich, May 8, 2014 - LUDWIG BECK AG (ISIN DE 0005199905) held its Annual
General Meeting on May 8, 2014, attended by more than 500 shareholders and
shareholders' representatives, who represented approximately 80% of the
share capital and thus just under 3 million votes. All agenda items were
approved by overwhelming majority votes.
Once again, the Executive Board reviewed the year 2013, in which the LUDWIG
BECK Group not only outperformed the branch average anew, but also exceeded
its own previous year's gross sales on a like-for-like basis in the amount
of EUR 101.6m reaching EUR 102.1m. Earnings amounting to EUR 10.8m
(previous year: EUR 12.1m) were in line with expectations.
LUDWIG BECK Executive Board member Dieter Münch: "2013 proved to be a year
of stability and continuity. We made use of our in-house potentials and
kept our results at a very high level. Our motto for 2014: healthy, onward,
growing."
Having said this, LUDWIG BECK's management expects the Group will reach a
gain in sales in the middle one digit percentage area and earnings at the
level of the previous year.
Regarding agenda items:
The Annual General Meeting approved the proposal of the Executive Board and
the Supervisory Board on the appropriation of the balance sheet profit of
LUDWIG BECK AG in the amount of approximately EUR 2.9m: Shareholders will
receive a dividend per share in the amount of EUR 0.50. The distribution of
approximately EUR 1.8m for 3,695,000 dividend-bearing shares was approved
by a 99.75% majority vote.
The Annual General Meeting granted discharge of liabilities to Executive
Board and Supervisory Board and approved the other agenda items by a very
large majority. BTU Treuhand GmbH, Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich,
was, again, appointed as auditor for the fiscal year 2014.
Detailed voting results for individual agenda items:

Affirmative votes: 2,934,848, negative votes: 7,401, abstention votes: 0.
The management's proposal for the appropriation of the balance sheet profit
