Annual general meeting of Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft
Uwe Bergheim new Chairman of the Supervisory Board
- Gert Purkert steps down from the Supervisory Board after almost ten years
- Shareholders exonerate Executive Board and Supervisory Board
- Dividend for 2017 financial year of EUR 0.22 per share
Haselünne/Hanover, May 3, 2018 - Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft, which
is listed on the regulated market (General Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock
Exchange (ISIN: DE0005201602), held its annual general meeting today in
Hanover. With effect from the end of the meeting, Chairman of the
Supervisory Board Gert Purkert stepped down from the board after almost ten
years at its helm. The annual general meeting appointed Uwe Bergheim as a
new member of the Supervisory Board, and at its subsequent meeting the
Supervisory Board appointed him to the position of Chairman, as planned.
Gert Purkert had this to say on stepping down: "During almost ten years as a
member and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Berentzen-Gruppe
Aktiengesellschaft, I had the privilege of accompanying the Group on its
journey to becoming a broad-based beverages group. I am convinced that the
Group has a very stable foundation and is excellently equipped to continue
on its successful trajectory. In Uwe Bergheim, Berentzen-Gruppe
Aktiengesellschaft has today gained an experienced and competent new
Chairman of the Supervisory Board." Mr. Bergheim currently works as a
self-employed business consultant in Düsseldorf. The 61-year old expert in
communications and business administration is also a member of the Board of
Governors of Zentrale zur Bekämpfung unlauteren Wettbewerbs Frankfurt am
Main e. V. ["Wettbewerbszentrale": Centre for Protection against Unfair
Competition]. Mr. Bergheim has previously held positions as CEO of
telecommunications provider E-Plus Mobilfunk GmbH & Co. KG as well as more
recently as CEO of textile maker FALKE KGaA.
"We would like to thank Gert Purkert very sincerely for the close and
intensive working relationship even in challenging times", said Ralf
Brühöfner, a member of the Executive Board of Berentzen-Gruppe
Aktiengesellschaft who worked with Mr. Purkert throughout his entire term.
Brühöfner's fellow Executive Board member, Oliver Schwegmann, added: "Gert
Purkert always represented the interests of all shareholders with a strong
level of expertise and outstanding dedication. Now we look forward to
working together with Uwe Bergheim."
The shareholders exonerated the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board at
the annual general meeting. They also passed a resolution to pay a dividend
of EUR 0.22 per share. Based on the current share price, this corresponds to
a return of roughly 2.8%. This means that approximately EUR 2.1 million will
be distributed to the shareholders in total. Arithmetically, this translates
to more than 80% of consolidated profit. The previous-year figure was around
50%.
35.5% of the share capital of Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft was
represented at the annual general meeting.
