Press Release
Hannover Re: Annual General Meeting adopts all proposed resolutions
Hannover, 7 May 2018: The Annual General Meeting of Hannover Re today
approved all proposed resolutions put to the vote by appropriate majorities.
In his address to the meeting Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Wallin took the
opportunity to look back once more on the 2017 financial year, which
Hannover Re - despite exceptionally heavy loss expenditure - closed with
highly satisfactory Group net income of EUR 958.6 million.
The Annual General Meeting approved the proposal of the Executive Board and
Supervisory Board to pay a dividend of EUR 5.00 per share for the 2017
financial year: as was already the case in the 2016 financial year, the
payout is composed of a regular dividend amounting to EUR 3.50 per share and
a special dividend of EUR 1.50 per share. The special dividend is to be seen
as a capital management measure in light of the fact that Hannover Re's
capitalisation continues to exceed its capital requirements. The company is
thus again distributing more than EUR 600 million to its shareholders.
The next Annual General Meeting of Hannover Re is scheduled for 8 May 2019
in Hannover.
Hannover Re, with gross premium of EUR 17.8 billion, is the third-largest
reinsurer in the world. It transacts all lines of property & casualty and
life & health reinsurance and is present on all continents with around 3,300
staff. Established in 1966, the Hannover Re Group today has a network of
more than 140 subsidiaries, branches and representative offices worldwide.
The Group's German business is written by the subsidiary E+S Rück. The
rating agencies most relevant to the insurance industry have awarded both
Hannover Re and E+S Rück outstanding financial strength ratings: Standard &
Poor's AA- "Very Strong" and A.M. Best A+ "Superior".
