Vonovia SE: Annual General Meeting Approves a Dividend of EUR 1.32 per Share
- Annual General Meeting approves a dividend of EUR 1.32 per share
- Vonovia once again offers a stock dividend
- Jürgen Fitschen and Vitus Eckert join the Supervisory Board
- Supervisory Board of Vonovia SE elects Jürgen Fitschen as its Chairman
Bochum, May 9, 2018 - Today's Annual General Meeting of Vonovia SE
("Vonovia") approved all resolutions proposed by the Supervisory Board and
Management Board with the necessary majority. The actions of the Management
Board (99.81 percent of votes) and the Supervisory Board (97.92 percent of
votes) were formally approved for the 2017 fiscal year.
The shareholders followed the proposal of the Supervisory Board and
Management Board to distribute a dividend of EUR 1.32 per share for the 2017
fiscal year, which represents an increase of EUR 0.20 on the previous year.
This year, the company is once again offering the option of a stock dividend
in addition to the traditional cash dividend.
"Vonovia generates long-term added value for its customers and shareholders
- and is going from strength to strength every year. The company seizes the
right opportunities to achieve permanent growth," explained Prof. Edgar
Ernst, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, speaking to some 280 shareholders
and guests in Bochum. As a result, 69.95 percent of the share capital was
represented.
As proposed by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board, the Annual
General Meeting also resolved to increase authorized capital to the extent
permitted by law. It is intended that this financial flexibility will enable
the company to continue benefiting from the favorable market environment
while quickly and comprehensively strengthening equity.
The Supervisory Board was reappointed by the Annual General Meeting, with
Jürgen Fitschen and Vitus Eckert joining the company's supervisory body for
the first time. The Supervisory Board's term of office ends with the 2023
Annual General Meeting. At its inaugural meeting, which was held immediately
after the Annual General Meeting, the new Supervisory Board of Vonovia SE
unanimously elected Jürgen Fitschen (69) as its Chairman. Prof. Edgar Ernst
was once again elected as Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board. The
committees formed by the Supervisory Board were also reconstituted.
Jürgen Fitschen: "I am relishing my new role. I firmly believe that Vonovia
will continue to grow successfully on the basis of the Management Board's
ideas and the determination of all the company's employees. Together with my
colleagues on the Supervisory Board, I am happy to provide the appropriate
guidance." Rolf Buch, CEO of Vonovia SE: "On behalf of the entire Management
Board, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to Prof. Edgar Ernst
for his work as Chairman of the Supervisory Board over the past few months.
This positive working relationship will continue in the future. I am looking
forward to working with Jürgen Fitschen. With his management expertise and
his keen political skills, he will be an outstanding asset to Vonovia."
Following an international career in which he held various senior management
positions at Deutsche Bank AG, Fitschen has been working as a Senior Advisor
for Deutsche Bank since June 2016. Jürgen Fitschen is Chairman of the
Supervisory Board of the retail company CECONOMY AG and an administrative
council for Kühne & Nagel International AG in Switzerland.
The Supervisory Board of Vonovia SE is comprised as follows: Jürgen Fitschen
(Chairman), Prof. Edgar Ernst (Deputy Chairman), Burkhard Ulrich Drescher,
Vitus Eckert, Dr. Florian Funck, Dr. Ute Geipel-Faber, Daniel Just,
Hildegard Müller, Prof. Klaus Rauscher, Dr. Ariane Reinhart, Clara-Christina
Streit and Christian Ulbrich.
