KPS AG: 2016 Annual General Meeting recognises dynamic business performance
and resolves increase in dividend to EUR 0.30 per share and issue of "bonus
shares"
Unterföhring/Munich, 18 April 2016 - The Annual General Meeting of KPS AG
(ISIN: DE000A1A6V48), held in Munich on 15 April 2016, approved all
resolutions proposed by the management by a large majority. In addition to
a dividend payment of EUR 0.30 per share, it also resolved a capital
increase from the company's own funds in order to issue "bonus shares".
The shareholders of KPS AG's Annual General Meeting were very satisfied
with the results for the 2014/2015 financial year. The shareholders
approved the actions of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board and
followed all of the management's proposals with significant majorities. The
Annual General Meeting resolved almost unanimously to increase the dividend
to EUR 0.30 per share as compared to EUR 0.28 per share in the previous
year, as proposed by the management. Overall, EUR 10,166,927.70 of the net
profit for the 2014/2015 financial year in the amount of EUR 19,520,551.45
will be distributed to the shareholders of KPS AG today. In addition, the
Annual General Meeting approved an increase in the company's share capital
by way of converting capital reserves. As part of this measure, 3,401,100
new no-par-value registered shares will be issued, with each KPS
shareholder receiving one new share for every ten existing shares. No
contribution needs to be made by the shareholders in this context (bonus
shares). Overall, the share capital will then increase to EUR 37,412,100,
divided into 37,412,100 shares. Baker Tilly Roelfs AG
Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich, was elected as the auditor of the
annual and consolidated financial statements for the 2015/16 financial
year. 81.07 percent of KPS AG's share capital was represented at the Annual
General Meeting.
In his report, Executive Board member Dietmar Müller reviewed the business
performance in the past year and provided an outlook for KPS's future
development. "As shown by the high pace of growth in the 2014/2015
financial year, we have achieved an outstanding position in the focus
sectors of retail and the consumer goods industry and enjoy an excellent
level of utilisation of our consulting capacity that is well above the
industry average. Our corporate strategy focuses on further expansion of
digital transformation consulting and process optimisation," emphasised
Dietmar Müller.
KPS has made a successful start to the new financial year, recording
particularly strong momentum with new international projects in the first
