appointment of new Supervisory Board members

* Total dividend of EUR 7.20 per share approved

  * Chief Executive Officer Jean-Jacques Henchoz confident of further

Hannover, 6 May 2024: The Annual General Meeting of Hannover Rück SE
approved all proposed resolutions.

In his address Chief Executive Officer Jean-Jacques Henchoz looked back on
the successful financial years of the past strategy cycle. He highlighted
how reliably Hannover Re delivered on its promises in the years from 2021 to
2023 in the face of numerous challenges. These are successes that Hannover
Re will build on.

Guided by the three beacons of "Focus, Grow, Accelerate", Hannover Re will
concentrate on its existing strengths and intact growth drivers. Promising
partnerships and in-house initiatives will contribute additional profitable
growth. Looking to the current three-year strategy cycle, Henchoz held out
the prospect of further earnings growth.

The Annual General Meeting approved the proposal of the Executive Board and
Supervisory Board to pay a total dividend of EUR 7.20 (previous year: EUR
6.00) per share for the 2023 financial year, an increase of 20% compared to
the previous year. The payout consists of an ordinary dividend of EUR 6.00
(previous year: EUR 5.00) per share and a special dividend of EUR 1.20
(previous year: EUR 1.00) per share.

The Annual General Meeting elected as scheduled the shareholder
representatives on the Supervisory Board of Hannover Re. Harald Kayser and
Dr. Alena Kouba were elected as new members of the Supervisory Board; they
succeed Dr. Andrea Pollak and Dr. Erhard Schipporeit. The employee
representatives had already been elected on 4 April 2024 by the joint
Employee Council of Hannover Rück SE and E+S Rückversicherung AG, with
Sibylle Kempff and Timo Kaufmann succeeding Natalie Bani Ardalan and Frauke
