HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA: Annual General Meeting approves dividend of
Euro 2.40 and introduces staggered terms in office for Supervisory Board
* Dividend of Euro 2.40 approved for 2023/24 financial year - distribution
quota rises to 30.7%
* Hornbach has now paid a dividend without interruption or reduction for
37 years
* By AGM resolution, Supervisory Board introduces rotating system with
staggered future terms and reduces term in office to four-year maximum
Bornheim (Palatinate), Germany, July 5, 2024.
Shareholders at today's Annual General Meeting of HORNBACH Holding AG & Co.
KGaA (ISIN: DE0006083405) voted with a large majority to approve the
distribution of a dividend of Euro 2.40 per share (2022/23: Euro 2.40). This
corresponds to a distribution quota of 30.7% (2022/23: 24.4%) and a dividend
yield of 3.5% based on the XETRA closing price on February 29, 2024.
HORNBACH is thus maintaining the continuity of its reliable dividend
strategy. Since its IPO in 1987, HORNBACH Holding has distributed a dividend
at least at the previous year's level to its shareholders each year.
Other proposals submitted by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board
also received majority approval at the Annual General Meeting. These
included the introduction of a rotating system for the composition of the
Supervisory Board ('staggered board'). This means that, unlike to date,
Supervisory Board members will no longer all be elected for identical terms
in office ending on the same date, but rather individually proposed for
re-election. In parallel, the future duration of a term in office will be
reduced from five years currently to a maximum of four years. This new
requirement takes immediate effect. This way, HORNBACH has ensured that, in
terms of its organization, the Supervisory Board will regularly benefit from
fresh momentum.
A total of 75.96% of HORNBACH Holding's share capital was represented at the
Annual General Meeting. The voting results for individual agenda items at
the Annual General Meeting and a recording of the presentation given by
Albrecht Hornbach are published on HORNBACH Holding's website at:
