Munich, June 24, 2024 - The Annual General Meeting of Blue Cap AG ("Blue
Cap"),

Supervisory Board and the Management Board with large majorities. In total,
69% of Blue Cap's voting share capital was represented.

Blue Cap remains a reliable dividend stock

five members.

resigned from her position and thank her for her outstanding commitment and
her important role in the further development of Blue Cap in recent years.
At the same time, we are delighted with the election of Dr. Christian
Diekmann and Nikolaus Wiegand. We are certain that they will ideally
complement the Supervisory Board with their individual experience and
personality and thus help shape the future of Blue Cap in a positive way."

Dr. Christian Diekmann (58) holds a doctorate in business administration and
began his career as a management consultant at McKinsey in Cologne and
Chicago. In recent years, he has held various management and supervisory
board positions. Dr. Diekmann was CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors
