Hapag-Lloyd Annual General Meeting approves all proposed resolutions

* Resolution to pay dividend of EUR 9.25 per share approved

  * Actions of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board formally approved
    for the 2023 financial year

  * Michael Behrendt re-elected to the Supervisory Board and confirmed as
    its chairman

Hapag-Lloyd AG shareholders approved today with the required majority all
items on the agenda put to the vote at the Annual General Meeting. This
included the appropriation of the net profit and thereby the payment of a
dividend of EUR 9.25 per share.

'We achieved the third-best Group profit in the history of our company and,
on the whole, we can look back on a very successful 2023. For this reason,
our shareholders will benefit from a dividend again. What's more, we have
made considerable strategic progress by improving our service quality,
expanding our terminal activities, and further modernising our vessel and
container fleets,' said Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd, adding:
'With our new Strategy 2030, we have also set our course for the coming
years. We will now vigorously pursue this strategy while keeping in mind our
ambitious sustainability goals and our aim to be the 'undisputed number one
for quality' for our customers.'

The shareholders also approved the proposal of the Supervisory Board to
re-elect Michael Behrendt to the Supervisory Board as a shareholder
representative. Following the Annual General Meeting, Behrendt was also
re-elected by his fellow Supervisory Board members to continue to be its
chairman. Michael Behrendt has been the chairman of the Supervisory Board of
Hapag-Lloyd AG since 2014. 'I am very pleased with the election result and
the trust that our shareholders have in me. With continuity on the
Supervisory Board, we will seamlessly maintain the trust-based cooperation
of recent years and continue to provide constructive support to the
Executive Board,' Michael Behrendt said.

As stated in the forecast for the current 2024 financial year published on
14 March, Hapag-Lloyd expects the Group EBITDA to be in the range of USD 1.1
to 3.3 billion (EUR 1 to 3 billion) and the Group EBIT to be in the range of
USD minus 1.1 to 1.1 billion (EUR minus 1 to 1 billion). However, this
forecast remains subject to considerable uncertainty given the very volatile
freight rates and major geopolitical challenges.
