At today’s Annual General Meeting, the shareholders of OHB SE (Prime Standard, ISIN DE0005936124) approved all agenda items put to a vote by a large majority. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the meeting was held virtually again this year, meaning shareholders did not attend in person. The virtual Annual General Meeting was streamed live on the internet.
Shareholders will receive a dividend of EUR 0.48 per share for the past fiscal year, an increase of EUR 0.05 compared to the previous year. Shareholders approved a corresponding resolution proposed by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board today. Under another agenda item, Dr. Hans-Jörg Königsmann was elected as an additional member of the Supervisory Board, and the amendment to the Articles of Association required in this context to expand the Supervisory Board was also approved. With his many years of experience as Vice President of the U.S. aerospace company SpaceX, Dr. Königsmann ideally complements the existing expertise of the board.
The other resolutions on the agenda were also approved by a large majority. Specifically, these included the discharge of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Bremen, as the company’s auditor, the approval of the compensation system for members of the Executive Board, and an extension of the existing authorization to repurchase the company’s own shares.
