Munich, Germany, 30 June 2022 At yesterday's Annual General Meeting, the shareholders of Blue Cap AG (“Blue Cap”) approved all the draft resolutions submitted by the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board with the required consent.

The vast majority of shareholders accepted the dividend proposal of the Management Board and Supervisory Board in the amount of €0.85 per share.

With this distribution, Blue Cap AG continues its stable and sustainable dividend policy.
