Blue Cap AG Annual General Meeting approves increase in dividend to EUR 1.00 per share

_All additional agenda items approved by a large majority

Munich, 25 June 2021 The shareholders of Blue Cap AG approved all items on the agenda for resolution by a large majority at today’s virtual Annual General Meeting.

The shareholders approved the proposal by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board to distribute a dividend for the past financial year of EUR 0.75 and a bonus dividend of EUR 0.25 per share from the successful sale of em-tec in May 2020 (previous year: EUR 0.75). Taking into account yesterday’s Xetra closing price of EUR 26.40, this corresponds to a dividend yield of around 4 percent. The distribution marks the continuation of Blue Cap AG’s stable and sustainable dividend policy.

The resolutions on the discharge of Management Board and Supervisory Board members for the 2020 financial year were adopted by a majority of the shareholders. In order to give Blue Cap AG the greatest possible flexibility for future company acquisitions, the shareholders approved the creation of new authorised capital. Deloitte GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Munich, was elected once again as the auditor. All the questions submitted by shareholders in advance were answered during the meeting.

In a speech, the three-strong Management Board provided shareholders with detailed information on the Blue Cap Group’s operational and strategic business development. In addition to reporting on the 2020 financial year, they talked in particular about advances made by the portfolio companies in the first few months of this year. Blue Cap also highlighted the importance of sustainability criteria in the Group and elaborated on its plans to implement a targeted sustainability strategy. Ulrich Blessing, COO of Blue Cap AG: “Our mission is to ‘make things better’, and with this we want to actively and strategically integrate sustainability into our daily activities. We will take measures at both holding company and portfolio company level to increase sustainability in our Group.” The company is planning to publish its first sustainability report in 2022.

Blue Cap AG also confirmed its forecast at the Annual General Meeting today. For the year 2020, the company expects revenue of between EUR 255 million and EUR 265 million and an (adjusted) EBITDA margin of 8% to 9%.
