Newsletter Q3 2024
Dear shareholders,
ladies and gentlemen,
The highlight of the last quarter was certainly our Annual General Meeting, at which we were able to welcome many of you. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for coming, for your active participation and for the personal exchange.
Among other things, the Annual General Meeting approved the proposal to pay a dividend of EUR 0.65 per share and elected two new Supervisory Board members, Dr. Christian Diekmann and Nikolaus Wiegand. Barely a few days in office, we have the pleasure of introducing Dr. Diekmann (Chairman of the Supervisory Board) to you today in an interview. In our "Portfolio Deep Dive", you can read about how our portfolio company Transline uses artificial intelligence in its day-to-day business.
Please contact us if you have any questions or suggestions at ir@blue-cap.de.
We wish you an interesting read and thank you for your interest!
Best regards,
Your Blue Cap Team
