Munich, April 28, 2016 –Thanks to the successful exits in recent months and the resulting high cash position of currently over EUR 600 million, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board of AURELIUS (ISIN DE000A0JK2A8) will propose to the annual general meeting to be held on June 9, 2016, that – contrary to the original plan – the dividend be increased by an additional euro. In addition to the base dividend of EUR 0.90 (prior year: EUR 0.80), a participation dividend of EUR 1.55 (prior year: EUR 1.20) is to be proposed. The total dividend of EUR 2.45 would correspond to a record distribution of EUR 76.6 million (prior year: EUR 63.4 million).
