Munich, 9 June 2016 – All resolutions proposed by management were agreed by large majorities of the shareholders represented at the annual general meeting of AURELIUS SE & Co. KGaA (ISIN: DE000A0JK2A8) held in Munich today (67,62 % of the share capital was represented).

As proposed by the management, the meeting approved the distribution of a record dividend of €2.45 per share out of the distributable profit of AURELIUS SE & Co. KGaA. This represents a 22 percent increase in the dividend from the prior year. The distribution consists of a base dividend of €0.90 per share (prior year: €0.80) together with a participation dividend of €1.55 per share (prior year: €1.20). The distribution volume therefore amounts to €76.4 million.

In addition, a resolution to increase the size of the Supervisory Board of AURELIUS SE & Co. KGaA by a further three members was agreed, taking the total to six. Professor Mark Wössner was appointed to the Supervisory Board as a new member, while Dr. Ulrich Wolters, Dr. Frank Hübner and Maren Schulze were elected as additional members. The two existing Supervisory Board members Professor Bernd Mühlfriedel and Holger Schulze retained their seats.

Additionally, to further differentiate the business model, in particular in the UK and international markets, a resolution was agreed to rename the company “AURELIUS Equity Opportunities SE & Co. KGaA”.
