SURTECO GROUP SE: Annual General Meeting passes resolution to pay dividend of € 0.70 per share; Premature renewed appointment of Mr Wolfgang Moyses as Chairman of the Management Board Munich, 7 June 2023 – At the ordinary Annual General Meeting, the Chairman of the Management Board of SURTECO GROUP SE presented a report to the shareholders concerning the development during the year 2022 and the current business situation. After a good start to the business year 2022, the substantial increase in inflation and macroeconomic uncertainties caused a tangible decline in demand. Sales in 2022 were € 748 million (2021: € 757 million) and earnings before financial result and income tax (EBIT) amounted to € 40 million (2021: € 73 million). In the first quarter of 2023, the acquired divisions of Omnova were only included in the financial statements for one month. This meant that the restrained demand could not yet be compensated. Sales in the months January to March 2023 therefore came down by 3 % compared with the equivalent year-earlier quarter to € 206 million. EBIT for the quarter fell by 62 % compared with the previous year to € 7.6 million, primarily owing to the lack of demand and resulting low utilization of production capacity, and the expenses in connection with the Omnova acquisition. The Supervisory Board and the Management Board submitted a proposal to pay out a dividend of € 0.70 per share (2022: € 1.00), which the Annual General Meeting approved by a large majority. Mr. Andreas Engelhardt was re-elected as a Member of the Supervisory Board also by a large majority. All other agenda items at the Annual General Meeting were likewise approved. At the meeting of the Supervisory Board held after the Annual General Meeting, Mr Andreas Engelhardt was again elected as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. Furthermore, the Supervisory Board passed a resolution for a premature renewed appointment of Mr Wolfgang Moyses as Chairman of the Management Board for the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2028.
