All agenda items were approved by the Annual General Meeting by a large majority. The Annual General Meeting approved the payment of a dividend of EUR 1.05 per eligible no-par-value bearer share for financial year 2020. KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Frankfurt/Main, was appointed as auditor for financial year 2021. At the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Management reported in detail on the successful business development of the Leifheit Group in 2020. It also gave an overview of the results for the first quarter of 2021, during which the Group was able to continue its growth course from the previous year. Finally, it provided an outlook for the remaining financial year, which will continue to be influenced by the implementation of the Scaling up Success growth strategy, as well as by challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Henner Rinsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Leifheit AG, says: "In financial year 2020, we focused on implementing our Scaling up Success growth strategy in order to create the conditions for sustainable turnover growth and increased profitability. This strategy generated positive effects in all sectors in 2020, and continues to be the basis for our performance success. The TV advertising for the brands Soehnle and Leifheit also contributed significantly to the positive business development in the first quarter of 2021. Our current TV campaigns - for example, for the innovative Regulus Aqua PowerVac cordless vacuum wiper with its 'very good' rating or the Soehnle Style Sense Safe 300 bathroom scale with its 'very good' score - are continuing to present our consumers in the important home market of Germany with a select range of products. At the same time, we are becoming more and more active in the international markets and will be advertising on TV in Italy and France for the very first time." The detailed voting results for the respective agenda items will be published on the website at agm.leifheit-group.com.
