GEA Annual General Meeting approves dividend increase and re-elects three Supervisory Board members At today’s Annual General Meeting, the shareholders of GEA Group AG approved all resolutions proposed by the Supervisory Board and Executive Board with a large majority. Among other outcomes, the Annual General Meeting confirmed Dr. Jürgen Fleischer, Prof. Dr. Annette G. Köhler and Ms. Holly Lei as members of the Supervisory Board. All three were elected for a further four-year term. In addition, based on a joint proposal by the Supervisory Board and Executive Board, the meeting approved a dividend increase for the past fiscal year from EUR 1.00 to EUR 1.15 per share. This is in line with GEA’s new dividend policy, presented for the first time at the Capital Markets Day in October 2024, providing for a payout ratio of around 50 percent of net profit. The shareholders also confirmed the existing remuneration system for the Executive Board following a detailed review by the Presiding and Sustainability Committee of the Supervisory Board and the Supervisory Board itself. The system places particularly strong emphasis on performance criteria for sustainable and long-term oriented corporate management. In his speech, CEO Stefan Klebert looked back on a successful fiscal year 2024 for GEA: “We stayed the course and demonstrated strength. We succeeded in increasing both our order intake and revenue+ and in significantly improving our profitability.” He also underscored the early attainment of the Mission 26 financial targets, calling it an “outstanding achievement,” and the launch of a next-generation product design: “The new product design makes the innovative power and quality standards of our machines even more visible.” The voting results and all other relevant documents relating to the Annual General Meeting are available online at: GEA Annual General Meeting 2025
