Corporate news Annual General Meeting of Hannover Rück SE adopts all proposed resolutions
Hannover, 3 May 2023: The virtual Annual General Meeting of Hannover Rück SE today approved all proposed resolutions by a large majority. In his address Chief Executive Officer Jean-Jacques Henchoz took stock of the past year and emphasised Hannover Re's role as a resilient, reliable and relevant partner. In a rapidly changing landscape Hannover Re creates significant public value. By identifying, assessing and protecting against emerging risks, the company remains true to its role as a reinsurer with its core business and know-how. This plays a vital part, Henchoz noted, in closing protection gaps around the world and thereby contributing to society. Looking to the current financial year, Henchoz expressed his confidence in Hannover Re's ability to grow its profitability and consistently strengthen its resilience despite the continued challenging risk situation worldwide. The Annual General Meeting approved the proposal of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board to pay a total dividend of EUR 6.00 per share for the 2022 financial year.

Altogether, Hannover Re will distribute an amount in the order of EUR 724 million. This year, 79.3% of eligible shareholders took part in the voting. The next Annual General Meeting is scheduled to be held in Hannover on 6 May 2024.
