ENCAVIS Annual General Meeting decides once again with a clear majority to cancel the dividend in favour of further growth

Hamburg, 10^th June 2024 – The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Hamburg-based wind and solar park operator Encavis AG (Prime Standard; ISIN: DE0006095003; ticker symbol: ECV), which is listed on the MDAX, again resolved to retain the entire consolidated earnings of Encavis AG. The result is to be carried forward to new account and not distributed as a dividend in order to once again support the accelerated growth of the Group from its own resources. The associated strengthening of equity supports the Group's increased growth ambitions.

All members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board were granted discharge by very clear majorities. The amended compensation system for the members of the Management Board was also clearly approved after the audited compensation report for the financial year 2023 had already received the clear approval of the shareholders.

Ayleen Oehmen-Görisch, attorney at law at CMS Hasche Sigle Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten und Steuerberatern mbB, based in Frankfurt/Main, was elected to the Supervisory Board of Encavis AG by a very large majority of shareholders. Mrs Oehmen-Görisch succeeds Mr Albert Büll on the Supervisory Board, who had run for re-election for a term of only two years at the AGM in 2022, in order to continue the planned change of individual members of the Supervisory Board to a so-called “Staggered Board” at Encavis AG.

Dr Marcus Schenck, Head of DACH and member of the Global Management Committee Financial Advisory of Lazard Asset Management (Deutschland) GmbH, based in Munich, was re-elected to the Supervisory Board of Encavis AG also by a very large majority of shareholders.

“We are pleased that our shareholders have continued to show great interest in our Annual General Meeting of Encavis AG, even in the current takeover situation by KKR, Viessmann and ABACON, and that we were able to lead a lively discussion on the Group’s future growth potential and the progress of the takeover process,” said Dr Rolf Martin Schmitz, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, welcoming the interest of investors and shareholders in the Company’s physical Annual General Meeting in Hamburg-Heimfeld.
