Board of Management and Supervisory Board actions approved by large majority
At Deutsche Post AG’s Annual General Meeting in Cologne around 3,400 shareholders approved the resolutions proposed by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board by a large majority. Shareholders representing 99.99 percent of the company’s equity capital resolved, among other issues, to pay a dividend of 90 euro cents per share, 20 percent more than last year.
