Set out below are the resolution proposals by the Management on all items of the agenda for the Annual General Meeting 2026. The full agenda, including explanatory notes, is available in the Convocation of the Annual General Meeting. The convocation was published in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) on 18 March 2026 (available in German only).

A concise overview of the agendas of the shareholders' meetings can be found here.

In accordance with statutory provisions, no resolution is proposed to be adopted on agenda item 1, as the Supervisory Board has already approved the Company Financial Statements and the Group Financial Statements. The Company Financial Statements are thus adopted. 

The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board propose that the unappropriated profit for the financial year 2025 in the amount of € 2,672,422,497.84 be utilised as follows*:

  • Distribution of a dividend of € 4.42 per non-voting preferred share with a par value of € 1 on the dividend-bearing share capital (52,902,192 preferred shares), amounting to € 233,827,688.64;
  • Distribution of a dividend in the amount of € 4.40 per € 1 par value on the dividend bearing share capital (551,543,648 common shares), amounting to € 2,426,792,051.20;
  • Transfer of the remaining amount of € 11,802,758.00 to other revenue reserves.

The proposal for the utilisation of unappropriated profit reflects 9,591,278 treasury ordinary shares and 1,773,313 treasury preferred shares held by the Company on the date of preparation of the annual financial statements (9 March 2026). These treasury shares are not entitled to dividends pursuant to Section 71b of the AktG.

* Until the Annual General Meeting the number of dividend-bearing shares may differ from the figure used in preparing the financial statements. In this case, the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board will submit an updated resolution proposal to the Annual General Meeting. The dividend per dividend-bearing share will remain unchanged; the total distribution amount and the allocation to other revenue reserves will be adjusted accordingly.

The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board propose that the acts of the members of the Board of Management in the financial year 2025 be ratified for this period.
