CEWE with seventh consecutive dividend increase

- Annual General Meeting resolves on dividend of EUR 1.60 per share

Oldenburg, 1 June 2016. The regular Annual General Meeting of CEWE Stiftung
& Co. KGaA (SDAX, ISIN: DE 0005403901) approved all the agenda items
proposed by the management in Oldenburg today. The attendance rate was 61.0
%. The dividend rise is 5 eurocents a share, to 1.60 euros per share - the
seventh dividend increase in succession. The dividend yield is 2.9 % on the
basis of the 2015 year-end share price (54.61 euros). On the basis of the
share price at the end of 2014 (51.51 euros), the CEWE share price grew by
3.10 euros, an increase of 6.0 %, in the period up to the end of December
2015. On the inclusion of the dividend paid out for the business year of
2014, the yield for CEWE shareholders was thus 9.0 % in 2015. With the
dividend of 1.60 euros a share now resolved by the Annual General Meeting,
the shareholders are also getting an additional dividend yield of 2.9 % on
the basis of the 2015 year-end share price. Over and above this, the CEWE
share price has already risen by as much as 10.5 % in the current year (as
at 31 May 2016).

CEWE combines a steady dividend increase and sound growth
CEWE is thus confirming its position as a high-yield, sound growth share.
CEWE invests simultaneously in the brand and the brand product portfolio,
in innovations to existing business segments and in growth areas with high
potential, such as commercial online printing. "For many years now, our
shareholders have been able to rely on us staying on track: we want to
consistently increase our dividend in absolute terms, guarantee sound
financing and a sound capital ratio, and more than anything else, grow
profitably in attractive business segments," Dr. Rolf Hollander, Chairman
of the Board of Management of CEWE Stiftung & Co. KGaA, points out in a
talk at the Annual General Meeting. The company has given itself sufficient
scope, not only to invest and increase its dividend, but also to allow
capital to flow back to the shareholders in the form of the share
