Executive Board proposes a dividend of EUR 0.13 per share

Haselünne, February 18, 2021 - The Executive Board of Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft, which is listed on the regulated market (General Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN: DE0005201602), today decided its dividend proposal for the 2020 financial year. Subject to the approval of the Supervisory Board and on the basis of the preliminary, not yet audited results for the 2020 financial year, a dividend of EUR 0.13 per share shall be proposed to the Annual General Meeting on May 11, 2021. The amount of the distribution thus represents almost the entire consolidated profit for the 2020 financial year.

"The past year was very challenging for us in light of the coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, we achieved solid profitability also in 2020. That is why we want our shareholders to participate extensively in the Group's profit even in these times - in line with our dividend policy, which we presented in 2019", says Oliver Schwegmann, one of the members of the Executive Board of Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft. "Based on the proposal and the year-end price of the Berentzen share, our shareholders will achieve an attractive dividend yield of 2.4 percent", Schwegmann says.

Further information about the 2020 financial year will be published according to plan on March 25, 2021 with the 2020 Annual Report.
