Hapag-Lloyd AG shareholders approved today with the required majority all items on the agenda put to the vote at the virtual Annual General Meeting. This included the appropriation of the net profit and thereby the payment of a dividend of EUR 35 per share.

“We look back on an exceptionally successful year. We have made massive investments, significantly strengthened our financial and asset position, and achieved a record result. We are therefore very pleased that our shareholders will be able to benefit from a dividend again,” said Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd AG, adding: “At the same time, we have gotten the current year off to a very good start, and we are also expecting much higher results for the 2022 financial year.”

The shareholders approved the proposal to elect Dr Andreas Rittstieg to the Supervisory Board as a shareholder representative. Rittstieg, who holds a doctorate in law, was a member of the Executive Board of the holding company of the Hubert Burda Media Group; has worked as a partner and lawyer in leading law firms in Hamburg, Los Angeles and Tokyo; and was a member of the Supervisory Board of Hapag-Lloyd AG until 2014. He will be succeeding Nicola Gehrt, who resigned from office with effect at the end of the Annual General Meeting on 25 May. It was also resolved to re-elect Turqi Abdulrahman A. Alnowaiser, Sheikh Ali bin Jassim Al-Thani, Oscar Eduardo Hasbún Martínez and José Francisco Pérez Mackenna to the Supervisory Board of Hapag-Lloyd AG.
