This corresponds to a total dividend payout of EUR 28.7 million. In the interest of a sustainable dividend policy that shareholders can plan for, the company also intends to increase the dividend for the 2021 financial year to EUR 1.25 and for the 2022 financial year to EUR 1.50 per qualifying share, subject to the company’s financial performance. “As the recently announced preliminary numbers for the 2020 financial year show, we have made it through the coronavirus crisis much better than originally expected in terms of our operational performance. Therefore, we would like our shareholders again to share in the company’s profit for the past financial year,” said Matthias Täubl, CEO of AURELIUS Equity Opportunities. “Given that plannability and continuity are important elements of a consistent capital market policy, we are already announcing today that we would like to increase the dividend by at least EUR 0.25 per share per year in the following years. Should there be successful company exits in the coming years, the dividend in the respective years may even be higher.” ABOUT AURELIUS AURELIUS Group is a pan-European investment group with offices in Munich, London, Stockholm, Madrid and Amsterdam.
