(PRESS RELEASE) HAMBURG, 10-Jun-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — In the recent Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Encavis AG, a Hamburg-based wind and solar park operator listed on the MDAX, decisions were made with a focus on reinforcing the company’s growth trajectory. The AGM, held on June 5, 2024, saw the resolution to retain the entirety of Encavis AG’s consolidated earnings, redirecting them towards the support of the group’s accelerated growth rather than distributing them as dividends. This move aims to bolster the company’s resources from within, facilitating its ambitious expansion plans.

The AGM also saw significant support from shareholders, with clear majorities granting discharge to all members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. Additionally, the amended compensation system for Management Board members received overwhelming approval, following the endorsement of the audited compensation report for the financial year 2023 by shareholders.

A notable development was the election of Ayleen Oehmen-Görisch, attorney at law at CMS Hasche Sigle Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten und Steuerberatern mbB in Frankfurt/Main, to the Supervisory Board of Encavis AG. This appointment, met with a substantial majority of shareholder votes, marks a transition on the board, succeeding Mr. Albert Büll and aligning with the company’s planned change towards a “Staggered Board” structure.

Furthermore, Dr. Marcus Schenck, Head of DACH and member of the Global Management Committee Financial Advisory of Lazard Asset Management (Deutschland) GmbH, based in Munich, was re-elected to the Supervisory Board of Encavis AG, also backed by a significant majority of shareholders.

Dr. Rolf Martin Schmitz, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, expressed satisfaction with the shareholders’ continued interest in the AGM, especially amidst the ongoing takeover situation involving KKR, Viessmann, and ABACON. The meeting provided a platform for robust discussions regarding the company’s future growth prospects and the progress of the takeover process.
