Accelleron Industries AG held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on April 28, 2026, where shareholders approved all proposals put forward by the Board of Directors, including a 20% increase in the dividend to CHF 1.50 per share for the 2025 financial year. The dividend will be paid on May 8, 2026, following the ex-dividend date on May 6, 2026. This increase from the previous year's CHF 1.25 per share reflects the company's strong financial performance and commitment to returning value to shareholders.
In a significant leadership transition, the AGM elected Dr. Monika Krusi as the new Chair of the Board of Directors, succeeding Oliver Riemenschneider, who did not stand for re-election after serving as Chair since 2022. Dr. Krusi's election marks a new chapter for the company as it continues to focus on sustainability and innovation in the marine and energy industries.
The AGM also approved the election of Mieke Van de Capelle and Reto Suter as new members of the Board of Directors, while Gabriele Sons, a board member since 2022, did not stand for re-election. The remaining board members were confirmed for re-election, ensuring continuity in governance.
Shareholders approved the maximum total remuneration for the Board of Directors for the term until the 2027 AGM and the maximum total remuneration for the Executive Committee for the 2027 financial year, both unchanged from previous levels. In a consultative vote, the 2025 Compensation Report received 94.99% approval, and the report on non-financial matters included in the 2025 Sustainability Report was approved with 91.62% of votes cast.
A total of 497 shareholders with voting rights attended the AGM in person, representing 53.18% of the total share capital. This strong turnout underscores shareholder engagement with Accelleron's strategic direction.
