At its Annual General Meeting held in Amberg, Germany, on June 24, 2026, Nabaltec AG received broad shareholder approval for its operational direction and corporate strategy. The meeting, conducted in person, saw shareholders endorse the joint profit appropriation proposal from the Management Board and Supervisory Board, resulting in a dividend distribution of EUR 2.6 million, or EUR 0.29 per share. This marks the second consecutive year the company has paid a dividend of this amount.
The remaining distributable profit of EUR 66.6 million will be carried forward to new account, reinforcing the company's equity base. The dividend is scheduled for payment on June 29, 2026. Johannes Heckmann, CEO of Nabaltec AG, expressed satisfaction with the strong shareholder support, particularly given the challenging market environment in the chemical industry. He noted, "We are especially pleased to be able to give our shareholders a share in the company's success, particularly given the overall more cautious dividend policy across the chemicals sector."
In addition to the profit appropriation, shareholders approved the discharge of the Management Board and Supervisory Board, the election of the auditor for the 2026 financial year, and several anticipatory resolutions. These include authorizations to acquire treasury shares, create new authorized capital, and issue convertible bonds or bonds with warrants, along with the creation of new contingent capital. These measures are designed to provide the company with strategic flexibility for future growth and financing opportunities.
The implications of this announcement are significant for shareholders and the broader chemical industry. Nabaltec's consistent dividend policy, even amid a cautious sector-wide approach, signals financial stability and confidence in the company's future performance. The carried-forward profit strengthens the equity base, which can support ongoing investments in capacity expansion and product development. For the industry, Nabaltec's ability to maintain dividends may set a benchmark for other chemical companies navigating similar market headwinds.
