Podstawa prawna: Art. 56 ust. 1 pkt 2 Ustawy o ofercie - informacje bieżące i okresowe

At today's Annual General Meeting in Hannover, the shareholders of Talanx AG approved by a large majority all resolutions proposed by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board, including those regarding the appropriation of profits and authorised capital.

In his speech, Chairman of the Talanx AG Board of Management Herbert K. Haas took another look back at financial year 2016, in which the Talanx Group achieved a Group net income of EUR 907 million, the highest in the company's history to date. In addition to renewed success in the reinsurance business, the improvement in earnings in primary insurance, which increased its share of Group EBIT to more than 40 (33) percent, was the main factor that contributed to this positive trend.

The shareholders also voted in favour of the proposal to raise the dividend to EUR 1.35 (1.30) per share. Based on the 2016 average share price, this corresponds to a dividend yield of 4.8 percent. Since the IPO in October 2012, the dividend has steadily risen from EUR 1.05 by 30 cents or 29 percent. 425 shareholders were present at the Annual General Meeting at the Hannover Congress Centrum. This corresponds to a presence of 91.55 percent of the company's voting share capital.
