Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s leading provider of dialysis products and services, postpones its 2020 Annual General Meeting, which was scheduled for May 19, to a later date this year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The resolutions regarding the allocation of the distributable profit and the payout of the dividend will be postponed accordingly.
As soon as conditions allow again for a reliable planning and safe implementation of the Annual General Meeting, Fresenius Medical Care will announce the new date.
Rice Powell, Chief Executive Officer of Fresenius Medical Care, said: “The decision to postpone our Annual General Meeting was not an easy one for us to take. But the protection and health of our shareholders and employees is very important to us. In light of this exceptional situation, a postponement is the only sensible option.”
