Fresenius holds virtual General Meeting on August 28, 2020 – dividend proposal unchanged
Fresenius will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on August 28, 2020 as a virtual event. Originally, the AGM was scheduled for May 20, 2020. It had to be postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic. As it is currently impossible to predict for how long the restrictions for large public events will be in effect, Fresenius will use the option provided by the German legislator to hold a virtual event to safeguard the health of shareholders, employees and service providers.
The proposed dividend by the General Partner and the Supervisory Board remains unchanged at €0.84 per share entitled to a dividend.
Shareholders will be provided the possibility to follow the entire AGM on the internet. Fresenius will include further details in the AGM invitation that is to be published in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) and on the corporate website in July.
