At today's Annual General Meeting, Blue Cap AG shareholders approved all proposals with a large majority. The distribution of a total dividend of EUR 1.60 per share was approved, consisting of a base dividend of EUR 0.65 and a special dividend of EUR 0.95 per share. This record dividend follows the successful sale of portfolio company con-pearl during the 2025 financial year.
Dr. Henning von Kottwitz, CEO of Blue Cap AG, stated: "The renewed record dividend reflects the strength of our business model. We are allowing our shareholders to participate directly in the value realized from the sale of con-pearl while still maintaining sufficient financial resources to actively shape Blue Cap's next phase of growth."
The Management Board reported on an eventful year 2025, highlighting the successful execution of the Buy-Transform-Sell strategy with the con-pearl exit, which strengthened the balance sheet. Additionally, the acquisition of Janoschka AG in early 2026 marks an important milestone in Blue Cap's growth strategy. Janoschka, an internationally active provider of prepress solutions for the packaging industry, expands the investment portfolio with an established company that has a global presence and attractive development opportunities.
Henning Eschweiler, COO of Blue Cap AG, commented: "The sale of con-pearl once again demonstrated how we create and realize sustainable value through active transformation. At the same time, with Janoschka we have acquired an investment that is an excellent strategic fit and offers significant value creation potential."
A total of 64.7% of the company's voting share capital was represented at the meeting. The detailed voting results and the Management Board presentation are available at www.blue-cap.de/annual-general-meeting.
