Partners Group Holding AG announced that shareholders approved all proposals put forward by the Board of Directors at the 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) held today in Baar-Zug, Switzerland. The approvals encompass financial and non-financial reporting for the 2025 fiscal year, dividend distribution, discharge of board and executive team, compensation reports and budgets, and re-elections of board members and auditors.
The shareholders endorsed the 2025 Annual Report, including the management report, consolidated financial statements, and standalone financial statements, as well as the 2025 non-financial report (Sustainability Report). This comprehensive approval reflects the firm's commitment to transparency in both financial and ESG performance, which is increasingly important for investors in the private markets industry.
A key highlight was the approval of a cash dividend of CHF 46.00 per share for fiscal year 2025, with the net dividend payment scheduled for May 27, 2026, following the ex-dividend date on May 22, 2026. The dividend underscores Partners Group's strong cash generation and its ability to reward shareholders while maintaining capital for investment activities.
Shareholders also granted discharge to the Board of Directors and Executive Team for their activities in 2025, signaling satisfaction with the leadership's stewardship. Additionally, the 2025 Compensation Report was approved in a consultative vote, and all compensation-related agenda items, including budgets for the Board and Executive Team, received shareholder endorsement.
