Accelleron AGM Approves 20% Dividend Increase, Elects Dr. Monika Krusi as Chair

Shareholders of Accelleron Industries AG approved all proposals put forward by the Board of Directors at the company's Annual General Meeting 2026, held on April 28, 2026. Key outcomes include a 20% increase in the dividend to CHF 1.50 per share and the election of Dr. Monika Krusi as the new Chair of the Board of Directors.

The dividend increase from CHF 1.25 to CHF 1.50 per share reflects the company's strong financial performance in the 2025 financial year. The dividend will be paid on May 8, 2026, following the ex-dividend date on May 6, 2026. This move signals Accelleron's commitment to delivering shareholder value and confidence in its future cash flows.

The election of Dr. Monika Krusi as Chair marks a leadership transition, succeeding Oliver Riemenschneider, who did not stand for re-election after serving since 2022. Dr. Krusi brings extensive experience in the industrial sector, and her appointment is expected to guide Accelleron's strategic direction in accelerating sustainability in the marine and energy industries.

Additionally, the Annual General Meeting elected Mieke Van de Capelle and Reto Suter as new members of the Board of Directors, while Gabriele Sons, who served since 2022, did not stand for re-election. The remaining Board members were confirmed for re-election. Shareholders also approved the maximum total remuneration for the Board of Directors until the 2027 Annual General Meeting and for the Executive Committee for the 2027 financial year, both unchanged from prior levels.

In a consultative vote, the 2025 Compensation Report was approved with 94.99% of votes cast, and the report on non-financial matters included in the 2025 Sustainability Report received 91.62% approval. These high approval rates indicate strong shareholder support for Accelleron's governance and sustainability practices.
