PNE AG Annual General Meeting Approves Dividend, Elects New Chairman

PNE AG held its Annual General Meeting on May 19, 2026, where shareholders approved a dividend of EUR 0.04 per share and elected a new Chairman of the Supervisory Board. CEO Heiko Wuttke highlighted the company's successful 2025 financial year, stating, 'PNE has proven that it is profitable in its core business.' He also noted a good start to 2026 but cautioned about challenges from political frameworks, particularly regarding the Federal Government's grid package.

The dividend approval, proposed by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board, passed with a large majority. Shareholders also formally approved the actions of the Management Board and Supervisory Board members for the 2025 financial year. New Supervisory Board members Florian Schuhbauer, Alberto Donzelli, Dirk Simons, and Dr Susanna Zapreva were elected with strong support.

In a subsequent constituent meeting, the Supervisory Board elected Marcel Egger as its new Chairman, succeeding Dirk Simons. Simons will step into the role of CFO on the Management Board starting May 20, 2026, replacing Harald Wilbert, who resigned for personal reasons. The proposal to create New Authorized Capital failed to achieve the required 75% majority.

The Annual General Meeting also approved the compensation report and the appointment of KPMG AG as statutory auditor for 2026. Held virtually for the first time post-pandemic, the meeting allowed broader shareholder participation and improved sustainability by reducing travel.
