Payment of a dividend of EUR 1.20 per share was approved at the virtual Annual General Meeting of Gerresheimer AG.
“In 2019, we paved the way for profitable growth and achieved a substantial improvement in the Company’s culture and dynamic. We are investing and working to grow our innovation pipeline. These efforts continue undiminished and we have not been distracted by the Covid-19 pandemic. As a key supplier to the pharma and healthcare industry, we have significant responsibility for ensuring patients receive the medication they need and thus in maintaining our customers’ delivery capacity. We have guaranteed this over the past few months and maintained our own delivery capacity at all times. At present, we are seeing new opportunities arise in the pharma business. What is very high demand for injection vials for future Covid-19 vaccination campaigns is currently providing tailwind. Our clear-cut goal is to set our Gerresheimer on the path to sustainable, profitable growth,” said Dietmar Siemssen, CEO of Gerresheimer AG, at the Annual General Meeting.
The dividend has been raised by 4% to EUR 1.20 per dividend-entitled share, compared with a dividend of EUR 1.15 per share distributed in the prior year. The dividend will be paid out on June 29, 2020.
