Trostberg, May 5, 2026 – Alzchem Group AG’s commitment to innovation and growth “Made in Germany” received broad support from shareholders at today’s Annual General Meeting.

The Annual General Meeting followed the proposal of the Management Board and Supervisory Board and resolved to distribute a dividend of EUR 2.10 per share, up from EUR 1.80 in the previous year.
Other key resolutions concerned strategic amendments to the Articles of Association: The Annual General Meeting approved the switch to registered shares, which is intended to enable even more direct and efficient communication with shareholders in the future. In addition, the conditions for electronic shares were established, and further amendments to the Articles of Association were approved, including measures to increase flexibility in conducting virtual Annual General Meetings and to further develop Supervisory Board governance.
Furthermore, the Management Board and Supervisory Board were discharged for the fiscal year 2025 by a large majority, and RSM Ebner Stolz GmbH & Co. KG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft Steuerberatungsgesellschaft, Stuttgart, was reappointed as the auditor of the annual and consolidated financial statements as well as the auditor of the Sustainability Report. The Remuneration Report was also approved.

With the once again increased, attractive dividend of EUR 2.10 per share, we continue to let our shareholders participate appropriately in the company’s success. In addition, the amendments to the Articles of Association approved today, in particular the switch to registered shares, are an important step toward strengthening our capital market communication and laying the foundation for even closer and more efficient interaction with our investors,” explains Andreas Niedermaier, CEO of Alzchem Group AG. “Operationally, we got off to a good start in 2026 with a successful first quarter.
