Resolutions of the Supervisory Board of Sartorius AG on virtual AGM and dividend

At today´s meeting, the Supervisory Board of Sartorius AG approved the Executive Board’s recommendation to submit a proposal to the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, which is now a virtual meeting scheduled for June 26, 2020, to pay dividends of 0.36 euro per preference share and 0.35 euro per ordinary share. Prior-year dividends were 0.62 euro and 0.61 euro per preference share and per ordinary share, respectively.

The original dividend proposal of 0.71 euro per preference share and 0.70 euro per ordinary share, as announced February 13, 2020, has been adjusted in light of the ongoing pandemic crisis. Sartorius assumes that it will have to live with considerable uncertainties and risks for still some time to come. Yet at the same time, the current situation offers additional opportunities for further strengthening our portfolio by innovative technologies. Additionally, the company will also make considerable efforts to support people and institutions that have been particularly hit by the pandemic crisis or that play an important role in coping with it.

Sartorius AG had postponed its Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting formerly scheduled for March 26, 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic and the associated restrictive rules imposed on meetings. Supervisory Board and Executive Board of the company decided to take advantage of a new legal regulation and hold the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting without the physical presence of shareholders and their representatives.
