At today's Annual General Meeting, the shareholders of Blue Cap AG approved all proposals submitted by the Management Board and Supervisory Board with a large majority. In total, 64.7% of the company's voting share capital was represented. The meeting highlighted a record dividend and strategic milestones that underscore the company's robust business model and growth trajectory.
Shareholders approved the distribution of a total dividend of EUR 1.60 per share, up from EUR 1.10 per share in the previous year. The dividend comprises a base dividend of EUR 0.65 per share and a special dividend of EUR 0.95 per share, primarily funded by the successful sale of portfolio company con-pearl during the 2025 financial year. "The renewed record dividend reflects the strength of our business model. We are allowing our shareholders to participate directly in the value realized from the sale of con-pearl while still maintaining sufficient financial resources to actively shape Blue Cap's next phase of growth," said Dr. Henning von Kottwitz, CEO of Blue Cap AG.
In its report, the Management Board reflected on an eventful year 2025. The sale of con-pearl demonstrated successful execution of the Buy-Transform-Sell strategy, yielding attractive exit proceeds and further strengthening the balance sheet. Additionally, the acquisition of Janoschka AG in early 2026 marked a significant milestone in Blue Cap's growth strategy. Janoschka, an internationally active provider of prepress solutions for the packaging industry, expands the investment portfolio with a globally established company offering attractive development opportunities. "The sale of con-pearl once again demonstrated how we create and realize sustainable value through active transformation. At the same time, with Janoschka we have acquired an investment that is an excellent strategic fit and offers significant value creation potential," said Henning Eschweiler, COO of Blue Cap AG.
Blue Cap AG maintains a strong liquidity position, providing flexibility for value-enhancing acquisitions.
