PNE AG Annual General Meeting Approves Dividend, Elects New Chairman

At its Annual General Meeting held virtually on May 19, 2026, PNE AG shareholders approved a dividend of EUR 0.04 per share and elected Marcel Egger as the new Chairman of the Supervisory Board, marking a transition in leadership as the company reflects on a profitable 2025 financial year and addresses ongoing political challenges.

CEO Heiko Wuttke highlighted the company’s strong performance, stating, ‘We look back on a very successful operating 2025 financial year. PNE has proven that it is profitable in its core business.’ However, he noted challenges arising from the political framework, particularly regarding grid expansion. ‘While we welcome the Federal Government’s grid package, which is intended to synchronize grid expansion, we must ensure that this does not come at the expense of expanding renewable energy. The redispatch proviso carries precisely this risk,’ Wuttke said.

The dividend distribution, approved by a large majority, reflects the proposal by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board. Shareholders also granted discharge to the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board for the 2025 financial year by clear majorities.

In board elections, Florian Schuhbauer, Alberto Donzelli, Dirk Simons, and Dr Susanna Zapreva were elected to the Supervisory Board with large majorities. Following the meeting, the Supervisory Board elected Marcel Egger as its new Chairman, succeeding Dirk Simons. Simons will be appointed as the new CFO of PNE AG effective May 20, 2026, replacing Harald Wilbert, who stepped down at the end of the Annual General Meeting for personal reasons.

The proposal to create New Authorized Capital did not achieve the required 75% majority. However, the compensation report and the appointment of KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprufungsgesellschaft, Bremen, as statutory auditor and group auditor for the 2026 financial year were approved by large majorities.

The Annual General Meeting was held virtually for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing shareholders unable to travel to Cuxhaven to participate and improving the event’s sustainability.
