Annual General Meeting approves the actions of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board by a wide majority

At the Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Post AG on 28 April 2010, around 1,700 shareholders approved the resolutions proposed by the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board by large majorities. Amongst other things, the shareholders resolved on payment of a dividend of €0.60 per share. The total dividend thus amounts to €725 million. Based on the year-end closing price of our shares, the net dividend yield is 4.4%. The dividend was distributed on 29 April 2010 and is tax-free for shareholders resident in Germany. The actions of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board in financial year 2009 were approved by large majorities. The Board of Management was also authorised to buy back shares – including the use of derivatives – in an amount not to exceed 10% of the existing share capital. In addition, the shareholders endorsed the remuneration system for Board of Management members, to which another sustainability component has been added. Roland Oetker was re-elected to the Supervisory Board; his appointment now extends until the Annual General Meeting in 2015. The Annual General Meeting also resolved on amended Supervisory Board remuneration: the fixed component will increase and the variable component will fully depend on the company’s long-term success. It additionally resolved on further amendments to the Articles of Association, above all to take account of recent legislation.
