AGM approves increased dividend and stock split

Neutraubling, 20 June 2007 – At today’s 27th Annual General Meeting of Krones AG, all the items on the agenda proposed by the Executive and Supervisory Boards for ratification were approved by large majorities. Besides increasing the dividend to 1.60 euros per share (preceding year: 1.40 euros), the AGM also approved a stock split in a ratio of 1 to 3. Following registration and implementation of the requisite capital increase from company funds, one share certificate will be replaced by three. Each shareholder will thus additionally receive two new shares for each old one. “With the stock split., we aim to upgrade the liquidity and trading of our shares, so as to render the stock even more attractive to broad categories of investor”, says Krones’ Financial Director Hans-Jürgen Thaus.
