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 key approvals include a record dividend and strategic milestones that underscore the company's 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 consists of a base dividend of EUR 0.65 per share and a special dividend of EUR 0.95 per share, primarily sourced from the successful sale of portfolio company con-pearl during the 2025 financial year. This record dividend reflects the strength of Blue Cap's business model and allows shareholders to participate directly in value realization while maintaining financial flexibility for future growth.
In its report, the Management Board highlighted the successful execution of the Buy-Transform-Sell strategy, demonstrated by the con-pearl exit. The company achieved attractive exit proceeds, further strengthening its balance sheet. Additionally, the acquisition of Janoschka AG in early 2026 marks a significant milestone. Janoschka is an internationally active provider of prepress solutions for the packaging industry, expanding Blue Cap's portfolio with a globally present company offering attractive development opportunities.
The company's strong liquidity position continues to provide flexibility for value-enhancing acquisitions. Detailed voting results and the Management Board presentation are available at Blue Cap's Annual General Meeting page.
