Annual General Meeting of HAMBORNER AG: Dr Helmut Linssen and Claus-Matthias Böge elected as new members to the Supervisory Board
 

Duisburg, 8 May 2015 - At yesterday's Annual General Meeting of HAMBORNER REIT AG, shareholders elected two new members to the Supervisory Board and resolved on the dividend payment of EUR 0.40 per share for the past financial year.

As part of the regular new elections of the Supervisory Board, the Annual General Meeting elected two new members to the HAMBORNER Supervisory Board. As Dr David Mbonimana and Dr Bernd Kottmann did not stand for re-election to this corporate body after their many years of service, the Annual General Meeting elected candidates Dr Helmut Linssen and Mr Claus-Matthias Böge, who were proposed by the Supervisory Board, as new members to the Supervisory Board. The previous Finance Minister of Northrhine-Westphalia Dr Helmut Linssen is a member of the Management Board of the RAG Foundation, which has held a ca. 9% stake in HAMBORNER REIT AG since February 2015 and is now the company's largest single shareholder. Mr Claus-Matthias Böge is CEO of Deutsche Euroshop AG until the end of June 2015.

The other members representing the shareholders, Dr Eckart John von Freyend, Ms Christel Kaufmann-Hocker, Mr Robert Schmidt and Ms Bärbel Schomberg, were re-elected to their offices for another five years. In the constitutive session of the Supervisory Board after the Annual General Meeting, Dr John von Freyend was elected as Chairman and Mr Robert Schmidt as Deputy Chairman of the corporate body. The latter was also elected as the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Yesterday's Annual General Meeting also resolved on the dividend payment of EUR0.40 per share as proposed by the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board for the past financial year. The company has therefore kept its dividend stable in spite of the 10% increase in the number of shares.

The results of the votes on the individual items of the agenda are available on the company's website www.hamborner.de under "Annual General Meeting".
