The Annual General Meeting of Hannover Rück SE was held on 7 May 2014 in Hannover. Numerous shareholders, shareholder and bank representatives as well as guests took up the invitation of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board to attend the meeting in the HCC (Hannover Congress Centrum). Altogether, including postal ballots a good 72.4% of the share capital was represented.

In his address to shareholders Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Wallin took the opportunity to look back once more on the very pleasing 2013 financial year, in which the company had again surpassed the profit generated in the previous year. A very good underwriting performance in property and casualty reinsurance had put in place the cornerstone for the new record result of EUR 895.5 million. Against this backdrop, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board proposed to the Annual General Meeting that a gross dividend of EUR 3.00 per share should be distributed for the 2013 financial year. This proposal, together with all the other items on the agenda, was approved by the Annual General Meeting by a large majority. The Annual General Meeting re-elected the existing shareholder representatives as members of the Supervisory Board of Hannover Rück SE. All voting results and the attendance were published on the company’s website following the Annual General Meeting. The next Annual General Meeting will be held in Hannover on 6 May 2015.
