Lufthansa shareholders vote on recommendations of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board at the Annual General Meeting

Around 2,100 shareholders attended the 60th Annual General Meeting of Deutsche Lufthansa AG today in Cologne. Together with the Company’s Executive Board and Supervisory Board, they dealt with the seven items on the meeting’s agenda. Shareholders accounting for 41.9 per cent of Lufthansa’s share capital were represented at the meeting or took part by postal vote. 

In addition to the election of new shareholder representatives to the Lufthansa Supervisory Board, the agenda of this year’s Annual General Meeting also included a vote on the use of distributable earnings for the financial year 2012. Lufthansa shareholders followed the recommendation of the Executive Board and Supervisory Board and decided to forego a dividend payment for the year 2012. 

The vast majority of the Company’s shareholders also voted to discharge both the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board from the past financial year. The shareholders also approved amendments to control and/or profit transfer agreements between the Company and various subsidiaries. Furthermore, they endorsed the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Düsseldorf, to audit the individual and consolidated financial statements and to review the interim reports for the 2013 financial year.
