At today's Annual General Meeting, shareholders of Blue Cap AG approved all proposals submitted by the Management Board and Supervisory Board with a large majority, including a record dividend of EUR 1.60 per share. The dividend consists of a base dividend of EUR 0.65 per share and a special dividend of EUR 0.95 per share, reflecting the successful sale of portfolio company con-pearl during the 2025 financial year. In total, 64.7% of the company's voting share capital was represented at the meeting.
"The renewed record dividend reflects the strength of our business model. We are allowing our shareholders to participate directly in the value realized from the sale of con-pearl while still maintaining sufficient financial resources to actively shape Blue Cap's next phase of growth," said Dr. Henning von Kottwitz, CEO of Blue Cap AG. The dividend distribution underscores the company's commitment to shareholder returns and its ability to generate value through its Buy-Transform-Sell strategy.
Part of the exit proceeds from con-pearl have been reinvested into the acquisition of Janoschka AG in early 2026, marking an important milestone in Blue Cap's growth strategy. Janoschka is an internationally active provider of prepress solutions for the packaging industry, expanding the investment portfolio with an established company that has a global presence and attractive development opportunities. The company's strong liquidity position continues to provide flexibility for value-enhancing acquisitions.
"The sale of con-pearl once again demonstrated how we create and realize sustainable value through active transformation. At the same time, with Janoschka we have acquired an investment that is an excellent strategic fit and offers significant value creation potential," said Henning Eschweiler, COO of Blue Cap AG. The Management Board presented a detailed review of the eventful year 2025, highlighting the successful execution of their strategy.
