Blue Cap AG Shareholders Approve Record Dividend of EUR 1.60 Per Share

At today's Annual General Meeting, shareholders of Blue Cap AG approved all proposals with a large majority, marking a significant milestone for the company. The highlight was the approval of a record total dividend of EUR 1.60 per share, comprising a base dividend of EUR 0.65 and a special dividend of EUR 0.95. This distribution is primarily driven by the successful sale of portfolio company con-pearl during the 2025 financial year, demonstrating the effectiveness of Blue Cap's Buy-Transform-Sell strategy. CEO Dr. Henning von Kottwitz emphasized that the record dividend allows shareholders to participate directly in the value realized while maintaining sufficient financial resources for future growth.

The Management Board also reported on the acquisition of Janoschka AG in early 2026, an internationally active provider of prepress solutions for the packaging industry. This acquisition marks the beginning of the next growth phase for Blue Cap, expanding its portfolio with a company that has a global presence and attractive development opportunities. COO Henning Eschweiler noted that the sale of con-pearl and the acquisition of Janoschka exemplify how Blue Cap creates and realizes sustainable value through active transformation. The company's strong liquidity position continues to provide flexibility for value-enhancing acquisitions.
