Annual General Meeting

Our finance strategy calls for paying out 40 % to 60 % of net profits as dividends as a general rule. The AGM decided a dividend of €1.80 per share for the 2021 financial year (previous year: €1.35). The payout Ratio in relation to the consolidated net profit attributable to Deutsche Post AG shareholders amounts to 43.6 %.

Adjusted for significant one-off effects, the payout ratio is 42.9 %. The net dividend yield based on the year-end closing price for our shares is 3.2 %. The dividend was disbursed on 11 May 2022.

The entire amount of the dividend for financial year 2021 of €1,80 per no-par value share carrying dividend rights is subject to tax withholding (investment income tax and solidarity surcharge) pursuant to Section 43(1) Sentence 1 No. 1 of the German Income Tax Act (EStG).

International shareholders will be taxed in accordance with the laws of their respective countries of residence.

The dividend will be paid on the basis of legal requirements three working days after the AGM. Deutsche Post AG’s AGM took place on May 6, 2022. The dividend was paid on May 11, 2022.
