Henkel holds Annual General Meeting

Held in Düsseldorf on April 16, 2012, the Annual General Meeting of Henkel AG & Co. KGaA saw all of its agenda resolutions passed by the voting shareholders, of whom a total of some 2,000 attended the event.

The Annual General Meeting approved a dividend of 0.78 euros per ordinary share and 0.80 euros per preferred share. The dividend payout thus increased by more than 10 percent compared to the prior year.

Béatrice Guillaume-Grabisch, Ferdinand Groos and Boris Canessa, previously a member of the Shareholders’ Committee, were elected new members of the Supervisory Board. They succeed Dr.-Ing. Bernhard Walter and Thomas Manchot, both of whom resigned from the Supervisory Board as of the end of the 2012 Annual General Meeting, and Johann-Christoph Frey, who was elected new member of the Shareholders’ Committee.

All other members of both the Supervisory Board and the Shareholders’ Committee were re-elected.
