Henkel holds Annual General Meeting 2025
Significant dividend increase resolved

Düsseldorf – At the Annual General Meeting of Henkel AG & Co. KGaA on April 28, 2025, the shareholders approved all agenda items. A total of about 76 percent of the voting capital stock was represented. As in the previous year, the Annual General Meeting was held as an in- attendance event at the CCD-Stadthalle in Düsseldorf.

Significant dividend increase resolved
As proposed by the corporate bodies, the Annual General Meeting approved a significant dividend increase for both share classes. A dividend of 2.04 euros per preferred share and 2.02 euros per ordinary share will be paid. Henkel’s total dividend payout amounts to about 850 million euros. 

Sabrina Soussan succeeds James Rowan on the Shareholders' Committee
In the supplementary election to the Shareholders' Committee, Sabrina Soussan was elected as successor to James Rowan, who has resigned as a shareholder representative with effect from the end of the 2025 Annual General Meeting and left the Shareholders' Committee.

Creation of Authorized Capital as an anticipatory resolution
The proposal for new authorized capital as an ‘anticipatory resolution’ was also accepted. This puts the company in a position to cover any future financial requirements quickly and flexibly. At the same time, additional flexibility and reserves for liquidity management are created. The previous authorized capital approved by the Annual General Meeting on April 17, 2020, will expire on June 16, 2025.
