Annual General Meeting

The Board of Management and the Supervisory Board are proposing a dividend of €1.85 per share for financial year 2024. If accepted by the Annual General Meeting, the dividend will be paid on May 7, 2025, by Clearstream Banking AG via custodian banks.

The fiscal year 2024 dividend of EUR 1.85 per no-par value share carrying dividend rights will generally be disbursed by the custodian banks less 25% capital gains tax (investment income tax) and 5.5% solidarity surcharge on the capital gains tax and, if applicable, church tax on the capital gains tax. The dividend will be paid to shareholders by their custodian banks via Clearstream Banking AG beginning May 7, 2025.

Shareholders domiciled abroad will be subject to the tax law of their individual countries of residence. The capital gains tax withheld may be reduced in accordance with existing double-taxation agreements between the Federal Republic of Germany and the relevant country.

The dividend will be paid on the basis of legal requirements three working days after the AGM. Deutsche Post AG’s Annual General Meeting will be held on May 2, 2025. The dividend will be paid on May 7, 2025.

Deutsche Post AG’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held at 10:00 am (CEST) on May 2, 2025. Doors open at 8:30 am. The AGM is conducted as a physical event this year that is attended in person by shareholders or their proxies. The venue where the event will be held is the World Conference Center Bonn (WCCB), Platz der Vereinten Nationen 2, 53113 Bonn, Germany.

The invitation documents for the AGM are expected to be sent to shareholders entered into our shareholder register beginning on April 4, 2025.

Shareholders who have registered to have AGM documents sent to them electronically are expected to receive an e-mail with a link to register online on April 4, 2025.

The deadline for registering for this year’s Deutsche Post AG AGM is midnight (CEST) on April 28, 2025. Registrations submitted after this time will not be processed.

Shareholders entered into the shareholder register and their proxies will be able to watch and listen to the AGM during an online livestream. To view the stream, please use the “Livestream” button on the shareholder portal.

The AGM will be streamed without restriction until the end of the CEO’s speech at group.dhl.com/agm. In other words, the opening address by the Chairman of the Meeting and the CEO’s speech will be livestreamed without restriction on the website, but not the subsequent general debate.  

Since 2020, we have offered the alternative opportunity to receive the invitation to the AGM by e-mail instead of traditional mail delivery. This option is in response to the growing interest among shareholders in a means of accessing the AGM invitation digitally, irrespective of location.

To register for e-mail delivery, please visit our website at group.dhl.com/agm or register directly at group.dhl.com/hv-mail with your shareholder number and access code. You will find both in the registration forms for this year’s AGM.

Exclusively in German. Upon request, there is the option to listen along to a simultaneous interpretation in English at the venue as well as in the shareholder portal.

If a shareholder does not plan to attend the Annual General Meeting themselves, but would prefer to have another individual attend on their behalf, the shareholder can designate a proxy to exercise the voting rights at the Annual General Meeting by ordering an admission ticket in the proxy’s name or their name using the shareholder portal or by returning the reply form attached to the invitation letter. In the latter case, the shareholder can designate a proxy on their admission ticket who will attend on their behalf.

In addition, the shareholder can issue proxy authorization and instructions to the proxies of Deutsche Post AG using the shareholder portal or by returning the reply form. It is also possible to issue proxy authorization and voting instructions to a bank, a shareholders’ association or an equivalent person or institution as defined by section 135 of the AktG using the reply form (please ensure in advance that the person or institution is willing to represent the shareholder). Those financial institutions, shareholders' associations and other legally equivalent persons or institutions pursuant to Section 135 AktG which use the Company's shareholder portal may also be appointed to serve as proxies via the shareholder portal available at group.dhl.com/agm. Alternatively, the shareholder can exercise their voting rights by submitting a postal ballot. This can be done through the reply form or the shareholder portal (group.dhl.com/agm).

Shares can be bought at any time. There is no lodgment day or lock for registered shares.

The number of shares indicated on the admission ticket refers to the amount recorded in the share register on the day the ticket is issued. The registration status on the day of the Annual General Meeting is, however, decisive with respect to the right to attend the Annual General Meeting and the number of voting rights at the Annual General Meeting dedicated to each authorized participant. Entries in the share register are, in principle, updated for purchases and sales on an ongoing basis.

Please note that modifications to the share register will be suspended from midnight, 24:00 CEST, April 28, 2025, until the end of the Annual General Meeting. Therefore, on the day of the Annual General Meeting, the share register reflects the registration status as of midnight, April 28, 2025. This means that shareholders who purchase shares and submit applications to the Company for modification of the share register that are received after midnight on April 28, 2025, will not be permitted to exercise their right to attend the AGM or submit votes arising from these shares. In such cases, the right to attend and the right to vote remain with the shareholder entered in the share register until the change in ownership is recorded.

The shareholders of the Company who are registered in the Company’s share register and have notified the Company of their shareholding and intention to attend by the notification deadline (midnight on April 28, 2025) are entitled to attend and exercise their voting rights at the Annual General Meeting. The registration status in the share register on the day of the Annual General Meeting is decisive with respect to the right to attend the Annual General Meeting and the number of voting rights at the Annual General Meeting dedicated to each authorized participant.

Please note that modifications to the share register will be suspended from midnight on April 28, 2025. This means that shareholders who purchase shares and submit applications to the Company for modification of the share register that are received after midnight on April 28, 2025, will not be permitted to exercise their right to attend the AGM or submit votes arising from these shares. In such cases, the right to attend and the right to vote remain with the shareholder entered in the share register until the change in ownership is recorded.

If you would like us to change your address information, please send us the detached portion of the invitation letter with the included reply envelope for the purpose of changing the address. You can also change your address in our shareholder portal at group.dhl.com/shareregister or arrange for it through your custodian bank.
