Dividend increase and strategic realignment: Deutsche Post AG shareholders approve higher dividend and modernization of Group structure

Annual General Meeting approves modernization of Group structure

A key agenda item was the legal reorganization of the Group structure as part of Strategy 2030 "Accelerate Sustainable Growth." Shareholders approved, with a large majority (99.95 percent of the votes), the transfer of the Post & Parcel Germany division into a separate legal entity, as well as the renaming of the listed Deutsche Post AG to DHL AG. Both measures are expected to take effect in the second half of the year following registration in the commercial register.

With this restructuring, the Group's historically evolved legal organization will be aligned with its established management structure. In the future, Post & Parcel Germany will operate as a legally independent, non-listed subsidiary under the established name Deutsche Post AG and, like the other divisions, will focus on operational business activities. The listed parent company will operate under the name DHL AG and will continue to manage the Group strategy, governance, and cross-divisional services.

Actions of Board of Management and Supervisory Board approved by large majority

The actions of the Board of Management and the Supervisory Board were approved by a large majority (97.97 percent and 96.62 percent of the votes, respectively).

The Annual General Meeting re-elected Dr. Rolf Bösinger and Stefan B. Wintels to the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Post AG until the Annual General Meeting in 2030.

Dr. Rolf Bösinger has been a member of the Supervisory Board since his court appointment in July 2025 and serves on the Finance and Audit Committee, the Executive Committee, and the Nomination Committee. Stefan B. Wintels has been a member of the Supervisory Board since May 2022 and serves on the Strategy, Technology, and Sustainability Committee.

Further resolutions

To ensure financial flexibility, the Annual General Meeting approved a new authorization to issue warrant-linked, convertible, and/or profit-participation bonds with a total nominal amount of up to EUR 2 billion and created corresponding conditional capital.

Deloitte GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft was again appointed as auditor of the financial statements and the sustainability report. The Annual General Meeting also approved the remuneration of the Supervisory Board members (99.28 percent of the votes) and the remuneration report (95.37 percent of the votes) by a large majority.

As part of the voting on the agenda items, valid votes representing an average of 791,232,614 shares were cast. This corresponds to 68.80 percent of the share capital entitled to vote (2025: 65.30 percent).
