At today's Annual General Meeting, shareholders of Blue Cap AG approved all proposals submitted by the Management Board and Supervisory Board with a large majority. The company announced a record total dividend of EUR 1.60 per share, up from EUR 1.10 in the previous year. The dividend consists of a base dividend of EUR 0.65 per share and a special dividend of EUR 0.95 per share, primarily funded by the successful exit of portfolio company con-pearl during the 2025 financial year.
“The renewed record dividend reflects the strength of our business model. We are allowing our shareholders to participate directly in the value realized from the sale of con-pearl while still maintaining sufficient financial resources to actively shape Blue Cap’s next phase of growth,” said Dr. Henning von Kottwitz, CEO of Blue Cap AG.
The Management Board reported on an eventful 2025, highlighting the sale of con-pearl as further evidence of the successful execution of its Buy-Transform-Sell strategy. The company achieved attractive exit proceeds and strengthened its balance sheet. Additionally, the acquisition of Janoschka AG in early 2026 marked a significant milestone in Blue Cap’s growth strategy. Janoschka is an internationally active provider of prepress solutions for the packaging industry, expanding Blue Cap’s portfolio with a company that has a global presence and attractive development opportunities.
“The sale of con-pearl once again demonstrated how we create and realize sustainable value through active transformation. At the same time, with Janoschka we have acquired an investment that is an excellent strategic fit and offers significant value creation potential,” said Henning Eschweiler, COO of Blue Cap AG.
Shareholders representing 64.7% of the company’s voting share capital were present at the meeting. The strong liquidity position continues to provide flexibility for value-enhancing acquisitions.
