PNE AG held its Annual General Meeting on May 19, 2026, where shareholders approved a dividend of EUR 0.04 per share and elected key leadership changes. CEO Heiko Wuttke highlighted a successful 2025 financial year, noting that the company has proven profitability in its core business. However, he cautioned about challenges from political frameworks, specifically regarding the Federal Government's grid package. "While we welcome the grid package, we must ensure that this does not come at the expense of expanding renewable energy. The redispatch proviso carries precisely this risk," Wuttke said.
Shareholders approved the appropriation of balance sheet profits and the dividend proposal by a large majority. They also formally approved the actions of Management Board and Supervisory Board members for the 2025 financial year. Florian Schuhbauer, Alberto Donzelli, Dirk Simons, and Dr. Susanna Zapreva were elected to the Supervisory Board. Immediately after the meeting, the Supervisory Board elected Marcel Egger as its new Chairman, succeeding Dirk Simons, who will become CFO of PNE AG effective May 20, 2026. Previous CFO Harald Wilbert stepped down at the end of the meeting for personal reasons, having requested this in late April.
The proposal to create New Authorized Capital did not achieve the required 75% majority, while the compensation report and the appointment of KPMG AG as auditor for 2026 were approved. The meeting was held virtually for the first time post-pandemic, allowing broader shareholder participation and improved sustainability.
