With today’s presentation of its 2010 annual report, centrotherm photovoltaics AG confirms its preliminary figures published on February 23, and looks back on the best financial year in the company’s history. The globally leading technology and equipment supplier to the photovoltaics sector is consequently planning the payment of its first dividend to shareholders. The Management and Supervisory boards of the Southern German company will therefore propose to the Shareholders’ General Meeting to be held on August 18, 2011 that it distributes a dividend of EUR 0.50 for the past financial year, plus a one-off bonus dividend of EUR 0.20 per share.
“In view of the past financial year’s good earnings trend, we would like our shareholders to participate in our company’s success through a dividend payment”, was how Robert M. Hartung, CEO and Management Board Chairman of centrotherm photovoltaics AG, commented on today’s publication of its 2010 annual report. “We regard our proposal as part of a long-term dividend policy. This means that we are also planning to distribute a dividend for the coming financial years depending on our corporate development.”
