At its 2025 Annual General Meeting, E.ON SE shareholders approved a dividend of €0.55 per share for fiscal year 2024, marking the company’s tenth consecutive increase. The dividend will be paid on May 20, 2025.
The vote saw overwhelming support, with 99.92% in favor of the proposal by the Management and Supervisory Boards. E.ON reaffirmed its plan to raise the dividend by up to 5% annually through 2028, underscoring its progressive dividend strategy.
Shareholders also approved the actions of the Management and Supervisory Boards for FY 2024 with approval rates of approximately 98% and 99%, respectively. Supervisory Board members Deborah Wilkens and Rolf Martin Schmitz were re-elected for three-year terms.
In addition, E.ON shareholders approved the current remuneration systems for both the Management and Supervisory Boards.
The meeting was held virtually, continuing a digital format E.ON has refined in recent years. Registered shareholders were able to participate live, including asking questions in real time. Participation remained high, with more than 67% of the capital stock represented.
Shareholders also granted the Management Board authority—with 70% support—to opt for virtual AGM formats over the next two years. The decision process will consider shareholder rights, agenda relevance, cost, and sustainability.
“In 2024, E.ON once again demonstrated its leading role in the European energy transition, proving robust in the face of macroeconomic and geopolitical risks,” said E.ON CEO Leonhard Birnbaum. “Europe is facing a profound transformation of its energy supply and infrastructure. For E.ON, this presents growth opportunities for the next decade and beyond. We will tap into this growth and want our shareholders to benefit from it.”
E.ON noted that its virtual meeting formats are designed to ensure accessibility and transparency while enhancing engagement for its investor base.
