Shareholders of Accelleron Industries AG approved all proposals put forward by the Board of Directors at today’s Annual General Meeting 2026, including a 20% increase in the dividend to CHF 1.50 per share. The dividend, up from CHF 1.25 in the previous year, will be paid on May 8, 2026, following the ex-dividend date on May 6, 2026. This payout reflects the company’s strong financial performance in the 2025 financial year and its commitment to returning value to shareholders.
In a significant leadership transition, the Annual General Meeting elected Dr. Monika Krusi as the new Chair of the Board of Directors, succeeding Oliver Riemenschneider, who did not stand for re-election after serving as Chair since 2022. Krusi’s election comes at a pivotal time for Accelleron, which is positioning itself as a key player in the energy transition. The company, a global technology leader in turbocharging, fuel injection, and digital solutions for heavy-duty applications in the marine and energy industries, is accelerating sustainability efforts across its operations.
Shareholders also approved the election of Mieke Van de Capelle and Reto Suter as new members of the Board of Directors, while Gabriele Sons, who had served since 2022, did not stand for re-election. The remaining board members were confirmed for re-election, ensuring continuity in governance. Additionally, the maximum total remuneration for the Board of Directors for the term until the next Annual General Meeting 2027, and for the Executive Committee for the 2027 financial year, were approved unchanged.
In a consultative vote, the 2025 Compensation Report received approval from 94.99% of votes cast, and the report on non-financial matters included in the 2025 Sustainability Report was approved by 91.62% of shareholders. These strong approval rates indicate broad support for Accelleron’s compensation practices and sustainability reporting, both critical as the company navigates the energy transition. A total of 497 shareholders with voting rights attended the meeting in person, representing 53.18% of the total share capital.
