NORMA Group SE (ISIN DE000A1H8BV3, “NORMA Group”) today held its Annual General Meeting in Frankfurt am Main with shareholders present. The shareholders approved all proposed resolutions, each by a large majority.
Capital reduction including public share buyback offer and dividend
The capital measures approved include a capital reduction by way of the cancellation of shares following a public buyback offer, as well as the renewal of the authorization to acquire company shares equal to up to 10 percent of the company’s share capital.
As part of the capital reduction, shares will be acquired through a public buyback offer with a volume of up to EUR 208 million and subsequently canceled. With this move, NORMA Group is implementing the second phase of its capital repayment plan following the sale of the former Water Management business unit.
Together with the public share buyback offer already completed in the spring of 2026, shareholders will receive a total of up to EUR 260 million from the proceeds of the sale of the former Water Management business unit. The public buyback offer will be made upon completion of the required legal formalities. The Management Board will determine further details in a timely manner based on the shareholders’ resolution.
For financial year 2025, a dividend of EUR 0.14 per no-par-value share entitled to a dividend will be paid out (2024: EUR 0.40 per share). This corresponds to a distribution volume of around EUR 4.0 million and a payout ratio of around 31 percent of the adjusted net profit for the year, in line with NORMA Group’s long-term dividend policy.
In her remarks to shareholders, CEO Birgit Seeger noted: “With the transformation to New NORMA, we have clearly defined a strategic direction focused on consistently unlocking our potential, sustainably strengthening our position and tapping into new avenues for growth. Our goal is to position NORMA Group as a leading provider of advanced and reliable joining solutions in the areas of Industry Applications and Mobility & New Energy – extending well beyond the industries we have traditionally served.”
Benjamin Schmid is new member of the Supervisory Board
The shareholders elected Benjamin Schmid, investment partner at Teleios Capital Partners LLC, as a new member of the Supervisory Board. He succeeds former Supervisory Board members Kerstin Müller-Kirchhofs and Dr. Erek Speckert, who stepped down from their positions with effect from the close of the Annual General Meeting. The Annual General Meeting approved an amendment to the Articles of Association that will reduce the size of the Supervisory Board from six to five members.
Votes cast at the Annual General Meeting represented around 19.4 million of the 31.8 million shares issued, corresponding to 60.93 percent of the share capital of NORMA Group SE. Detailed voting results for all agenda items as well as the CEO’s speech are available on the NORMA Group website.
