Vossloh AGM: Looking back on a successful 2020 fiscal year, strong start into the current fiscal year

• Rail as a mode of transport plays a key role in achieving climate targets
• CEO Oliver Schuster explains in his speech Vossloh's outstanding positioning
• All agenda items received a high approval, including a dividend of € 1.00 per share

The increasing amount of traffic in the next few years means Vossloh can look confidently to the future. "Programs to promote rail-based mobility on an unprecedented scale have been launched worldwide in recent months. Over the coming decades, the importance of rail-based mobility will be hard to overestimate in terms of its contribution to meeting a steadily growing demand for transportation and achieving climate targets," Schuster explains in his speech. In relation to the strategic approach of Vossloh, he continues: "Our revised and refined Group strategy is based on three main pillars: strengthening our existing product and service business, expanding the latter to include digital-based, smart maintenance solutions, and a series of measures relating to the way we would like to work in the future and what we attach particular importance to in this respect. The topic of sustainability plays a particularly central role here, which we now have embedded in our corporate DNA more firmly than ever before."

At today's Annual General Meeting, all the items on the agenda proposed by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board were approved by large majorities. This includes the proposal to pay a dividend of €1.00 per share. In total, around 74 percent of the share capital was represented at Vossloh AG's Annual General Meeting.
