ProCredit Holding AG, the parent company of ProCredit group, held its Annual General Meeting for 2026 in Frankfurt am Main, where shareholders approved a dividend payout of EUR 0.47 per common share. The in-person meeting represented 63.92% of the share capital, and all resolutions proposed were passed.
The dividend, totaling EUR 27.7 million for the 2025 fiscal year, aligns with the Group’s dividend policy, which calls for distributing approximately one-third of consolidated net income. This payout underscores the company's commitment to returning value to shareholders while maintaining capital for growth.
Shareholders also ratified the acts of the Management Board and Supervisory Board members for the 2025 financial year and approved the remuneration report for that period. BDO AG Wirtschaftsprufungsgesellschaft, Hamburg, was reappointed as auditor for the 2026 fiscal year, responsible for reviewing annual and consolidated financial statements as well as interim reports.
In a significant governance move, the General Meeting elected two new members to the Supervisory Board: Mr. Eelko Bronkhorst, Managing Director of Crosspath International B.V., and Mr. Markus Neukirch, a member of the Management Board of Deutsche WertpapierService Bank AG. At a subsequent board meeting, Mr. Bronkhorst was elected Chairman, succeeding Rainer Peter Ottenstein. These changes bring fresh perspectives to the board, particularly in international business and financial services.
For business and technology leaders, this development signals ProCredit’s continued focus on stability and growth in its core markets. The dividend approval indicates financial health, while board refreshment may influence strategic direction, especially in digital banking and sustainable finance. The ProCredit group operates commercial banks for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and private individuals, with a focus on economic, ecological, and social development in South Eastern and Eastern Europe, South America, and Germany.
