Accelleron Shareholders Approve 20% Dividend Increase, Elect Dr. Monika Krusi as Chair
Accelleron's AGM approved a CHF 1.50 dividend, a 20% increase, and elected Dr. Monika Krusi as the new Chair, signaling continued focus on shareholder returns and leadership transition.
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, reflecting the company's strong financial performance and commitment to returning value to shareholders.
The meeting also marked a significant leadership transition as Dr. Monika Krusi was elected as the new Chair of the Board of Directors, succeeding Oliver Riemenschneider, who did not stand for re-election after serving since 2022. Dr. Krusi's election brings a fresh perspective to the board as the company navigates its role in the energy transition.

The AGM also approved the maximum total remuneration for the Board of Directors until the 2027 AGM and for the Executive Committee for the 2027 financial year, both unchanged from previous levels. In a consultative vote, the 2025 Compensation Report received 94.99% approval, and the report on non-financial matters in the 2025 Sustainability Report was approved with 91.62% of votes cast.
A total of 497 shareholders with voting rights attended the meeting in person, representing 53.18% of the total share capital. The strong turnout underscores shareholder engagement with the company's strategic direction.
