The shareholders' meeting accepted the proposal of the Management Board and Supervisory Board and for the first time approved a dividend of EUR 0.04 per share for the financial year 2021.

In his speech, Alberto Buniato, CEO of STS Group AG, went into detail about the developments in the past financial year and illustrated the growth potential of the Group and the synergies that can be leveraged together with the expertise of the Adler Pelzer Group in the automotive sector, which has been growing for more than three decades: "In summary, we can look back on a satisfactory year in a challenging market environment. In addition, STS Group AG succeeded in achieving a net profit for the first time in the past financial year and thus proposed the distribution of a dividend of EUR 0.04 at the Annual General Meeting. Furthermore, we would primarily like to use the available financial resources for the further expansion of the business in order to support the future increase in value of our company."

With a representation of 81.12% of the share capital in the vote, the proposed resolutions of the administration were predominantly adopted with a large majority.
