Knorr-Bremse Raises Dividend by 9% and Elects Supervisory Board Again as Scheduled

• Annual General Meeting resolves dividend increase: distribution up 9% to € 1.90 per share
• Shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board elected again as scheduled
• Digitalization expert Dr. Christian Schlögel elected to the Supervisory Board to succeed Dr. Sigrid Nikutta

Munich, April 30, 2026 – The shareholders of Knorr‑Bremse AG approved a dividend increase of around 9% year-on-year at the Annual General Meeting. For the 2025 fiscal year a dividend of € 1.90 (previous year: € 1.75 EUR) will be paid for each share with dividend rights (161,200,000 shares), giving a total distribution of € 306.3 million. The company is thus continuing its consistent dividend policy and allowing shareholders to benefit substantially from the company’s success once again.

The next item on the agenda was the election of the shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board again as scheduled. The employee representatives had already been elected in mid-April. Five of the six shareholder representatives again stood for election and were re-elected by the Annual General Meeting. Dr. Reinhard Ploss, Stephan Sturm, Kathrin Dahnke, Dr. Stefan Sommer, and Julia Thiele-Schürhoff were re-elected to their positions, and immediately after the Annual General Meeting the Supervisory Board confirmed Dr. Ploss as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

Dr. Sigrid Nikutta, who had been a member of the Supervisory Board since 2022, decided not to stand for re-election. The shareholders elected Dr. Christian Schlögel as her successor. A recognized digitalization expert, he brings many years of leadership experience in international technology and industrial companies and will strengthen the Supervisory Board, particularly with his expertise in digital transformation, software, and artificial intelligence.

The Annual General Meeting was again held virtually. A total of 89.9% of the share capital of Knorr-Bremse was represented at the Annual General Meeting.
