Around 600 shareholders took up thyssenkrupp AG’s invitation to attend the in-person Annual General Meeting held at the RuhrCongress in Bochum today, Friday, January 30, 2026. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board took stock of the past fiscal year 2024/2025 and fielded questions from shareholders and their representatives.

“The company made great progress in its strategic reorientation and with the first steps toward its implementation over the past year. This is evident in substance and also in the very encouraging share price performance,” said Prof. Dr. Siegfried Russwurm, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of thyssenkrupp AG. “There has been a tremendous amount of work behind that. I thank the Executive Board and all employees of thyssenkrupp for their dedication and commitment in the past fiscal year.”

Far-reaching developments in fiscal year 2024/2025: “Year of decisions”

At the heart of thyssenkrupp AG’s transformation is the ACES 2030 future model and the associated reorganization of thyssenkrupp AG into a financial holding company in which strong, independent companies operate under one roof. The first major steps toward implementing ACES 2030 have already been taken. In particular, the company embarked on a new course for the steel business: The industrial future concept and signing of the collective restructuring agreement with the IG Metall trade union established the initial basis for steering thyssenkrupp Steel Europe back to firm ground.

The progress made at TKMS as part of the group’s transformation is also exemplary: The marine business was successfully floated on the stock market in the fall of 2025. The company is now listed on the MDAX. The price of the TKMS share is currently almost 20 percent higher than the initial price following its listing.

Annual General Meeting signals continuity in challenging times

The Annual General Meeting voted by a large majority to ratify the acts of both the members of the Supervisory Board and the members of the Executive Board for the 2024/2025 fiscal year.

As the term of office of seven members of the Supervisory Board of thyssenkrupp AG expired at the end of the Annual General Meeting, the shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board had to be newly elected today. The Annual General Meeting endorsed the Supervisory Board’s proposal and elected the existing members Birgit A. Behrendt, Dr. Patrick Berard, Dr. Wolfgang Colberg, Angelika Gifford, Dr. Bernhard Günther, Dr. Ingo Luge and Prof. Dr. Siegfried Russwurm to the Supervisory Board of thyssenkrupp AG for a further three years. Prof. Russwurm was also re-elected as Chairman of the Supervisory Board by the Supervisory Board at its inaugural meeting.

Last but not least, the Annual General Meeting endorsed the proposal by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board to pay shareholders a dividend of €0.15 per share for the 2024/2025 fiscal year.

CEO: Fiscal year 2025/2026 a “year of implementation”

“An important year of decisions lies behind us and a challenging year of implementation has begun. We took key decisions that, for the first time in many years, give the company genuine prospects for the future,” said Miguel López, CEO of thyssenkrupp AG. “All the actions are aimed at strengthening thyssenkrupp in the long term. We are keeping up the pace, delivering results and creating the basis for sustainable success.”
