Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Hannover Re in the year under review was held on 4 May 2010 in the Kuppelsaal of Hannover Congress Centrum. Around 660 shareholders, shareholder and bank representatives as well as guests accepted our invitation to come to Hannover in order to learn about the development of our business in the financial year just-ended. This means that roughly 71% of the share capital was represented. In his address to the meeting Chief Executive Officer Ulrich Wallin took the opportunity to look back on a superb 2009 financial year, in which the company was for the first time able to show an operating profit (EBIT) in excess of EUR 1 billion after positive non-recurring effects.

In the subsequent voting the Annual General Meeting adopted by a large majority the resolutions proposed by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board and also approved for the first time the new system of remuneration for the members of Hannover Re’s Executive Board.

The next Annual General Meeting is scheduled for 3 May 2011 and will again be held at Hannover Congress Centrum.
