At its Annual General Meeting on June 23, 2026, Blue Cap AG shareholders approved all proposals with a large majority, including a record dividend of EUR 1.60 per share. The dividend, consisting of a base dividend of EUR 0.65 and a special dividend of EUR 0.95, reflects the successful sale of portfolio company con-pearl during the 2025 financial year. CEO Dr. Henning von Kottwitz stated, 'The renewed record dividend reflects the strength of our business model. We are allowing our shareholders to participate directly in the value realized from the sale of con-pearl while still maintaining sufficient financial resources to actively shape Blue Cap’s next phase of growth.'
The approval of the dividend underscores the company's ability to generate shareholder value through its Buy-Transform-Sell strategy. With 64.7% of voting share capital represented, the meeting also confirmed the Management Board's actions. The company emphasized that part of the exit proceeds from con-pearl have been reinvested into the acquisition of Janoschka AG in early 2026, an internationally active provider of prepress solutions for the packaging industry. COO Henning Eschweiler noted, 'The sale of con-pearl once again demonstrated how we create and realize sustainable value through active transformation. At the same time, with Janoschka we have acquired an investment that is an excellent strategic fit and offers significant value creation potential.'
Blue Cap's strong liquidity position remains a key advantage, providing flexibility for future value-enhancing acquisitions. The company targets medium-sized B2B companies in the DACH region with revenues between EUR 20 million and EUR 200 million, holding majority stakes in sectors such as Adhesives & Coating Technology, Plastics Technology, and Prepress. The Group employs around 2,000 people and is listed on the Frankfurt and Munich stock exchanges.
