Annual General Meeting of Scout24 AG resolves dividend and paves the way for further capital repayments
In his speech, CEO Tobias Hartmann addressed the most important strategic, organizational and operational developments of the 2019 financial year. He illustrated the business model of the Scout24 Group, which focuses on the real estate segment, with examples and emphasized its excellent strategic positioning and high growth potential: "With ImmoScout24, we want to develop from a classifieds portal to a fully networked digital marketplace of the future. The ever-increasing interconnectedness opens up additional sources of revenue and associated growth opportunities for us. Our focus is on the further digitization of real estate transactions." Dr Dirk Schmelzer, CFO of Scout24 AG, explained in his speech: "Through the successful sale of AutoScout24 we have realized considerable cash proceeds, some of which we have already used to repay debt. We therefore have a very healthy balance sheet structure in the current Covid-19 crisis. We want our shareholders to participate in this, too. In addition to the current share buyback program and this year's dividend payment, we will distribute a further EUR 1.2 billion to our shareholders in the coming year." The reports and speeches of the Supervisory Board and Management Board were broadcast live on the Scout24 AG website. Duly registered shareholders were given the opportunity to follow the entire Annual General Meeting live via a protected internet service.
