Nassau, 2 June 2021 - Leifheit AG (ISIN DE0006464506), one of the leading brand suppliers of household products in 
Europe, successfully held its 2021 Annual General meeting today. To avoid health risks for shareholders, employees and 
the members of Group organs in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Annual General Meeting was again held in virtual 
form. At the event, 62.63% of the share capital was represented. 
All agenda items were approved by the Annual General Meeting by a large majority. The Annual General Meeting approved 
the payment of a dividend of EUR 1.05 per eligible no-par-value bearer share for financial year 2020. KPMG AG 
Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Frankfurt/Main, was appointed as auditor for financial year 2021. 
At the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Management reported in detail on the successful business development of the 
Leifheit Group in 2020. It also gave an overview of the results for the first quarter of 2021, during which the Group 
was able to continue its growth course from the previous year. Finally, it provided an outlook for the remaining 
financial year, which will continue to be influenced by the implementation of the Scaling up Success growth strategy, 
as well as by challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Henner Rinsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Leifheit AG, says: "In financial year 2020, we focused on 
implementing our Scaling up Success growth strategy in order to create the conditions for sustainable turnover growth 
and increased profitability. This strategy generated positive effects in all sectors in 2020, and continues to be the 
basis for our performance success. The TV advertising for the brands Soehnle and Leifheit also contributed 
significantly to the positive business development in the first quarter of 2021. Our current TV campaigns - for 
example, for the innovative Regulus Aqua PowerVac cordless vacuum wiper with its 'very good' rating or the Soehnle 
Style Sense Safe 300 bathroom scale with its 'very good' score - are continuing to present our consumers in the 
important home market of Germany with a select range of products. At the same time, we are becoming more and more 
active in the international markets and will be advertising on TV in Italy and France for the very first time." 
The detailed voting results for the respective agenda items will be published on the website at agm.leifheit-group.com.
