Munich - MTU Aero Engines AG is postponing its Annual General Meeting due to the coronavirus crisis. It was decided today that it will not be held as scheduled on May 7, 2020. The decision was adopted at today's Supervisory Board meeting. 'No new date has yet been set due to the very unclear situation at present,' said CEO Reiner Winkler. 'The Annual General Meeting will be held later within the legally prescribed period of eight months after the end of the fiscal year.' The company will announce the new date of the Annual General Meeting as soon as possible.

For the same reason, the Supervisory Board today approved an adjustment of the Executive Board's profit distribution proposal to the Annual General Meeting. In view of the latest developments of the global coronavirus pandemic, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board will now propose to the Annual General Meeting to bring forward the net profit for fiscal year 2019 to new account. Based on the developments in the coming weeks and the ensuing consequences for MTU Aero Engines AG's business development, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board will revise this proposal and issue an updated proposal to the Supervisory Board, if appropriate.
