Wienerberger proposed to the AGM that a dividend of € 0.60 per share be paid out for 2020, consistent with its commitment to a well-balanced, long-term dividend policy. In view of the ongoing global Covid-19 pandemic and associated challenges in Wienerberger's markets, the Managing Board and the Supervisory Board of Wienerberger decided not to increase their dividend proposal over the previous year's level. The AGM agreed to the dividend proposal submitted by the Managing Board and Supervisory Board, and has set Monday, May 10, 2021 as the payment date. The actions of the Supervisory Board and the Managing Board in 2020 were approved by the AGM, and Deloitte Audit Wirtschaftsprüfungs GmbH, Vienna, was elected statutory auditor and Group auditor for the current business year 2021. The AGM also resolved to support the Remuneration Report of the company in an advisory vote.

Following careful deliberation, the Supervisory Board recommended that the number of members of the Supervisory Board be reduced from the current level of eight to seven, and this proposal has been approved by the AGM. Acting Supervisory Board members David Davies and Peter Johnson have been re-elected to the Supervisory Board. As originally announced in January, Christian Jourquin retired from the Supervisory Board as of the end of March 2021 before the end of his mandate. Ms. Kati Ter Horst was co-opted as a new member of the Supervisory Board for the remaining term of office of Ms. Caroline Grégoire Sainte Marie, who stepped down for personal reasons in 2020.
