Dividend calendar background
Public limited companies hold an ordinary general meeting (AGM) at least once a year. This is stipulated by the German Stock Corporation Act. Anyone who holds a common share in the company can attend the general meeting as a shareholder with voting rights. Among other things, decisions are made here as to whether a dividend will be distributed to the shareholders. By paying dividends, companies give their shareholders a share of the profits.
In advance, the Management Board and Supervisory Board make a dividend proposal based on the previous financial year. The assembled shareholders vote on this at the AGM, so they can accept or reject it. 50 percent of the votes are enough for approval. As a rule, the proposal is accepted and the dividend payment is made accordingly.

If a dividend has been decided, it is due no later than the third bank working day after the Annual General Meeting. This day is marked as “Payday” in the dividend calendar. The sign “ex Div” or “ex D” can sometimes be seen in the course. On this trading day, investors must subtract the dividend paid from the share price in order to determine the correct price. In order to receive a dividend from companies for the past financial year, it is important to comply with the respective deadlines. This means that the share must be in the custody account on the dividend record date, which is usually the day of the general meeting.
What is a dividend yield?
The dividend yield is the ratio of the dividend to the company’s share price. It is considered an important indicator for evaluating stocks, as it provides information about how profitable a dividend is. The formula: (dividend / share price)* 100.
