Basler AG Shareholders Approve Dividend and Board Elections at Annual General Meeting

Basler AG, a leading provider of computer vision technology, held its annual general meeting today at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, where shareholders approved all proposed agenda items by a large majority. The meeting marked key decisions on dividend distribution, board elections, and compensation systems, reflecting the company’s continued focus on shareholder value and governance.

Among the approved items was the appropriation of retained earnings for the 2025 fiscal year, which includes a dividend of EUR 0.11 per dividend-bearing share. This dividend underscores Basler’s commitment to returning value to its shareholders while maintaining financial stability. The company’s financial performance in 2025 positioned it to reward investors despite ongoing challenges in the global semiconductor market.

Shareholders also discharged the members of the management board and supervisory board for their actions in 2025, signaling confidence in the leadership of CEO Hardy Mehl and the board. Additionally, the meeting approved the appointment of the auditor for the 2026 fiscal year, ensuring continued transparency and compliance.

In a significant governance move, shareholders elected Prof. Dr. Mirja Steinkamp to the supervisory board and confirmed Dr. Dietmar Ley in a by-election. Dr. Ley will succeed Horst W. Garbrecht, who stepped down effective the date of the meeting. Norbert Basler will continue as chairman of the supervisory board, with Dr. Ley serving as his deputy. These changes bring fresh expertise to the board, particularly in technology and strategic oversight.

The meeting also approved the compensation report for 2025 and the compensation system for management board members, aligning executive pay with long-term performance. An inflation adjustment bonus for supervisory board members for the 2025/2026 fiscal year was confirmed, addressing economic pressures.

Basler AG, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Ahrensburg, Germany, employs approximately 850 people across Europe, Asia, and North America. The company offers a broad portfolio of image processing hardware and software, and it collaborates with customers to solve vision application challenges. Details of the vote results, the presentation, and dividend information are available on the company’s investor relations page at Basler AG Annual General Meeting.

The approval of these agenda items highlights Basler’s stable governance and strategic direction. The new supervisory board composition, with Dr. Ley’s extensive experience, is expected to support the company’s growth in computer vision markets.
