Knorr-Bremse Releases Annual Report and Announces Dividend Proposal

• Knorr-Bremse releases Annual Report for fiscal year 2022
• Virtual Annual General Meeting convened for May 5, 2023
• The Executive Board and Supervisory Board to propose € 1.45 dividend per share for fiscal year 2022 to Annual General Meeting

Munich, March 23, 2023 – Today, the Knorr-Bremse AG published the Annual Report for fiscal year 2022. As the issue of sustainability is one of Knorr-Bremse's top priorities, the Annual Report will no longer be available in print, but only in digital form and can be accessed on the website at Investor Relations / Financial Publications & Presentations.

The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of Knorr-Bremse AG have resolved to propose a dividend of € 1.45 per share for fiscal year 2022 to the Annual General Meeting. The distribution ratio is equivalent to around 46% of Group’s net income for 2022 and is thus in line with the existing dividend policy, which envisions a 40-50% payout to shareholders.

The dividend distribution is subject to the approval of the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, which has been convened for May 5, 2023: Investor Relations / Annual General Meeting. The Annual General Meeting of Knorr-Bremse AG will again be held virtually this year.
