voestalpine AG passes resolution of new capital allocation- and dividend
policy

voestalpine AG’s Management Board today passed the resolution of a new
capital allocation strategy, which will support the implementation of the
2030+ corporate strategy by providing clear guidelines for investment
decisions, management of the balance sheet structure and the dividend
policy.

A key component of the new strategy is the revised dividend policy. The
Executive Board’s annual dividend proposal to the Annual General Meeting
will be calculated as follows in future:

• 30% of earnings per share (EPS), provided that the leverage ratio
(calculated as net financial debt/EBITDA) does not exceed 2.0 (after
dividend payment)
• In any case, a minimum dividend of EUR 0.40 per share.

Additional distributions and/or share buy-backs are possible in the event
of exceptionally good earnings and a leverage ratio within target range
(net financial debt/EBITDA less than 2 after dividend payment).

This model shall support a balance between performance-related yet stable
shareholder participation in the company’s success on the one hand and
securing a resilient and solid capital structure for future growth on the
other.

The new capital allocation and dividend policy will apply from the current
2025/26 financial year and will not affect the dividend of EUR 0.60
proposed by the Management Board and Supervisory Board at the Annual
General Meeting on July 2, 2025. The dividend policy will be reviewed at
four-year intervals.
