Annual General Meeting 2023

After the conclusion of its first full financial year as an independent, listed company, the second Annual General Meeting of Daimler Truck Holding AG ("Daimler Truck") took place on 21 June, 2023.

Voting results

At the Annual General Meeting, the shareholders of Daimler Truck Holding AG approved all of the resolutions proposed by the management with a clear majority. The proposal for the first dividend payment of €1.30 per share was approved. The actions for the 2022 financial Year of the members of the Board of Management and the members of the Supervisory Board have been approved by means of individual votes with a large majority. The share capital was represented with a presence of 75.97%.

Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting approved the new remuneration system for the members of the Board of Management by a large majority of 96.62%. In the future, the variable remuneration components of the Board of Management will be even more dependent on whether non-financial targets in addition to financial ESG targets have been achieved. Thus, the new remuneration model is even more aligned to the sustainability interests of shareholders.

In addition, a resolution was passed to amend the Articles of Incorporation to authorize the Board of Management to provide for the General Meeting each in 2024 and 2025 to be held in presence or in virtual format.

Recording of opening speeches

Last year was a special year for Daimler Truck: It was the first full financial year as an independent company and also the most profitable year in the company's entire history. The company quickly set the course for the transformation to zero-emission vehicles and thus possible new business models. In addition, focus, efficiency and speed have increased. This underscores that the step toward independence was absolutely the right one.

Daimler Truck underlines growth targets

Daimler Truck reaffirms at the Annual General Meeting its strategic ambitions: Continuous profitable growth and a leading role in the transformation toward sustainable transportation. A core element of this is the dual technology strategy. In addition to battery-electric drives, the Company is also focusing on hydrogen. The future product portfolio is developed based on these two drive concepts. By the end of 2022, the Group already had eight zero-emission truck and bus models in series production - not only in Europe, but also in the USA, South America and Japan. In the U.S. market, two more models will be added to the all-electric truck portfolio this year.

 

We have a clear picture of the future of transport - and we are playing a decisive role in shaping this future. We are making very good progress with our transformation and we are successfully working on our profitability, as our business figures show. I am therefore very confident about the future of Daimler Truck. This applies to 2023 - and it applies even more so to 2030. We want to take advantage of the enormous opportunities that this historic transformation of our industry will bring. We are determined to take Daimler Truck to a new, next level.
