Augsburg, June 4, 2014 - Today, the Annual General Meeting of WashTec AG elected Dr. Günter Blaschke and Ulrich Bellgardt to the Supervisory Board with a vast majority.

All other resolutions proposed by the management to the Annual General Meeting were adopted by a very large majority too. Among others, the payment of a dividend for the financial year 2013 of EUR 0.32 per share and a special dividend in the same amount has been resolved.
