Robert Maersk Uggla, Chairman of the Board of Directors, opened the annual shareholders’ meeting of A.P. Moller – Maersk with a review of the company’s 2025 financial results and strategic priorities. During the meeting, shareholders supported the board’s key proposals regarding capital structure, dividend policy, and corporate governance.
Shareholders approved a reduction of DKK 1.133 billion in share capital through the cancellation of previously repurchased Class A and B shares under the buyback programs announced in February and August 2025. As a result, the company’s total share capital was updated to DKK 14.695 billion, and corresponding amendments were made to the articles of association. A dividend of DKK 480 per DKK 1,000 share was also approved, and the audited annual report for 2025 was approved.
Following the vote, board members, including Robert Mærska Uggla, were re-elected, the remuneration report was approved, and the mandate of auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers Statsautoriseret Revisionspartnerselskab was extended. Several minority shareholder proposals, concerning strengthening the ESG agenda, disclosing human rights procedures, and ending military shipments, were not supported, as the board noted that the company already operates within the framework of existing regulations and internal policies.
