Business Wire
In its meeting yesterday, the Supervisory Board of Sartorius AG
approved the recommendation by the Executive Board to submit a
proposal to the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on April 19, 2012, to
pay dividends of 0.82 euro per preference share (previous year:
0.62 euro) and 0.80 euro per ordinary share (previous year: 0.60
euro). If approved, the total amount disbursed under this proposal
would thus rise 32.8% to 13.8 million euros.
Furthermore, as the membership terms for the Supervisory Board
of Sartorius AG are due to expire at the end of this year's Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting, the Supervisory Board decided on the
personnel proposals to be presented to the Annual Shareholders’
Meeting for election of shareholder representatives to the
Supervisory Board.

h.c. Arnold Picot, Dr. Dirk Basting, Dr. Lothar Kappich and Prof.
Dr. Gerd Krieger. Prof. Dr. Klaus Rüdiger Trützschler and Prof. Dr.

Dr. Trützschler has been a member of the Supervisory Board since
November 2011. He had been appointed by court order after the death
of Supervisory Board member Dr. Michael Schulenburg. Prof. Dr.
