Leinfelden‑Echterdingen – At today’s Annual General Meeting of Daimler Truck Holding AG (“Daimler Truck”), shareholders approved a dividend of €1.90 per share, unchanged compared to the previous year. The dividend will be paid on May 11, 2026, underscoring the company’s commitment to sustainable shareholder returns in a volatile macroeconomic environment.

Continuity through reappointments of John O’Leary, Achim Puchert and Eva Scherer

In an earlier meeting, the Supervisory Board has decided to extend the contracts of John O’Leary, Achim Puchert and Eva Scherer as members of the Board of Management. The mandate of John O’Leary, responsible for Daimler Truck North America, was extended by additional two years until end of 2028. Achim Puchert, responsible for Mercedes-Benz Trucks and BharatBenz, was reappointed early until 2031. Eva Scherer, Chief Financial Officer, was reappointed until 2032. Joe Kaeser, Chairman of the Supervisory Board said: “The reappointments of John, Achim and Eva provide the leadership team with the necessary time horizon to drive the company’s rewarding transformation with foresight and continuity. Together with Karin Rådström, Andreas Gorbach and soon Yvonne Bettkober, we have a strong management team, which has the Supervisory Board’s full support in their efforts to create value to customers, shareholders and the society.”

New Supervisory Board appointments further strengthen collective expertise

With the conclusion of the 2026 Annual General Meeting, four shareholder representatives – Akihiro Eto, Laura Ipsen, Renata Jungo Brüngger, and Martin H. Richenhagen – left the Supervisory Board having not stood for re‑election. Continuity was ensured through the re‑election of Michael Brosnan, Marie Wieck, Harald Wilhelm, and Joe Kaeser, who continues as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. The election of Wayne Eyre, Claudia Nemat, Britta Seeger, and Vipin Sondhi further strengthens the Board’s collective expertise, particularly in the areas of key global growth markets, digital transformation, and global industrial leadership. In addition, Jan Gurander and Kurt Sievers, previously court‑appointed, were elected by the Annual General Meeting for the first time ensuring continued financial and technological expertise. Subsequent to the Annual General Meeting, Kurt Sievers was appointed by the Supervisory Board to the newly created role of Lead Independent Director, providing an additional point of contact for investors and further reinforcing independent oversight. With the implementation of a staggered board approach with differing terms in office, greater flexibility is given while maintaining the right level of stability. The resumes of all elected Board members can be found in the AGM publications (Information on the candidates proposed for election to the Supervisory Board).

Shareholders approve “Remuneration System 2027+” for the Board of Management

Shareholders also approved the revised Remuneration System 2027+ for the members of the Board of Management, fully aligned with the company’s “Stronger 2030” strategy initiated last year. The revised framework simplifies the remuneration structure and sharpens the link to financial and strategic targets, thereby strengthening performance-based remuneration and an ownership-oriented culture. Core components include share-based long-term remuneration, an increased focus on relative financial performance measures, and the systematic integration of strategic and ESG-related targets, clearly underpinning the principle of “pay for performance”. The new system will apply from the 2027 fiscal year.

Shareholders back auditor rotation

Finally, the Annual General Meeting approved the appointment of the auditors for both the 2026 and 2027 fiscal years, thereby implementing the mandatory auditor rotation while ensuring planning certainty and a smooth transition. KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft was reappointed for fiscal year 2026, while PricewaterhouseCoopers GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft will assume the audit mandate from fiscal year 2027.

Large majorities for all Management and Supervisory Board resolutions

With 74.17% of the share capital represented, all resolutions proposed by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board were approved by a clear majority. The actions of the members of both bodies for the 2025 financial year were ratified by individual vote with strong shareholder support.
