Cuxhaven, March 22, 2017 – As a result of the successful end of the 2016 financial year, the Supervisory Board of PNE WIND AG consistently with the proposal of the Board of Management, today decided to suggest to the general meeting of shareholders on May 31, 2016 the distribution of a dividend of euro 0.04 and a special dividend of euro 0.08 per eligible share.

Chief Executive Officer Markus Lesser commented: “With the proposal to the general meeting of shareholders to declare a dividend of euro 0.04 and a special dividend of euro 0.08 per eligible share, we want to share the success we enjoyed last year with our shareholders.
