If all authorized shares were issued, dilution would be approximately 8.14%.

Analysis · SAP · Technology
The proposed €2.50 per share dividend for fiscal year 2025 represents a significant return to shareholders, reflecting the company's strong financial performance. Additionally, the renewal of the authorization to issue up to €10 billion in convertible or warrant-linked bonds and create corresponding contingent capital provides SAP with continued flexibility for future financing needs. While this authorization could lead to potential dilution of approximately 8.14% if fully utilized, it has not been exercised in its previous term, indicating it serves as a strategic option rather than an immediate plan for capital deployment. The re-election of key Supervisory Board members, including the Chairperson and his designated successor, ensures continuity in corporate governance.
