Amadeus Fire AG held its Annual General Meeting virtually on May 28, 2026, with shareholders approving all agenda items by overwhelming majorities. The meeting, broadcast live from Frankfurt/Main, allowed shareholders to participate remotely and ask questions, which the Management Board addressed transparently.
A key outcome was the approval of new Authorised Capital 2026, with 78.17% of votes in favor. This authorizes the company to increase share capital by up to 30% over the next five years, replacing the previous Authorised Capital 2021. For HR vendors, this signals potential future equity financing for strategic investments, which could include acquisitions or further digital transformation initiatives relevant to the human resources technology market.
The Management Board and Supervisory Board were discharged for the 2025 financial year by large majorities, and the remuneration report was also approved. The election of auditors for 2026 and sustainability reporting, as well as the re-election of shareholder representatives to the Supervisory Board, received broad support.
Notably, the proposal to not pay a dividend due to a negative consolidated result and to carry forward net retained profit was approved by nearly 100% (99.88%) of votes. This decision, according to the Management Board, reflects shareholders' confidence in responsible corporate management and the strategic direction of the Amadeus Fire Group amid economically turbulent times. For vendors selling into the HR space, this underscores a focus on long-term stability and reinvestment over short-term payouts, which may influence how they position their services to Amadeus Fire as a client.
Despite a challenging economic environment, the group reported being on track in the first quarter of 2026. Investments continue in digital transformation, particularly in modern learning platforms and IT infrastructure, supporting the 'Corporate AI Learning' initiative. The Management Board reaffirmed guidance for 2026, expecting consolidated revenue between EUR 362 million and EUR 394 million and operating EBITA* between EUR 20 million and EUR 31 million. These investments in AI learning platforms present opportunities for HR technology vendors specializing in AI-driven training and development solutions.
