Airbus has published the agenda for its Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for 14 April 2026 in Amsterdam, outlining proposed changes to its board composition and a dividend payment for the 2025 financial year.
Among the proposed resolutions is the appointment of Henriette Hallberg Thygesen as a non-executive board member for a three-year term. She would replace Prof Dr Feiyu Xu, whose mandate expires at the close of the meeting. Hallberg Thygesen has served as Chief Executive Officer of Danish defence and aerospace company Terma since 2024, and previously held senior executive roles at A.P. Møller - Maersk.
Shareholders will also be asked to approve the appointment of Oliver Zipse as a non-executive board member for a one-year term - the remainder of the mandate held by Victor Chu, who is to resign on the day of the AGM. Zipse has been Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW since 2019; his mandate with the German automotive group is due to conclude in May 2026.
In addition, the mandates of existing directors Mark Dunkerley, Stephan Gemkow, and Antony Wood are each proposed for renewal for three-year terms. Airbus renews board mandates annually in staggered blocks to maintain continuity and avoid the simultaneous departure of multiple directors.
Shareholders will further be asked to approve a gross dividend of €3.20 per share for the 2025 financial year, in line with the figure disclosed in the company's full-year results on 19 February 2026.
