Information on the latest meeting of the Board of Trustees and expected dividend income

At last week’s meeting of the Board of Trustees of the foundation maintaining the university, board members confirmed that Corvinus’ operations and the implementation of its development plans are secured for this year. They also discussed the concept of the Corvinus Educational Excellence framework and the university’s application to host the 2030 CEMS Graduation Ceremony. In relation to the university’s dividend income for this year, Richter also held its annual general meeting last week, following MOL’s earlier decision.

At the General Meeting of Gedeon Richter Plc., held on 29 April, shareholders approved the Board of Directors’ proposal to declare a dividend of HUF 120 billion. This amounts to HUF 656 per ordinary share, around 29 percent higher than last year. MOL had already decided earlier on the dividend for the 2025 financial year, setting it at HUF 300 per share, amounting to a total of HUF 241.2 billion. The Maecenas Foundation is entitled to 10 percent of each company’s dividend. Richter will pay the dividend for the 2025 financial year by 11 September at the latest, while MOL will make its payment in the third quarter.

Last week, the Board of Trustees of the Foundation maintaining the University also held a meeting. The Board confirmed that the funds needed for Corvinus’ operations in 2026, wage development, maintaining the Corvinus Scholarship, paying student scholarships, supporting international mobility programmes and carrying out academic developments are available.

The dividend income will also enable the University to implement its medium-term development plans, primarily by improving the quality of dormitory accommodation and reviewing the student benefits system. The dormitory strategy, which is nearing completion, identifies development opportunities that could provide accommodation with a higher level of comfort and a more favourable location than is currently available. Once the strategy is approved, preparations for the investments can begin.

In addition, the Board of Trustees was briefed on the concept of the Corvinus Educational Excellence framework, which is expected to be introduced soon, and supported the submission of the University’s application to host the CEMS 2030 Graduation Ceremony, a major international event.
