At the Annual General Meeting on May 5, 2026, the shareholders approved, by a large majority, the transfer of the Post & Parcel Germany division to a separate company and the renaming of the listed Deutsche Post AG to DHL AG. Both measures are expected to take effect in the second half of the year following entry in the commercial register. With this restructuring, the Group's historically evolved legal organization will be aligned with its established management structure.
In June, the Supervisory Board appointed Joe Joseph as the Group’s Chief Financial Officer effective June 1, 2027. He will succeed Melanie Kreis, who will fulfill but not extend her contract, which runs until May 31, 2027.
