In the financial year, a capital increase in return for contribution in kind was carried out in connection with the dividend distribution to holders of Class A shares. As part of this capital increase, 814,723 new no-par-value registered Class A shares were issued to holders of Class A shares, with each share representing € 1.00 of the share capital. This was accounted for accordingly in the figures for the reporting year in respect of the weighted average of common shares in circulation for the Group as a whole and for the Port Logistics subgroup. For further information, please refer to Note 21.

The capital increase carried out in September 2020 in connection with the dividend distribution to the holders of Class A shares in return for contributions in kind caused the number of common shares in circulation to increase by 1,651,381. This change is reflected in the table above and did not have any significant effect on the earnings per share.

Basic earnings per share are calculated in accordance with 33 by dividing the profit after tax and minority interests attributable to the shareholders of the parent company by the average number of shares.

The diluted earnings per share are identical to the basic EPS, as there were no conversion or option rights in circulation during the financial year.
