Proposals by the Board of Directors
Continuing the distribution policy of the last three years, the Board of Directors proposes to the general assembly a payment of CHF 2.25 per share out of paid-in capital, representing an increase of 12.5%; this form of distribution is generally tax-exempt for individuals domiciled in Switzerland.
Furthermore, the Board of Directors proposes the tax-exempt cancellation of 375'000 treasury shares that have been acquired over the past years.
Dr. Hans Baumgartner, Chairman of Private Equity Holding AG, Dr. Hans Christoph Tanner, Martin Eberhard and Bernhard Schürmann stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting 2013. Arnaud Studer will not stand for re-election for another term as Director.
Mantra Investissement SCA proposes to elect Mr. Fabrice Moyne, born 1979, French citizen, to the Board of Directors replacing Arnaud Studer. The Board of Directors does not support this proposal.
The invitation to the Annual General Meeting and the Annual Report 2012/2013 will be published on June 12, 2013.
