All current members of the Board of Directors were re-elected for a further one-year term of office: Felix Weber (Chairman), Peter Athanas, Urs Baumann, Denis Hall, Katrina Machin and Monica Mächler. Thomas Buess was newly elected to the Board of Directors.
The shareholders approved an ordinary dividend of CHF 3.75 per share. The dividend will be paid from retained earnings, starting 22 April 2020.
