RBR to conduct a webcast for institutional investors and analysts on March 30th, 2017 15h00 British Summer Time (BST) 16h00 Central European Summertime (CEST) | ||||
After several months of private engagement and discussion with the management and board of directors of GAM, that regrettably failed to result in any meaningful progress, RBR has decided to take their plan directly to the shareholders. RBR considers that decisive measures urgently need to be implemented to revert the steep current downward trend and to enable GAM to return to growth.
RBR has assembled a capable team able to balance improving operating efficiency with actions to strengthen the brand, to foster growth and to navigate and to respond to the rapidly changing market environment that GAM faces.
RBR proposes to elect the following candidates to the board of directors: 1) Kasia Robinski as Chairwoman and as member of the Compensation Committee 2) William Raynar as a member of the board of directors and a member of the Compensation Committee 3) Rudolf Bohli as a representative of RBR
Furthermore, RBR will re-elect the current members of the Board of Directors Hugh Scott-Barrett, Nancy Mistretta and Benjamin Meuli as well as newly elect David J. Jacob as a member of the Board of Directors. RBR will however vote against the re-election of Diego du Monceau and Ezra Field as members of the Board of Directors as well as against the election of Hugh Scott-Barrett as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The details of the plan and the individuals mentioned above will be presented to you during the webcast: Webcast and additional materials: www.freegam.ch Direct link to webcast: https://pgi.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1141962
