At today's Annual General Meeting, the shareholders of SIG voted in favour of all the Board of Directors' proposals by a large majority.

The AGM approved all proposals including a cash dividend of CHF 0.42 per registered share, to be paid out of capital contribution reserves. The payment of the dividend is scheduled for 28 April 2021.

The AGM also approved the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Board of Directors until the 2022 AGM and of the Group Executive Board for the financial year 2022 and, in a non-binding advisory vote, the Compensation Report 2020.

The AGM further re-elected all members of the Board of Directors and of the Compensation Committee, elected Martine Snels and Abdallah al Obeikan as new members of the Board of Directors and confirmed Andreas Umbach as Chairman of the Board of Directors for a one-year term.
