The shareholders of Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG approved all proposals of the board of directors at the 123rd Annual General Meeting. The payout for the financial year 2020 amounts to CHF 1100 gross per registered share and CHF 110 gross per participation certificate. The meeting also confirmed the re-election of the chairman and all current members of the board of directors and the compensation committee until the end of the next AGM.
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions and uncertainties, the meeting was held without the physical presence of shareholders, as in the previous year. Voting rights could only be exercised via the independent proxy. Ernst Tanner, executive chairman of the board of directors of Lindt & Sprüngli, led through the agenda.
The shareholders confirmed the re-election of the chairman and all members of the board of directors and the compensation committee. Ernst Tanner, says: "On behalf of the entire board of directors, I thank our shareholders most sincerely. We particularly appreciate the great trust in our company in these extraordinary times."
The meeting approved the continued attractive payout policy. This results in a payout per registered share of CHF 1100 gross and per participation certificate of CHF 110 gross. In addition, PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Zurich, was re-elected as auditor and Dr Patrick Schleiffer, attorney-at-law of Lenz & Staehelin, was re-elected as independent proxy for the financial year 2021, respectively until the end of the next AGM.
The independent proxy represented 109,371 votes, corresponding to 91% of the voting capital.
