EFG International outlines key proposals relating to its Annual General Meeting

Zurich, 6 April 2017

EFG International today published its invitation to the Annual General Meeting, which is scheduled to be held on 28 April 2017.

For the 2016 financial year, the Board of Directors of EFG International proposes to the Annual General Meeting the payment of a dividend by way of a distribution out of reserves from capital contributions of CHF 0.25 per share (free of Swiss withholding tax). As previously announced, this is unchanged from the dividend distributed in the prior year.

The ex-dividend date is 3 May 2017, the dividend record date is 4 May 2017, and the payment of the cash distribution is scheduled for 5 May 2017.

The current members of the Board of Directors all stand for re-election for another one-year term of office except Erwin R. Caduff, who decided not to stand for re-election. John A. Williamson stands for re-election as Chairman of the Board of Directors for a one-year term of office.

Further proposals to the Annual General Meeting include:

  • the re-election of all current members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee except Erwin R. Caduff, and the election of Steven M. Jacobs and Bernd-A. von Maltzan as new members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee;

  • the increase of conditional capital in connection with the company's equity incentive plan and the corresponding amendment to EFG International's Articles of Association;

  • amendment to the Articles of Association regarding the compensation of the Board of Directors, permitting the payment of the fixed fee for the members of the Board of Directors not only in cash but also in whole or in part in equity or equity linked instruments;

  • other amendments to the Articles of Association;

  • the approval of the compensation of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee;

  • other items.
