Cadonau is the chairman and CEO of dormakaba Holding AG, a global provider of products, solutions, and services for access to buildings and rooms. Cadonau will bring senior leadership and international experience developing solutions combining hardware, software, and services to the board. Subject to his election, Cadonau will take up his mandate on April 1, 2021.

“Riet Cadonau has held senior leadership roles in global and Swiss technology companies for more than thirty years. As a long-tenured CEO of dormakaba as well as serving on multiple boards, he will bring a wealth of experience in global business, M&A, enterprise relationships, and Swiss and international investor bases,” said Wendy Becker, Logitech’s chairperson. “We are fortunate that he will join our board when he steps down as CEO of dormakaba.”

Modified Annual General Meeting

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and out of concern for the health and safety of our shareholders, employees, and board, Logitech will forgo hosting shareholders at an in-person AGM this year. Shareholders may exercise their voting rights exclusively through the independent proxy. Questions related to company business or meeting proposals will be addressed by management. Full details will be provided with the proxy materials.

Additional information regarding the nominees and other proposals for the AGM will be posted on the Company's website at http://ir.logitech.com later this month.
