company in 2020. We are pleased that, despite their absence, they made active use of their voting rights and approved 
the proposals of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors notes with regret that Adrian Widmer has declared that 
he will not be available for a further term of office after the 2022 Annual General Meeting. Together with my
