Tax-optimized dividend from capital contribution reserves
At the request of the Board of Directors, the General Meeting decided to pay an increased dividend from capital contribution reserves of CHF 6.50 compared to the previous year pro registered shares to be paid out (previous year: CHF 6.25). It is exempt from withholding tax and, for private individuals residing in Switzerland, also exempt from income tax.
Elections to the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee
The previous members of the Board of Directors, Dr. Andreas Hauswirth (President), Christoph Arpagaus, Anouk Marazzi, Stephan A. Müller and Ueli Winzenried were re-elected for another one-year term. All members of the Board of Directors were also elected to the Compensation Committee for a term of one year.
Planned capital increase
Those present were informed that the Board of Directors intends to carry out a capital increase in the second half of the year while preserving the subscription rights of existing shareholders. With the timely investment of the additional funds from the planned capital increase, particularly in specific project developments, Espace’s profitable growth path is to be continued sustainably.
