The Goldbach AGM approves the waiver of a dividend payment
At the Annual General Meeting on Monday, the shareholders of the Goldbach Group approved all the proposals of the Board of Directors and thus also waived a dividend distribution. The three members of the Board of Directors proposed by Tamedia were also elected.
The Annual General Meeting of the Goldbach Group, which is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, approved all the proposals of the Board of Directors by a large majority on April 9, 2018; 3,529,585 voting shares, or 70.62% of the voting shares, were present or represented. The annual report and the annual financial statements as well as the consolidated financial statements for the 2017 reporting year were approved. Due to the ongoing takeover bid by Tamedia, no dividend was distributed, as this would be deducted from the purchase price in the event of completion. In response to a question from a shareholder, the Chairman of the Board of Directors explained the amount of the share price as set for the takeover of Goldbach by Tamedia.
All previous members of the Board of Directors were re-elected and have undertaken to step down from their positions as members or Chairman of the Board of Directors with effect from the completion of Tamedia's public takeover bid on February 2, 2018. In the event of a successful takeover by Tamedia, the three new members of the Board of Directors Christoph Tonini, Sandro Macciacchini and Marcel Kohler have already been elected.
