In 1997, a conditional share capital of CHF 130’000 reserved for employee participation plans was approved. The conditional share capital consisted of 1’300’000 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.10 each. Since 1999, several employee participation plans have been introduced based on this conditional share capital. Between February 2011 and June 2015 the employee participation plans were funded with treasury shares. In 2022 a total of 7’592 options (share option plans) were exercised and 45’741 shares transferred (share plans), increasing the Company’s share capital by CHF 5’333.30 and decreasing the Company’s conditional share capital by 53’333 shares (2021: a total of 20’139 options were exercised and 49’124 shares transferred, increasing the share capital by CHF 6’926 and decreasing the conditional share capital by 69’263 shares).

 

On April 26, 2006, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders approved the creation of additional conditional share capital for the purpose of future business development.
