Within the invitation the shareholders are informed of business items to be negotiated during the assembly, as well as motions proposed by the BoD, and by shareholders who have demanded that a given business item be placed on the agenda. Extraordinary General Assemblies (EGAs) are convened as necessary and as defined by legal precedent. Shareholders representing at least one tenth of total share capital can demand convocation of an EGA at any time.

Composition of the Agenda for the AGA: Shareholders who represent shares with a nominal value of CHF 1,000,000 can demand that a business item is placed on the agenda. This request must be submitted in writing to the Chairman of the BoD at least 40 days prior to AGA.
