The shareholders of the APG|SGA SA have approved all the proposals of the Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting of 21 May 2014 in Geneva. A total dividend of CHF 12 will be paid out (dividend of CHF 10 and exceptional dividend of CHF 2). Daniel Hofer was elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The present shareholders, representing 84.6% of the registered shares with voting rights, have reelected three of five current members of the Board of Directors for another year. Dr. Daniel Hofer and Laurence Debroux were elected as member of the Board of Directors as a replacement of Jean-François Decaux and Paul-Henry Binz, who resigned. Dr. Daniel Hofer was elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors with 99.8% of the represented voting rights. The Board of Directors is now composed of Dr. Daniel Hofer (Chairman), Gilles Samyn (Vice-Chairman), Laurence Debroux, Robert Schmidli and Markus Scheidegger.

The annual report, the annual accounts and the consolidated financial statements for 2013 have been approved and discharge was granted to the entire Board of Directors and the senior management for the year 2013.

The system of remuneration for the Board of Directors and the senior management has been approved by 97.5% on an advisory vote.

In his speech to the General Meeting, the former Chairman, Jean-François Decaux, expressed his satisfaction with the development of the company during the past four years. With the new company management, APG|SGA succeeded, after a difficult phase, to reach new records of dividends, share price and company’s profit. The continuity of the senior management of the company is assured by the nomination of Dr. Daniel Hofer, former CEO of APG|SGA, as new Chairman of the Board of Directors and by the appointment of Markus Ehrle, member of the senior management, as CEO of the company.
