EFG publishes agenda for its Annual General Meeting 2024

EFG International today published the agenda and invitation for its Annual General Meeting, which will be held on 22 March 2024 in Zurich.

Administrative details for the Annual General Meeting:

Shareholders can attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in person in Zurich or they can vote online or by granting a power of attorney and issuing voting instructions to the independent proxy. Further details on the AGM and information on how to grant a power of attorney are provided in the “Administrative details” section of the invitation to the AGM that was sent to shareholders today.

Selected agenda items:

As announced on 21 February 2024, the Board of Directors of EFG International is proposing to the AGM that a dividend of CHF 0.55 per registered share be paid for the 2023 financial year. This represents an increase of 22% compared to the dividend for the 2022 financial year. The distribution will be paid out of reserves from capital contributions and will be free from Swiss withholding tax. Subject to shareholder approval at the AGM on 22 March 2024, the ex-dividend date will be 26 March 2024 and the payment of the cash distribution is scheduled for 28 March 2024.

As previously announced Freiherr Bernd-A. von Maltzan, who served as a member of the Board over the past eleven years, will not stand for re‑election at the forthcoming AGM. Prasanna Gopalakrishnan is proposed for election as a new member of the Board of Directors (see media release of 21 February 2024). The Chair and all other current members of the Board of Directors will stand for re-election for a further one-year term of office ending at the conclusion of the next AGM.

Further proposals to the AGM include but are not limited to:

  • The approval of the management report, financial statements and consolidated financial statements for 2023.
  • The vote on the Sustainability Report 2023.
  • The approval of the compensation of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee.
  • The election of Philip J. Lofts as a new member of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee to replace Freiherr Bernd-A. von Maltzan, who decided not to stand for re-election as a member of the Board of Directors, and the re-election of all other current members of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
