Ad hoc announcement of the listed company Swiss Estates AG on the conduct of a virtual Annual General Meeting
The listed company Swiss Estates AG informs in an ad hoc announcement that it was one of the first listed companies to hold a virtual Annual General Meeting on Friday 16 June 2023 and that it relied on the Konsento platform for the preparation and execution of the meeting. Shareholders were able to log into the Konsento AG portal, which was used to organise the virtual Annual General Meeting, at the time of the Annual General Meeting using individual access data, submit votes, take part in the discussion, submit motions and, of course, vote. The tool also recorded the voting results and transferred them to the minutes of the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders were also able to use this software to instruct the independent proxy and vote in advance. Shareholders could also (optionally) join in visually at the appropriate time.
