Swiss Prime Site Shareholders Approve All Board Proposals at Annual General Meeting

Shareholders of Swiss Prime Site AG approved all proposals presented by the Board of Directors during the Annual General Meeting held in Zug. The approvals came by a large majority, reflecting strong support for the company's leadership and strategic direction. The 2025 annual financial statements received formal approval from shareholders, along with the proposed dividend distribution of CHF 3.50 gross per registered share entitled to dividends. This dividend consists of two components: an ordinary dividend from retained earnings of CHF 1.75 gross per share and a withholding tax-free distribution from capital reserves of CHF 1.75 per share.

The payment of both dividend components will occur on March 31, 2026, resulting in a net payment of CHF 2.888 per registered share. Shares will trade ex-dividend beginning March 27, 2026. This dividend distribution represents a significant return to shareholders of Switzerland's largest real estate company, which maintains a portfolio valued at approximately CHF 28 billion. The company's properties focus on office, retail, and infrastructure uses primarily in prime locations within Zurich, Geneva, and Basel regions.

In addition to financial matters, shareholders endorsed the report on non-financial matters through a consultative vote, indicating support for the company's approach to environmental, social, and governance factors. The 2025 compensation report also received endorsement through a consultative vote. Shareholders separately approved binding resolutions for total compensation amounts for 2026 for both the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Board. These compensation approvals followed the company's established governance procedures.

All current members of the Board of Directors were re-elected for additional terms extending until the 2027 Annual General Meeting. The re-elected board members include Ton Buchner, who was also re-elected as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Additional board members re-elected include Reto Conrad, Barbara A. Knoflach, Gabrielle Nater-Bass, Thomas Studhalter, Detlef Trefzger, and Brigitte Walter. Barbara A. Knoflach, Gabrielle Nater-Bass, and Detlef Trefzger were re-elected to the Nomination and Compensation Committee for further terms.
