Organizational Principles, Election to Board of Directors and Terms of Office

Other activities and vested interests
Dr. Thomas Schmuckli is a member of the Bossard family, which has 100 percent control over Kolin Holding AG. The members of the board of directors do not perform any activities outside of the Bossard Group other than the mandates listed on pages 85 to 89 and therefore do not have any significant business relationships with Bossard Holding AG or one of the subsidiaries. Furthermore, they do not have any other significant external interests.

Allowed number of mandates
According to article 44 of the articles of association, a member of the board of directors may, including his function for the company, at the same time take on a maximum of ten mandates, whereby chairmanships count as two mandates. A maximum of four mandates may be in listed companies. If the mandates assumed relate to legal entities that belong to the same group or are similarly related in terms of management, these mandates are considered a single mandate. There are no restrictions on the number of mandates (i) for mandates assumed in legal entities that are directly or indirectly controlled by Bossard Holding AG or that directly or indirectly control Bossard Holding AG, or (ii) if, in exercising the function for the Bossard Group, a mandate in another, related legal entity is exercised.

Elections and terms of office
According to the articles of association, the board of directors consists of five to nine members. The chair of the board of directors and the other members of the board of directors are elected by the annual general meeting of shareholders for a period of one year (until the next ordinary annual general meeting of shareholders). Members are elected on an individual basis. The annual general meeting of shareholders also elects the chair of the board of directors. There are no statutory limits to the term of office; members may be re-elected. According to the OBR, however, a member of the board of directors shall offer to step down at the annual general meeting of shareholders following her/his 70th birthday. Each category of shareholders, namely the holders of registered A shares as a group are entitled to one seat on the board of directors. In 2023, David Dean was re-elected as the representative of the holders of registered A shares; holders of registered B shares with voting rights did not take part in this election. As a rule, the majority of the board members should be external members with no executive functions in the company. None of the members of the board of directors exercised any executive functions in the Bossard Group in the reporting year 2023.
