At Leonteq’s forthcoming Annual General Meeting, all eight members of the Board of Directors will stand for re-election for a further term of office of one year, and the Board of Directors proposes the re-election of Christopher Chambers as Chairman.

As already communicated, the Board of Directors proposes that a distribution of CHF 4.00 per share be paid for the financial year 2022, in equal amounts out of retained earnings and reserves from capital contributions.

Shareholders will also vote on the approval of the management report, the financial statements and the consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2022.

In particular, the Board proposes the introduction of a capital band and a framework to hold general meetings in virtual or hybrid formats or abroad.
