Swiss Prime Site Shareholders Approve All Board Proposals, Including Dividend and Compensation

At today’s Annual General Meeting of Swiss Prime Site AG in Zug, shareholders approved all proposals of the Board of Directors by a large majority. The approval covers the 2025 annual financial statements, a dividend distribution of CHF 3.50 per share, compensation reports, and the re-election of the entire board. This comprehensive endorsement reflects shareholder support for the company’s strategic direction and governance.

The dividend distribution consists of an ordinary dividend from retained earnings of CHF 1.75 gross per registered share and a withholding tax-free distribution from capital reserves of CHF 1.75 per share. The payment will be made on 31 March 2026, with shares trading ex-dividend starting 27 March 2026. This distribution demonstrates the company’s ability to generate returns for investors while maintaining financial stability.

In consultative votes, shareholders endorsed both the report on non-financial matters and the 2025 compensation report. They also approved the total compensation for 2026 for the Board of Directors and Group Executive Board in separate binding votes. These approvals indicate alignment between management and shareholders on corporate governance and sustainability practices.

All members of the Board of Directors were re-elected for another term until the 2027 Annual General Meeting. Ton Buchner was re-elected as Chairman, while Barbara A. Knoflach, Gabrielle Nater-Bass and Detlef Trefzger were re-elected to the Nomination and Compensation Committee. This continuity in leadership suggests confidence in the current board’s oversight of the company’s substantial real estate portfolio.

Swiss Prime Site is Switzerland’s largest real estate company, with a portfolio valued at around CHF 28 billion.
