At the Annual General Meeting held in Zug on April 16, 2024, the shareholders of Ascom Holding AG approved all proposals of the Board of Directors by a large majority, except for the Remuneration Report.

The Annual General Meeting was attended by 79 shareholders. A total of 23’654’461 registered shares with voting rights were represented, which corresponds to 65,7 % of the share capital.

The Annual General Meeting approved most proposals of the Board of Directors with a large majority, including the report on non-financial matters and the payout of an increased dividend of CHF 0.30 per share.
