In line with the Board of Directors' proposal, the General Meeting of Shareholders approved a dividend of CHF 22.- per share, unchanged from the previous year.
In addition, the General Meeting of Shareholders approved the share repurchase program. This will allow the Group to repurchase own shares with a value of up to CHF 200 million for the purpose of a future capital reduction.

For the current year the Group expects a further increase of the operating result.
