Zurich, 31 May 2023 – The shareholders of Lalique Group SA approved all the proposals put forward by the Board of Directors at the General Meeting, including the distribution of a dividend of CHF 0.50 per share for the 2022 financial year.

At the Annual General Meeting on 31 May 2023 in Zurich, the shareholders of Lalique Group SA approved the company’s annual report, consolidated financial statements and annual financial statements for the 2022 financial year and they granted discharge from liability to the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board. They also approved the distribution of a dividend of CHF 0.50 per share proposed by the Board of Directors, with half of the distribution taking the form of an ordinary dividend and the other half being paid out of capital contribution reserves (the latter free of Swiss withholding tax). The dividend will be paid to shareholders on 7 June 2023 (ex-dividend date: 5 June 2023).

All existing members of the Board of Directors – Silvio Denz (Chairman), Roland Weber, Roger von der Weid, Claudio Denz, Jan Kollros, Yugnesh Kumar Agrawal and Philippe Vidal – were re-elected for a further term of office of one year.

Among other things, shareholders approved the introduction of a capital band that authorises the Board of Directors to increase the company’s share capital by a maximum of 20% (upper limit: CHF 1 728 000) or to reduce it by no more than 10% (lower limit:
