Zurich, 8 May 2020 – The shareholders of Lalique Group SA approved all proposals put forward by the Board of Directors at the General Meeting. Sanjeev Malhan was elected as a new member of the Board of Directors. Due to the measures prescribed by the Swiss Federal Council to protect the population against the coronavirus, shareholders exercised their voting rights exclusively through the independent proxy.

In view of the measures enacted by the Swiss Federal Council (Covid-19 Ordinance 2 of 13 March 2020), the General Meeting of 8 May 2020 took place without the physical presence of shareholders and the agenda was limited to those items required by law. Shareholders issued their voting instructions to the independent proxy in advance of the General Meeting by means of a power of attorney. A total of 6’371’451 or 88.5% of shares with voting rights were represented.

Approval of all of the Board of Directors’ proposals
At the Ordinary General Meeting in Zurich, the shareholders of Lalique Group SA – represented by the independent proxy – approved the company’s annual report, consolidated financial statements and statutory financial statements for the 2019 financial year and they granted discharge to the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board.

All previous members of the Board of Directors – Silvio Denz (Chairman), Roland Weber, Roger von der Weid, Claudio Denz, Jan Kollros and Marcel Roesti – were re-elected for a further term of office of one year. Sanjeev Malhan, who has been Chief Financial Officer of India-based DS Group’s confectionery business since October 2018, was elected as a new member of the Board of Directors.
