Based on Article 27 of the Ordinance 3 of the Swiss Federal Council of 19 June 2020 on Measures to Combat the Coronavirus, the Board of Directors held the Annual General Meeting without the attendance of shareholders. Consequently, shareholders had to exercise their voting rights by instructing the Independent Representative.

Shareholders owning a total of 906,121 shares, representing 79.48% of the share capital, cast their vote. A strong majority followed the Board of Directors' recommendations and approved all the resolutions, the main ones being:

• Approval of the management report, the consolidated financial statements of the LEM Group and the annual financial statements of LEM HOLDING SA as at 31 March 2021.
   
• Appropriation of available earnings, and distribution of an ordinary dividend of CHF 42.00 per share, the net amount after Swiss withholding tax being CHF 27.30 payable on 6 July 2021.
   
• Approval of the compensation of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management.
   
• Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to have the possibility, in justified exceptional cases, to derogate from the rule which limits the age at seventy years (70) for exercising the function of member of the Board of Directors.
   
• Re-election of all six members of the Board for a term of one year, including the role of Chairman, and membership of the Nomination & Compensation Committee.

The minutes of the AGM will be published on LEM's website as soon as they are available.
