General Meeting of ALSO-Actebis Holding AG

At the Ordinary General Meeting in Luzern on 8 March 2012, the shareholders of ALSO-Actebis Holding AG approved the Annual Report (including the Compensation Report), the Financial Statement and the Consolidated Financial Statement for 2011, and discharged the Board of Directors and the Executive Board from liability.

For financial 2011, ALSO-Actebis Holding AG reported a net profit of CHF 48.0 million. Together with the balance brought forward, the transfer to the reserve for treasury shares and the dissolution of the reserve from contributions in kind, retained earnings totalled CHF 64.1 million. Shareholders approved the Board's proposal for the appropriation of income. They will thus receive CHF 0.70 per registered share from the reserve from contributions in kind. The disbursement is paid without any deduction for withholding tax and is usually exempt from income tax for private individuals in Switzerland. The remaining CHF 55.1 million will be carried forward to the new statement.

The General Meeting elected Thomas C. Weissmann, Chairman of the Board of Directors, together with Prof. Dr. Karl Hofstetter and Prof. Dr. Rudolf Marty, members of the Board of Directors, for a further three years in office. ERNST & YOUNG AG were confirmed as statutory auditors for fiscal year 2012.
