2026 Annual General Meeting Outcomes

- Ownership Structure Simplification – The group streamlined its holding framework, aligning ownership and economic interests at the listed holding level.
- Dividend Decision – Shareholders approved a dividend of CHF 0.95 per share, a modest increase from the previous year, to be paid from 26 October 2026.
- Board Restructuring – The Board was reduced from ten to eight members; all nominated directors were re‑elected for a one‑year term.
- Governance and Reporting – The Group Management Report, consolidated financial statements, 2025/26 sustainability report, compensation report, and proposed remuneration caps were all accepted without reservation.
- Audit and Proxy Advisory – Ernst & Young retained as statutory auditors, and Keller AG continued as independent proxy adviser for the year.
These measures position Dormakaba for a more agile governance structure while reinforcing shareholder value through a predictable dividend policy.
