Permitted mandates outside Straumann Group
(pursuant to art. 626 II CO)
Art. 4.4 of Straumann’s Articles of Association states that no member of the EMB may perform more than five mandates in comparable functions in other companies with economic purpose, of which no more than one may be in listed companies. The number of permitted mandates outside Straumann in listed companies for the EMB was reduced by the AGM 2023 from two to one. This ensures that the members of the EMB have sufficient time available to perform their duties for the Group.
The following are exempt from these restrictions:
- Mandates in enterprises that control the Group or are controlled by the same
- Mandates in enterprises that are performed at the instruction of the Group
- Mandates in associations, organizations, foundations, trusts and employee pension funds; no member of the Executive Management may perform more than three such mandates
Mandates in several legal entities under common control or under the same economic authority are deemed as one mandate
Management contracts
The Board of Directors and the EMB have not delegated any managerial powers to persons or companies outside the Group.
