Ad hoc-Mitteilung gemäss Art. 16 KR

Einladung zu ausserordentlicher Generalversammlung und Veränderungen im Verwaltungsrat und der Geschäftsführung

Die BV Holding AG hat die Einladung und die Traktanden zur ausserordentlichen Generalversammlung vom 4. Oktober 2021 publiziert. Diese Informationen sind ab sofort auf ihrer Webseite www.bvgroup.ch verfügbar. Im Zusammenhang mit dem geplanten Börsengang an der SIX Swiss Exchange werden zusätzliche Verwaltungsräte zur Wahl vorgeschlagen.

In Anbetracht des geplanten Börsengangs an der SIX Swiss Exchange beantragt der Verwaltungsrat der ausserordentlichen Generalversammlung unter anderem einen Namenswechsel der Gesellschaft zu «SKAN Group AG».

Darüber hinaus stellt der Verwaltungsrat weitere Anträge, die für die Umsetzung des geplanten Börsengangs notwendig oder sinnvoll sind, so unter anderem eine ordentliche Kapitalerhöhung, die Änderung des Gesellschaftszwecks, die Ersetzung des bestehenden Opting-Outs durch ein Opting-Up und die Verlegung des Firmensitzes. Die einzelnen Traktanden und die entsprechenden Anträge des Verwaltungsrats sind in der Einladung zur ausserordentlichen Generalversammlung ausführlich erläutert.

Die neue Ausrichtung der Gesellschaft auf Isolator- und Reinraumtechnik für die
(bio-)pharmazeutische Industrie und die angestrebte Börsenkotierung an der SIX Swiss Exchange bedingt auch eine andere Zusammenstellung des Verwaltungsrats. Sämtliche bisherigen Mitglieder des Verwaltungsrats der BV Holding AG treten zurück - aufschiebend bedingt auf die Durchführung der Kapitalerhöhung im Zusammenhang mit dem geplanten Börsengang. Im Sinne der Kontinuität werden mit Dr. Gert Thoenen, Oliver Baumann, Patrick Schär, Gregor Plattner und Thomas Huber fünf bestehende Verwaltungsratsmitglieder der Skan Holding AG auch als Verwaltungsratsmitglieder der Gesellschaft vorgeschlagen. Ergänzt werden soll der Verwaltungsrat mit Cornelia Gehrig und Dr. Beat Lüthi, die zusätzliches Finanz- und Branchen-Know-how ins Gremium einbringen werden.

Nach erfolgtem Börsengang wird zudem die breit abgestützte heutige SKAN-Geschäftsleitung die Geschäftsführung der Gruppe übernehmen. Sie besteht aus Thomas Huber (Chief Executive Officer), Burim Maraj (Chief Financial Officer), Martin Steegmüller (Chief Products Officer and Chief Officer Digital Solutions), Philippe Jérôme (Chief Sales and Marketing Officer), Bernd Naumann (Chief Technology Officer), Michel Gasser (Chief Service Officer), Fabienne Schmid (Chief Officer Human Resources), Sascha Pawel (Chief Innovation Officer), Thomas Zinn (Chief Contracting Officer) sowie Cornelia Henny-Weiss (Chief Operating Officer).

Die ausserordentliche Generalversammlung findet ohne die Möglichkeit der physischen Teilnahme durch die Aktionärinnen und Aktionäre statt. Diese können ihre Stimmrechte durch die unabhängige Stimmrechtsvertreterin vertreten lassen.
