Gigaset AG Annual General Meeting 2012
Munich, June 12, 2012. Close on 250 shareholders and guests gathered at the
Alte Kongresshalle (Old Congress Hall) in Munich for the Gigaset AG annual
general meeting on June 12, 2012.
In his address, Charles Fränkl, CEO of Gigaset AG, presented the key points
of the new growth strategy. Charles Fränkl said: 'The strategy 'Gigaset
2015' is our response to the digital transformation. We continue to develop
our core business consistently through innovation and envisage great
opportunities for IP-based applications for business customers. In our new
segment of domestic networking, we will be presenting initial prototypes at
the IFA 2012 in Berlin in September.'
In the future Gigaset will consistently utilise its growth opportunities in
three segments. In the stable core business of cordless voice, the
communications enterprise will profit from innovations and as a driver of
market consolidation. In the business customers market, Gigaset will focus
on IP-based products for small and medium-sized businesses. This market
grows by 20 percent annually. Finally, Gigaset aims at making the Gigaset
stations installed in 75 million households into a control centre for
networking in the home. In this area Gigaset will open up a mass market
that grows by 40 percent annually. In the home networks segment, the
communications specialist will benefit from its well-known brand, good
sales and distribution, and an experienced development team. As previously
announced, the strategic key points will be substantiated on August 8.
All points of resolution were adopted by a large majority, including the
resolution to authorise the Executive Board to issue option bonds and/or
convertible bonds, and to purchase own shares. Both the Executive Board and
the Supervisory Board were granted formal approval of their actions for the
fiscal year 2011.
Details regarding the voting results will be published on the Gigaset AG
homepage, www.gigaset.ag, in the next few days.
