Renewal of the authorised share capital
Nationale Suisse intends to continue with the growth strategy already adopted,
in particular the strengthening of the profitable specialty lines, and therefore
requires the necessary strategic freedom of action from a financial perspective.
For this reason, the Board of Directors proposed a renewal of the authorised
share capital of a maximum of CHF 2.8 million until 7 June 2012. The General
Meeting today approved this proposal.
Payment of a cash dividend
The payment of a cash dividend of CHF 1.25 proposed by the Board of Directors
was also approved. The dividend yield calculated on the basis of the year-end
price for 2009 is therefore 4.0 %.
Departure of the Chairman of the Board of Directors
After holding the position for fifteen years, Dr René Theler today stepped down
as Chairman of the Board of Directors, but will continue to act as Honorary
Chairman of the company.
The Board of Directors appointed Dr Andreas von Planta, a member of the Board of
Directors since 1997 and its Vice Chairman since 2001, as Theler's successor.
The Board of Directors named Dr Bruno H. Letsch as the new Vice Chairman.
