Notices concerning Corporate Governance
MCH Group adheres to the provisions of relevance to corporate governance in the valid legislation, in the directives issued by the SIX Swiss Exchange and in the rules of conduct contained in the Swiss Code of Best Practice. The company's basic fundaments – namely its Articles of Association and regulations and also its information and control instruments – include all the essential principles to ensure that the management, supervision and transparency of the company are in accordance with good corporate governance.
MCH Group differs on one key point from many other companies quoted on the SIX Swiss Exchange. Under the terms of its Articles of Association, the listed holding company MCH Group Ltd. is a joint stock company with the participation of public sector entities as per Art. 762 of the Swiss Code of Obligations. In accordance with Article 22 of the Articles of Association dated 04.05.2023, the Canton of Basel-Stadt has the right to appoint two members of the Board of Directors. The Canton and City of Zurich have the right to appoint one member of the Board of Directors, but have waived this right in the period from the 2023 Annual General Meeting to the 2024 Annual General Meeting.
