With a clear majority, shareholders elected Marco Gadola (as of January 1, 2020), Dr. Wolfgang Baier and Jack Clemons to the Board of Directors. Their international experience and proven leadership will strengthen the Board's competencies especially in digitization, e-commerce, logistics and supply chain management.

Shareholders authorized the dividend increase of 12.1 percent to CHF 1.85 per share. DKSH will distribute more than CHF 120 million to shareholders and continue to pursue its progressive, ordinary dividend policy.

Shareholders also voted in favor of all other motions. They discharged the Board of Directors and Senior Executive Team, approved the financial statements and compensation as well as elected the Statutory Auditors and Independent Proxy.
