The move comes after what the company describes as ‘constructive discussions’ with its largest shareholder, Alpine Select AG. Peter Altorfer who joined ALTIN’s Board of Directors in 2010 and has acted as Chairman since April 2011 had announced in an earlier media release dated 14 April 2016 his decision not to stand for re-election. Thomas Amstutz, a representative of Alpine Select AG, together with Dieter Dubs and Gerhard Niggli will join the Board and are to be elected at the Annual General Meeting on 9 May. André Pabst and Roger Rüegg, who are current Board members, will stand for re-election.

PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, the Company’s independent auditor since 1996 will be replaced by KPMG AG which will be taking over this role from 9 May onwards.

The management and current Directors of the Company are confident that strategic solutions can be found that will be value accretive to both the majority and minority shareholders.
