At today's Annual General Meeting, Swiss Life Holding's shareholders approved all the resolutions proposed by the Board of Directors. Around 1 200 shareholders took part in the event.
Swiss Life Holding is distributing a dividend in the form of a repayment of par value. This will reduce the company's ordinary share capital by CHF 4 per registered share, from CHF 50 to CHF 46 per share. It is intended to pay the amount of the reduction, CHF 4 per share, at the beginning of August 2005 to those holding Swiss Life Holding shares on the day before said payout.
Standing for re-election to the Board of Directors, Gerold Bührer, Paul Embrechts and Franziska Tschudi were elected for a normal three-year term of office by a large majority.
