Leonteq AG / Key word(s): AGMEGM PRESS RELEASE LEONTEQ PUBLISHES RESULTS OF ITS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2025 Zurich, 27 March 2025 Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR
In line with Leonteq’s dividend policy to distribute more than 50% of annual Group net profits to its shareholders, the Board had proposed a distribution of CHF 0.25 per share for the financial year 2024. Following today’s shareholder vote, the Board will now implement Raiffeisen’s proposal to distribute a total of CHF 3.00 per share. As communicated previously, Leonteq is subject to enhanced capital and large exposure requirements as defined by the Swiss Capital Adequacy Ordinance. Under the new regime, Leonteq is allowed to temporarily apply the simplified standard approach for market risks, including a phase-in of the scaling factors over the transition period until mid-2026. Following the distribution to shareholders totalling approx. CHF 55 million, Leonteq will continue to fully meet the current capital requirements as per the simplified approach thanks to the strong capital position it built up over the last years. The Board has further taken note that the maximum fixed compensation as well as the maximum long-term variable compensation of the Executive Committee for the financial year 2026 was not approved by shareholders. As per the company’s Articles of Association, the Board will now convene an extraordinary general meeting within three months to make new proposals for these agenda items. Further details of the voting results for all proposals presented at the Annual General Meeting 2025 will be published later today on Leonteq’s website at www.leonteq.com/agm. 31 March 2025 Ex-dividend date 01 April 2025 Record date 02 April 2025 Payment date
