New directors elected at Swiss Post Ltd

In its capacity as sole shareholder, the Confederation – represented by the Director of the Federal Finance Administration, Serge Gaillard – approved all proposals made by the Board of Directors at Swiss Post’s first General Meeting as a public limited company held in Berne. The General Meeting elected Dr. Myriam Meyer and Nadja Lang as new members of the Board of Directors. They take over from the previous members Dominique Freymond and Nicola Thibaudeau. Dominique Freymond, former Vice-Chairman of the Board of Directors of Swiss Post Ltd, stood down after having served the maximum term of office of twelve years. Nicola Thibaudeau left the Board of Directors for professional reasons at the end of 2013 after seven years in office. The Board of Directors of Swiss Post Ltd now comprises three women and six men, thus meeting the target set by the Federal Council for representation of both sexes on boards of directors of enterprises affiliated with the Confederation.

With operating income of 8,575 million francs and Group profit of 626 million francs, the financial statements as well as the annual report for the 2013 financial year were adopted. The dividend of 180 million francs to the Confederation was also approved.

The term of office of 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2014 applicable to current members of the Board of Directors was extended by the General Meeting until the ordinary General Meeting to be held in 2015. A re-election will then be held for the usual two-year term of office.
