BCV’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting was held today at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne, Switzerland. The meeting was attended by 544 shareholders, representing 83% of the Group’s capital. All items on the agenda were approved, including a CHF 0.10 increase in the ordinary dividend to CHF 4.40 per share. BCV will thus return a total of CHF 379m to its shareholders on 14 May 2025 (ex-dividend date: 12 May 2025), including CHF 254m to the Canton of Vaud, which holds 67% of its share capital.
Shareholders approved the 2024 consolidated financial statements, which show a CHF 441m net profit, as well as the 2024 Sustainability Report as the Bank’s “report on non-financial matters.” Shareholders ratified the actions of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board and accepted the compensation of their members. They also reelected Pierre-Alain Urech and elected Sandra Hauser to the Board of Directors, each for a four-year term.
