BCV’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting was held today at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne, Switzerland. The meeting was attended by 463 shareholders, representing 81% of the Group’s capital. All items on the agenda were approved, including the payment of an ordinary dividend of CHF 4.40 per share. BCV will thus return a total of CHF 379m to its shareholders on 7 May 2026 (ex-dividend date: 5 May 2026), including CHF 254m to the Canton of Vaud, which holds 67% of its share capital.
Shareholders approved the 2025 consolidated financial statements, which show a CHF 430m net profit, as well as the 2025 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 approved the proposed amendments to BCV’s Articles of Association, including the reduction of the period between the record date and the date of the shareholders’ meeting to 10 days, in accordance with corporate governance best practices.
