St Gallen, 31 March 2020 – Vifor Pharma confirmed that it will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 14 May, 2020, as planned. In view of the current situation and based on Art. 6a of Ordinance 2, issued by the Swiss Federal Council, regarding measures against combatting the coronavirus (COVID-19), shareholders will not be allowed to attend the event in person. In addition, the AGM will not include an address by the Executive Chairman, senior management or a webcast.
At Vifor Pharma the health of shareholders and employees is a priority, therefore the Board of Directors has decided that shareholders will be able to exercise their rights at the General Meeting exclusively through the independent proxy.
