VERAISON is an anchor investor of Goldbach Group since inception of the VERAISON SICAV – Engagement Fund with a participation of 19.1% of the share capital. The Swiss Federal Competition Commission (COMCO) has now approved the takeover of Goldbach Group by Tamedia without any requirements or conditions. We welcome the decision of COMCO. VERAISON as strategic shareholder supported the partnership announced in December 2017 and was confident that the transaction would be approved.
The execution of the tendered 19.1% stake of VERAISION is expected to take place within the next ten trading days. VERAISON can therefore successfully complete its engagement. Goldbach shareholders will profit from a value appreciation of approximately 100% during the last three years. At the same time Goldbach is in an ideal position to continue developing its business successfully.

Links to the detailed agenda item and the presentation of VERAISON from the media round table on April 9, 2018 (both in German language).
On the 10th of April 2018 the shareholders of VERAISON SICAV unanimously followed the recommendations of the Board and approved all proposals submitted at the 3rd Annual General Meeting. In particular, they unanimously appointed Roman Kurmann (as independent director) and René Bernhard (CFO VERAISON Capital) to the Board of Directors. Gregor Greber, Alexander Kaiser and Bernhard Fuchs were confirmed as members of the Board for a further one-year term.
The Board wishes to thank all shareholders for their trust and commitment.
Agenda item for the Annual General Meeting of Orell-Füssli Holding AG from VERAISON for the purpose of neutrality of treatment of all shareholders
VERAISON SICAV submitted a constructive agenda item to Orell Füssli Holding AG for the Annual General Meeting on May 8, 2018. In it, VERAISON SICAV requests to increase the threshold for the obligation to submit a mandatory offer to be raised to 34% for all shareholders of Orell-Füssli Holding AG (“opting up”).
The introduction of an opting-up of 34% ensures the neutrality of treatment of all shareholders in the Articles of Association. This gives Orell Füssli more independence and strengthens the company’s capital market capability.
VERAISON SICAV regrets that the Board of Directors rejects this shareholder resolution, as VERAISON SICAV is convinced of the importance of this resolution for all minority shareholders.
