Furthermore, the Annual General Meeting approved the resolution to reduce the number of Supervisory Board members. Effective immediately, the Supervisory Board will have only eight shareholder representatives instead of nine as in the past. Moreover, the Supervisory Board mandates of Franz Gasselsberger and Patrick Prügger were extended for a further term of office ending at the Annual General Meeting in 2020.
Accordingly, the shareholder representatives on the Supervisory Board now consist of Hanno Bästlein, Veit Sorger, Felix Strohbichler, Helmut Bernkopf, Franz Gasselsberger, Josef Krenner, Patrick Prügger and Astrid Skala-Kuhmann.
The Annual General Meeting held today also adopted a resolution discharging the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board for the 2015 financial year. In addition, the Annual General Meeting resolved upon the remuneration of the Supervisory Board members for the 2015 financial year. Deloitte Audit Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft mbH, Vienna, was appointed once again to serve as the auditor of the annual and consolidated financial statements for the 2016 financial year.
Moreover, the Management Board was authorized, contingent upon the consent granted by the Supervisory Board, to buy back the Company's own shares (treasury shares) up to a maximum of 10% of the Company's share capital, for a period lasting up to 30 months starting with the date the resolution was passed. The Management Board was also granted authorization, if necessary, to reduce the Company's share capital, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, by redeeming these own shares.
