Pursuant to the Swiss Federal Council’s Ordinance 3 on Measures to Combat the Coronavirus, associations were permitted to hold General Meetings online or pass resolutions in writing until 31.12.2022, even if this is not provided for in the Articles of Association. Pursuant to the Ordinance, it was not permitted to combine the two different methods of implementation.
These exemptions granted by the Federal Council ceased to apply on 01.01.2023; General Meetings must now again be held in accordance with Articles of Association. This means that General Meetings are allowed to be held online or in hybrid format if permitted explicitly by the Articles of Association.
