Saint-Gobain takes note of Sika's decisions and reiterates its determination
Â
Saint-Gobain takes note of the decisions taken today at Sika's Annual General Meeting following the restriction of the voting rights of Schenker-Winkler Holding (SWH), decided by Sika's Management Board in violation of SWH's rights.
Â
In anticipation of these decisions, the Group had extended the term of the contract signed with the Burkard family until June 2016.
Â
The resolution regarding the deletion of the opt-out clause, whose validity has been confirmed twice by the TOB (Swiss Takeover Board) in recent weeks, was not adopted.
Â
Saint-Gobain reiterates its determination to complete the transaction and has full confidence that the Swiss courts shall allow SWH to regain their rights according to the law
