Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ At the gen­er­al meet­ing, any share­hold­er is en­titled to in­form­a­tion from the board of dir­ect­ors on the af­fairs of the com­pany and from the ex­tern­al aud­it­ors on the meth­ods and res­ults of their audit.

² The in­form­a­tion must be giv­en to the ex­tent re­quired for the prop­er ex­er­cise of share­hold­ers’ rights. It may be re­fused where provid­ing it would jeop­ard­ise the com­pany’s trade secrets or oth­er in­terests war­rant­ing pro­tec­tion.

³ The com­pany ledgers and busi­ness cor­res­pond­ence may be in­spec­ted only with the ex­press au­thor­isa­tion of the gen­er­al meet­ing or by res­ol­u­tion of the board of dir­ect­ors and only if meas­ures are taken to safe­guard trade secrets.

⁴ Where in­form­a­tion or in­spec­tion is re­fused without just cause, the court may or­der it on ap­plic­a­tion.⁴³⁷
