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

¹ The art­icles of as­so­ci­ation may re­quire com­pany mem­bers to make fur­ther ma­ter­i­al con­tri­bu­tions.

² They may re­quire fur­ther ma­ter­i­al con­tri­bu­tions only if this serves the ob­jects of the com­pany, the main­ten­ance of its in­de­pend­ence or the pre­ser­va­tion of the com­pos­i­tion of the groups of com­pany mem­bers.

³ The ob­ject and ex­tent and oth­er es­sen­tial points ac­cord­ing to cir­cum­stances of any ob­lig­a­tion to make fur­ther ma­ter­i­al con­tri­bu­tions re­lated to a cap­it­al con­tri­bu­tion must be spe­cified in the art­icles of as­so­ci­ation. Ref­er­ence may be made to the reg­u­la­tions of the mem­bers' gen­er­al meet­ing for more pre­cise de­tails.

⁴ Ob­lig­a­tions un­der the art­icles of as­so­ci­ation to pay money or provide oth­er as­sets are sub­ject to the pro­vi­sions on ad­di­tion­al fin­an­cial con­tri­bu­tions if no ap­pro­pri­ate con­sid­er­a­tion is provided for and the call for ad­di­tion­al con­tri­bu­tions serves to cov­er equity cap­it­al re­quire­ments.
