DocMorris Invites Shareholders to Key AGM Amid Takeover Threat

DocMorris AG has announced its Annual General Meeting, highlighting the proposal for a partial renewal of its Board of Directors. The company nominates Thomas Bucher, Nicole Formica-Schiller, and Thomas Reutter as new board members. The current Board urges shareholders to reject motions from CEPD N.V., a company controlled by Polish investor Jacek Szwajcowski, which seeks to place its representatives on the board, suggesting an attempted takeover.

CEPD N.V. has held a 15% stake in DocMorris since 2025 but has not previously accepted offers to nominate board candidates. Its recent proposals aim to gain control, raising concerns of a hostile strategy. The DocMorris board emphasizes safeguarding shareholders' interests and maintaining independent governance. Shareholders are encouraged to uphold the strategic continuity by supporting the nominated board candidates.
