Ascom wants to strengthen its position in the global healthcare industry as well as continue to grow in new markets.

Both candidates have an impressive international track record.
The Board of Directors further proposes to the Annual General Meeting that the four current members of the Board, Juhani Anttila, Dr J.T. Bergqvist, Cornelia Gehrig and Andreas Umbach be re-elected for a further one-year term of office. Thus the Board of Directors continues to consist of six members.
Moreover, the Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting to re-elect Juhani Anttila as Chairman of the Board. Andreas Umbach and Dr J.T Bergqvist are proposed to be elected as Members of the Compensation Committee.
Paul E. Otth, Vice Chairman of the Board, has reached the Company's age limit and therefore cannot stand for re-election. Kenth-Ake Jönsson decided not to stand for reelection for personal reasons. The Board of Directors thanks the leaving Board Members for their precious contributions to Ascom.
