Geberit AG, Rapperswil-Jona, April 3, 2014

858 shareholders met today for the 15th Annual General Meeting of Geberit AG at the Grünfeld sports hall in Rapperswil-Jona. All of the proposals submitted by the Board of Directors were approved.

Chairman of the Board of Directors Albert M. Baehny welcomed the shareholders and was pleased with the convincing results achieved in 2013. Once again, significant sales growth was achieved and market shares gained in an environment that has been challenging for some years now. Despite increased personnel expenses and continued, substantial investments in organic growth, the results were up on the previous year's values. Together with CFO Roland Iff, he then gave a summary of
2013 and provided an outlook for 2014.
The shareholders approved the Annual Report, the Financial Statements and the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2013 and ratified a dividend of CHF 7.50 per share, which corresponds to an increase of 13.6% compared with the previous year. The dividend will be paid out on April 10, 2014.
The shareholders formally approved the actions of the members of the Board of Directors for their activities during the 2013 business year. The members of the Board of Directors standing for re- election for a further year in office in accordance with the new provisions of the Ordinance against Excessive Compensation with respect to Listed Companies (OaEC) were re-elected. During the course of these elections, the current Chairman of the Board of Directors Albert M. Baehny was also confirmed in office. Jeff Song did not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors for health reasons (see media release dated February 6, 2014). Robert F. Spoerry (Chairman), Hartmut Reuter and Jørgen Tang-Jensen were elected to the Compensation Committee. The constitution of the Board of Directors after the General Meeting resulted in the Audit Committee comprising the following members: Hartmut Reuter (Chairman), Felix R. Ehrat, Robert F. Spoerry.
As a consequence of the required amendments to conform to the OaEC, votes were held this year on numerous amendments to the Articles of Incorporation. The Board of Directors decided to already implement the new rules in the Articles of Incorporation this year as completely as possible, even where the new law would provide for a longer transitional period. The various proposed amendments to the Articles of Incorporation were divided up into two agenda items and put to a vote. The shareholders agreed with the proposals submitted by the Board of Directors and approved the two agenda items. In addition, the General Meeting approved the completely redesigned, comprehensive Remuneration Report for the 2013 business year in a consultative vote.
PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Zurich, was confirmed as auditors for 2014. Andreas Keller was elected as the independent proxy in accordance with the OaEC provisions, which state that independent proxies must now be elected by the General Meeting.
