After the capital increase approved by the shareholders at the annual general meeting of April 9, 2015 did not materialise, and the proposal by the board of directors in this case to liquidate the company was rejected, the board of directors evaluated possible future strategies for ProgressNow!investAG.
On August 12, 2015 ProgressNow!investAG was able to sign a letter of intent with IPM St. Gallen AG ('IPM'). The intention is a realignment of ProgressNow!investAG as an investment company with focus on investments (Private-Equity) in businesses in the sustainable food industry. At the extraordinary general meeting, shareholders will be informed in more detail about the project and Johann Hüttenmoser will be proposed for election to the board of directors. Shareholders will also decide on the proposals on the agenda from the shareholders' group Deck/Schöni.
The invitation to the extraordinary general meeting will be sent to all shareholders registered in the company's shareholders register. In addition the agenda for the extraordinary general meeting will be published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce on September 8, 2015.
The semi-annual report per June 30, 2015 (in German only), including the unaudited half-year accounts, can be viewed, downloaded and printed from the website of the company under 'Halbjahresberichte'(http://www.progressnow.ch/progressnow/hb_aktuell.htm) after trading hours on September 7, 2015.
