DocMorris ( (CH:DOCM) ) has shared an announcement.

DocMorris has published the invitation to its 12 May General Meeting, where a partial renewal of the six-member Board of Directors will dominate the agenda amid a governance battle with minority shareholder CEPD N.V. The board is proposing three independent candidates – Thomas Bucher, Nicole Formica-Schiller and Thomas Reutter – citing their financial, AI and corporate-governance expertise to support the company’s next growth phase and preserve its recently affirmed strategic momentum.

In parallel, the board is urging shareholders to reject CEPD’s rival slate of three directors and a bid for the chairmanship by Polish investor Jacek Szwajcowski, arguing this would amount to a creeping takeover that concentrates control in a 15% shareholder without a formal premium-bearing bid. Emphasising loyalty and due-care obligations to all investors, the board frames the vote as pivotal to safeguarding DocMorris’s independence, strategic continuity and long-term value creation, and calls on shareholders to register and exercise their voting rights.

The most recent analyst rating on (CH:DOCM) stock is a Sell with a CHF3.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on DocMorris stock, see the CH:DOCM Stock Forecast page.
