As before, Luc Thévenoz will continue to preside as TOB Chairman; Susan Emmenegger has been elected Vice-Chair. Former Vice-Chair, Raymund Breu, and Regina Kiener will leave the TOB.

FINMA would like to thank both Raymund Breu and Regina Kiener for their tireless commitment, and the important contribution they have made over the years to the Swiss takeover regime.

At its recent meeting, the FINMA Board of Directors elected Beat Fellmann to the TOB. Beat Fellmann, lic. oec.

Both Susan Emmenegger and Beat Fellmann have been elected for the remaining term of office, which runs until the end of 2015.
