On 19 December 2020, MCH Group announced the completion of a subscription rights issue for the second tranche of two capital increases, approved by an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on 27 November 2020.

The settlement agreement was the consequence of legal proceedings initiated by LLB Swiss Investment against the resolutions of a first extraordinary general meeting of MCH Group held on 3 August 2020. The legal proceedings involved inter alia a successful objection against an opting up introduced at such extraordinary general meeting in front of the Swiss takeover board (TOB) (decision 765/02 of 20 August 2020). The decision of the TOB was confirmed by the Takeover and State Liability Committee of the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) (decision of 16 October 2020).
