7 Change of control and defensive measures

7.1 Duty to make an offer

Under the terms of the Telecommunications Enterprise Act (TEA), the Swiss Confederation must hold the majority of the capital and voting rights in Swisscom Ltd. This requirement is also set out in the Articles of Incorporation. There is no duty to submit a takeover bid as defined in the Federal Act on Stock Exchanges and Securities Trading, since this would contradict the TEA.

7.2 Clause on change of control

Details of the clauses on change of control are given in the section “Remuneration Report”.
