Group structure and shareholders

Group structure

In line with the Shape4Growth strategy to boost profitable volume growth, dormakaba is about to further optimize its organizational structure.

Until the end of the financial year 2022/23, it consisted of the three regional segments within Access Solutions (AS): Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe & Africa – supported by Global Functions: Marketing & Products, Operations, and Product Development – as well as the segment Key & Wall Solutions (KWS).

As of 1 July 2023, the organizational structure was simplified and now consists of dormakaba's core global commercial business Access Solutions – supported by Global Functions – Operations, and Innovation. The Original Equipment Manufacturer business (OEM) of Region Asia-Pacific was moved to Key & Wall Solutions, being renamed to Key & Wall Solutions and OEM (KWO).

The companies that lie within the Group’s scope of consolidation are listed in the Financial Statements.

The Mankel/Brecht-Bergen Family and the Kaba Family Shareholders (collectively referred to as the Pool Shareholder Group) have concluded a pool agreement that governs the mutual rights and obligations of both parties. The pool agreement states that the Pool Shareholder Group can propose to the Nomination and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (BoD) a maximum of five representatives for election to the BoD by the general meeting of shareholders (General Meeting).

These shareholdings represent an economic interest of 62.1% in dormakaba.

This Pool Shareholder Group undertakes to exercise its voting rights in concert when voting on General Meeting resolutions. The members of the Pool Shareholder Group also grant each other the right of first refusal if they intend to sell shares in dormakaba Holding AG. Finally, if they sell 27% or more of dormakaba Holding AG voting rights, members of the Pool Shareholder Group undertake to commit the buyer to make a public takeover offer to all dormakaba Holding AG shareholders at the same price as that at which the members of the Pool Shareholder Group are selling. This is designed to prevent any price discrimination against minority shareholders. The pool agreement lasts until 29 April 2030. As far as dormakaba Holding AG is aware, there are no further shareholder agreements or other agreements between the major shareholders mentioned that involve the dormakaba Holding AG shares they own or that involve the exercise of the shareholder rights these shares confer.
