shareholders receive and lowers our printing and mailing costs. Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to any shareholder of record at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these materials. To receive a separate copy, such shareholder of record may contact Investor Relations, ADC Therapeutics SA, c/o ADC Therapeutics America, Inc. 430 Mountain Avenue, 4th Floor, Murray Hill, NJ 07974 or by calling (908) 731-5556. Beneficial holders may contact their bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee to request information about householding.
Conversely, if shareholders of record living at the same address received multiple copies of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials, you may request delivery of a single copy by contacting us as set forth above. Beneficial holders may contact their bank, brokerage firm, or other nominee to request a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials.
How is a quorum reached?
There is no quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting. Under Swiss law, corporations do not have specific quorum requirements for shareholder meetings, and our articles of association do not otherwise provide for a quorum requirement.
Who is the independent voting representative for the Annual Meeting and how do I get in touch?
Swiss law requires public companies to appoint an independent voting representative (the “Independent Proxy”), to whom shareholders of record and nominees can give a proxy to vote on their behalf as well as voting instructions. The Company’s Independent Proxy is PHC Notaires, in Lausanne, Switzerland. You may contact the Independent Proxy at PHC Notaires, Pl. Benjamin-Constant 2, Case postale 1269, 1001 Lausanne, Switzerland.
How can I vote my shares in advance of the Annual Meeting?
Whether you hold shares directly as the shareholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the Annual Meeting.
If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote by giving voting instructions and authorization to the Independent Proxy electronically through the Computershare portal with the individual shareholder number (QR Code). To do so, shareholders of record should follow the instructions given in the Notice. Shareholders of record may also give voting instructions and authorization to the Independent Proxy through Computershare by mail, using a proxy card.
If you are a beneficial owner, you may vote by giving voting instructions and authorization to the Independent Proxy electronically pursuant to the instructions of your broker or nominee and should use the portal designated by your broker or nominee. Beneficial owners should observe the deadlines to submit voting instructions and authorizations that are set in the instructions of their broker or nominee.
Can I attend the Annual Meeting in person?
If you are a shareholder of record, or if you are a beneficial owner and have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee authorizing you to vote at the Annual Meeting, you may attend the Annual Meeting in person or arrange to be represented by another person with the right to vote, in each case using the proxy card. We recommend that you give voting instructions and authorization to the Independent Proxy even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person.
Individuals who plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person need to present their proxy card and a valid government-issued proof of identity at the Annual Meeting venue. Such individuals are urged to arrive at the Annual Meeting venue no later than 10:00 a.m. CEST on June 13, 2024.
