Olivier Verscheure has decided not to stand for re-election. Olivier has been a member of the Board since 2018. The Board would like to thank Olivier for his contribution during his years of service at Lonza.

The Board of Directors also proposes the election of three new Board members, each for a term of office until the completion of the AGM 2026: 

  • Juan Andres 
  • Eric Drapé (election effective from 14 May 2025) 
  • David Meline  

Juan Andres has a career spanning more than 35 years during which he has held a variety of executive leadership positions. He was President, Strategic Partnerships and Enterprise Expansion at Moderna and led all manufacturing and technical development there during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to that, he led manufacturing worldwide and other strategic roles at Novartis for 12 years after spending more than 15 years at Eli Lilly. He has a deep strategic understanding of technical operations and quality that is complemented by international business expertise.

Eric Drapé held the role of EVP, Head of Global Operations, Company Officer and Member of the Executive Committee at Teva Pharmaceuticals until 2024. For more than 35 years, he has served in multiple leadership roles in the pharmaceutical industry, covering global operations and quality at Teva Pharmaceuticals, Ipsen Pharma and Novo Nordisk. He has a wealth of international experience, having held positions in Denmark, France, Israel and the US. If elected, Eric Drapé’s term of office will start on 14 May 2025 after the expiry of current contractual commitments.

David Meline has served as CFO of three publicly listed industrial and biotech companies and worked in various capital-intensive industries throughout his career. After serving as CFO and CAO of 3M Company as well as CFO of Amgen, one of the world’s largest independent biotech companies, David was CFO of Moderna during the COVID-19 pandemic. He has extensive governance, financial and industry experience, including business and IT services.

Further motions include the re-election and election of the Remuneration Committee and the approval of the compensation of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee.

The Board of Directors proposes to maintain a dividend of CHF 4.00 per share. Subject to approval at the upcoming AGM, 50% of the dividend will be paid out of the capital contribution reserve, meaning it will be free from Swiss withholding tax.
