8 Change of control and defensive measures
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 thus no duty to submit a takeover bid as defined in the Financial Market Infrastructures Act, since this would contradict the TEA.
Details on change of control clauses are given in the section ‘Remuneration Report’.
