All supplementary motions and countermotions submitted were rejected by the Annual General Meeting after a long, intensive discussion with a clear majority of around 75% of the votes cast.

In his speech, CEO Dirk Graber addressed the 2023 financial year and the future development of Mister Spex “After a challenging financial year 2023, we expect 2024 to be a year when we move on to our next chapter of excellence. We will continue to implement lean processes, further fostering simplicity and building on our optical expertise. Looking ahead, we want to continue to build value for our customers.
