Rhea-AI Filing Summary

WISeKey International Holding Ltd has called its 2026 Annual General Meeting for June 29, 2026 in Zurich, with shareholders able to attend in person or vote via proxies and electronic instructions. The Board asks shareholders to approve the 2025 Annual Report and audited consolidated and statutory financial statements, for which auditor BDO SA issued unqualified opinions.

Shareholders are asked to discharge the Board and Executive Management from liability for 2025 and to carry forward a total accumulated loss of CHF 82,633,720, including a 2025 net loss of CHF 1,801,504. Proposals include re-electing seven current directors and electing Andrew Forson as a new director, re-electing Carlos Moreira as Chairman, re-electing three members of the Nomination & Compensation Committee, confirming BDO SA as auditor, and re-electing Anwaltskanzlei Keller AG as Independent Proxy.

The agenda also covers an advisory vote on the 2025 compensation report and several binding compensation votes: a maximum aggregate Board compensation of CHF 2,000,000 for the 2026/2027 term, a maximum Executive Management compensation of CHF 7,500,000 for 2027, an increase in the previously approved 2026 Executive Management cap from CHF 6,000,000 to CHF 15,000,000, and additional 2025 Executive compensation of CHF 1,530,301 in SEALSQ share options. The Board also reiterates its intention to redomicile the company from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands via a cross-border merger, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals expected to be sought in the third quarter of 2026.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Significant accumulated loss and rising executive pay caps: WISeKey reports a total accumulated loss of CHF 82,633,720 while asking shareholders to more than double the 2026 Executive Management compensation cap from CHF 6,000,000 to CHF 15,000,000 and to ratify an extra CHF 1,530,301 in 2025 option-based compensation.

Insights

AGM bundles governance elections, large pay increases and a major redomiciliation shift.

The AGM asks WISeKey shareholders to approve standard items plus substantial changes to executive pay. The Board seeks to raise the 2026 Executive Management compensation cap from CHF 6,000,000 to CHF 15,000,000, citing SEALSQ’s 2025 performance and a benchmarking review.

Shareholders are also asked to ratify an additional CHF 1,530,301 in 2025 Executive compensation via SEALSQ options and to accept a 2027 Executive cap of CHF 7,500,000. These requests come alongside a carried-forward loss of CHF 82,633,720, so voting outcomes may reflect views on pay versus profitability.

The Board reiterates plans to redomicile from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands via a cross-border merger in Q3 2026, after required approvals. This would move the company under BVI law, where Swiss-style binding votes on compensation maxima would no longer apply, potentially altering future shareholder oversight of pay structures.

Independent Proxy regulatory
"The Board of Directors proposes that the law firm Anwaltskanzlei Keller AG, Zurich, be re-elected to serve as Independent Proxy..."
An independent proxy is a neutral person or third-party firm appointed to collect and cast shareholders’ votes at a corporate meeting when owners cannot attend in person. It matters to investors because it helps ensure votes are handled fairly and free from insider influence; think of it as a trusted messenger who follows your instructions so your voice counts in decisions that can affect company strategy and share value.
accumulated loss financial
"The Board of Directors proposes that the total accumulated loss be carried forward."
Executive Management financial
"The Board of Directors proposes that the members of the Board of Directors and Messrs. Carlos Moreira (CEO) and John O’Hara (CFO)... served as members of the Executive Management..."
compensation report financial
"The Board of Directors proposes that the compensation report, as included in the Annual Report 2025, be approved in a non-binding advisory vote."
American Depositary Shares financial
"to vote or cause to be voted the amount of Shares or other Deposited Securities represented by the American Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt(s)..."
American depositary shares (ADSs) are a way for investors in the United States to buy shares of foreign companies without dealing with international markets directly. They represent ownership in a foreign company's stock and are traded on U.S. stock exchanges, making it easier for American investors to buy, sell, and own parts of companies from around the world.
redomiciliation regulatory
"the Board of Directors intends to change the place of incorporation from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands (BVI). The redomiciliation is proposed to be implemented through a cross-border merger..."
Redomiciliation is when a company legally changes its country of incorporation while keeping the same business and assets, like moving a house to a new neighborhood but keeping the same furniture. Investors care because the company then follows a different set of laws and tax rules, which can change shareholder rights, reporting standards, dividend treatment and the ease of trading the stock, potentially affecting risk and return.

Proposal of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors proposes that the compensation report, as included in the Annual Report 2025, be approved in a non-binding advisory vote.

 

Explanation: The majority of Swiss public companies asks shareholders to approve the variable compensation of the executive management prospectively (i.e., in relation to the next financial year). The Company follows this practice for the Executive Management. Under these circumstances, the Board of Directors must, in accordance with article 735 para. 3 item 4 CO, seek an advisory vote from shareholders on the compensation report in relation to the preceding financial year. The compensation report for fiscal year 2025 is part of the Annual Report 2025, which is available to shareholders on the Company’s website at https://www.wisekey.com/company/investors/financial-reports/. It explains the governance framework and the principles underlying the compensation structure at the Company. In addition, the compensation report sets out the remuneration of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management for 2025, as required under the CO.

 

Recommendation: The Board of Directors recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal number 9.

 

5 / 10

 

 

10.Vote on the Compensation of the Board of Directors and the Executive Management

 

10.1Ratification of the Maximum Aggregate Amount of Compensation of the Board of Directors for the Period Between the 2026 Annual General Meeting and the 2027 Annual General Meeting

 

Proposal of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders ratify an amount of CHF 2,000,000 as the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Board of Directors for the period between the 2026 Annual General Meeting and the 2027 Annual General Meeting.

 

Explanation: In accordance with article 698 para. 3 item 4, article 735 para. 1 CO and article 26 para. 1 letter a of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors must submit the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Board of Directors to shareholders for approval. The proposed maximum aggregate compensation amount of the members of the Board of Directors for the 2026/2027 term has been calculated on the basis of a Board of Directors consisting of eight members and on the basis of the following compensation components: A fixed annual base fee for directorship or, as applicable, an increased fixed base fee for a director’s role as the chair of a Committee, together with an equity-based compensation for directorship or, as applicable, an increased base equity-based compensation for a director’s role as the chair of a Committee.

 

The Board of Directors’ proposed aggregate maximum compensation amount is the same amount as the one proposed and approved at the 2025 Annual General Meeting.

 

As announced, the Board of Directors intends to change the place of incorporation from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands (BVI). The redomiciliation is proposed to be implemented through a cross-border merger of WISeKey International Holding Ltd with and into a wholly owned British Virgin Islands subsidiary, WISeKey Corp (WISeKey BVI). The proposed redomiciliation remains subject to various conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approvals, which WISeKey expects to seek in the third quarter of 2026. Should the proposed redomiciliation be completed, the Company will no longer be incorporated in Switzerland and will instead be governed by BVI law. As a consequence, the requirement under the shareholder resolution relating to the maximum aggregate compensation of the Board of Directors will no longer apply, as BVI law does not provide for an equivalent ratification or approval mechanism in this regard.

 

Recommendation: The Board of Directors recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal number 10.1.

 

10.2Ratification of the Maximum Aggregate Amount of Compensation of the Executive Management for Fiscal Year 2027

 

Proposal of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors proposes that the shareholders ratify an amount of CHF 7,500,000 as the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the Executive Management for fiscal year 2027.

 

Explanation: Pursuant to article 698 para. 3 item 4, article 735 para. 1 CO and article 26 para. 1 item 2 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors must submit the maximum aggregate compensation amount of the Executive Management to shareholders for approval.

 

6 / 10

 

 

As announced and explained under Agenda Item 10.1, the Board of Directors intends to change the place of incorporation from Switzerland to the BVI. The redomiciliation is proposed to be implemented through a cross-border merger of WISeKey International Holding Ltd with and into a wholly owned British Virgin Islands subsidiary, WISeKey Corp (“WISeKey BVI”). The proposed redomiciliation remains subject to various conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approvals, which WISeKey expects to seek in the third quarter of 2026. Should the proposed redomiciliation be completed, the Company will no longer be incorporated in Switzerland and will instead be governed by BVI law. As a consequence, the requirement under the shareholder resolution relating to the maximum aggregate compensation of the Board of Directors will no longer apply, as BVI law does not provide for an equivalent ratification or approval mechanism in this regard.

 

Recommendation: The Board of Directors recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal number 10.2.

 

10.3Ratification of Increase in the Max Aggregate Amount of Compensation for the Executive Management for Fiscal Year 2026

 

Proposal of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders approve an increase in the maximum aggregate compensation amount for Executive Management for the fiscal year 2026, as previously approved at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, from CHF 6,000,000 to CHF 15,000,000.

 

Explanation: Following a comprehensive benchmarking exercise conducted by the Compensation Committee of both SEALSQ Corp (SEALSQ), the Company’s subsidiary whose shares are listed on the Nasdaq and which the Company controls through the special voting rights F shares, and the Company, the Company’s compensation framework was reviewed to better align with market practice among the Company’s peers. This review reflected the Board of Directors’ commitment to maintaining a rigorous, performance-driven approach to executive compensation. In light of SEALSQ’s exceptional operational and financial performance during 2025, including achievements in capital raising and an increase in shareholder value, the Board of SEALSQ and the Board of WISeKey approved a one-off exceptional performance bonus for the relevant members of Executive Management. This bonus is linked to the delivery of measurable outcomes benefiting shareholders, namely the growth in SEALSQ’s market capitalisation and the successful execution of its capital-raising program during the year ended December 31, 2025.

 

At the 2025 Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved a maximum aggregate compensation amount of CHF 6,000,000 for Executive Management for fiscal year 2026. As a result of the one-off bonus described above, the total consolidated compensation payable by WISeKey to its Executive Management for fiscal year 2026 would exceed this approved amount. The Board therefore seeks shareholder ratification for an increase of the previously approved maximum aggregate compensation amount.

 

Recommendation: The Board of Directors recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal number 10.3.

 

7 / 10

 

 

10.4Ratification of Additional Compensation of CHF 1,530,301 to be Granted to the Executive Management in the Form of Options Relating to SEALSQ Ordinary Shares for Fiscal Year 2025

 

Proposal of the Board of Directors: The Board of Directors proposes that shareholders approve an additional amount of compensation for Executive Management in respect of the fiscal year 2025, in the form of options relating to SEALSQ Ordinary Shares, supplementing the maximum aggregate compensation amount of CHF 6,000,000 approved by shareholders at the 2024 Annual General Meeting.

 

Explanation: During the course of late 2024 and 2025, WISeKey and its subsidiary SEALSQ experienced a period of significant market recognition, reflecting growing investor appreciation of the Group’s cybersecurity capabilities and the strategic positioning of SEALSQ within the rapidly expanding market for post-quantum and IoT security solutions. This was reflected in a material appreciation in SEALSQ’s share price during the year.

 

Against this backdrop, the Board of Directors and Compensation Committee commenced discussions in 2024 and subsequently resolved in March 2025 to grant options over Ordinary Shares to members of Executive Management as part of the Company’s performance-based compensation framework. The grant was intended to align the long-term interests of Executive Management with those of shareholders by linking a meaningful component of executive reward to the continued creation of shareholder value.

 

Under Swiss law and the Company’s Articles of Association, the aggregate compensation for Executive Management, including the fair value of equity-based awards such as options over Ordinary Shares at the time of grant, is subject to the maximum aggregate amount approved by shareholders. The option grants made in March 2025, when valued in accordance with applicable accounting and governance standards, result in the total aggregate compensation for Executive Management for fiscal year 2025 exceeding the CHF 6,000,000 authorization previously approved by shareholders at the 2024 Annual General Meeting. The Board therefore respectfully requests that shareholders ratify the additional compensation in the amount of CHF 1,530,301 arising from these grants.

 

Recommendation: The Board of Directors recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal number 10.4.
