Et voilà, habe gerade folgende Frage geschickt:
"Subject: Investor Inquiry: Impact of Domicile Change on Dividend
Taxation for German/International Shareholders
Dear OPAP Investor Relations Team,
Following the recent communication regarding the combination with
Allwyn and the subsequent change of domicile to Switzerland, I
have a few specific questions regarding the future dividend tax
treatment for non-Greek shareholders, particularly those based in
Germany.
In the Q&A transcript from October 13, 2025, the CEO
mentioned that the company aims to use "sufficient capital
contribution reserves" to ensure that investors will not suffer
Swiss withholding tax for the "foreseeable future."
Regarding this, could you please clarify the following points:
- Scope of Tax Protection: When the CEO
referred to "Greek investors" not being negatively impacted, did
this refer specifically to residents of Greece, or does this
apply to all shareholders (including international/German
investors) holding shares currently listed in Athens?
- Tax Mechanism: Will the future dividends
be paid out from the mentioned "capital contribution reserves"
(Kapitaleinlagereserven), which under Swiss law would allow a
distribution free of Swiss withholding tax (35%) for all
shareholders?
- Timeframe: What is the current estimation
for the "foreseeable future" during which these reserves can
cover the distributions?
- German Shareholders: For a
German-resident shareholder, will the dividend be subject to the
Greek 5% rate, the Swiss 35% rate, or 0% (due to the reserve
structure) once the transaction is complete?
Clear guidance on this matter is crucial for our investment
assessment, as the administrative burden of reclaiming Swiss
withholding tax is a significant factor for retail investors in
Germany.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
