LAUSANNE, Switzerland & SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) today announced that Guy Gecht was elected as Logitech’s new chairperson at its annual general meeting (AGM) by the Company’s shareholders.

All incumbent nominees to the board of directors were re-elected for a one-year term. All other proposals were also approved by shareholders.

“I am honored to be elected chair and deeply appreciate the confidence of our shareholders and my fellow directors,” said Guy Gecht. “We are profoundly grateful to Wendy for her steadfast leadership during a period of meaningful change, leaving Logitech an even stronger, better-positioned company across many key metrics. I look forward to working with the board and Hanneke to continue executing our strategy, drive innovation, and create long-term value for our shareholders.”

“On behalf of the entire management team, I want to extend our deepest gratitude to Wendy for her leadership and significant contributions to Logitech,” said Hanneke Faber, Logitech’s chief executive officer. “We are thrilled to welcome Guy Gecht into his new role as chairperson. I look forward to partnering closely with him to build on our strong momentum and deliver sustainable growth for the business.”

Logitech expects the payment date for the dividend to be September 24, 2025 and the record date for the dividend to be September 23, 2025.
