CEPD Rejects DocMorris Mischaracterization and Advocates Governance Reform

On April 16, 2026, CEPD N.V. firmly rejected claims by DocMorris AG framing its proposals for the upcoming AGM as a "backdoor takeover." CEPD, the largest shareholder with over 15% of DocMorris's shares, argues this narrative diverts attention from the Board's governance failures, which contributed to a 98% drop in share value over five years.

CEPD emphasizes its commitment to enhancing governance and steering DocMorris towards becoming a leading, profitable healthcare platform. It does not intend to take over DocMorris but rather seeks improved governance. CEPD has nominated four independent directors and proposes a Lead Independent Director for better decision-making.

A shift in board leadership is key, according to CEPD, as the current Chair has overseen significant shareholder value destruction. CEPD declined a board seat due to unmet preconditions. The call to action for all shareholders is to vote at the AGM on May 12.
