SoftwareOne founding shareholders seek to elect a new board

The three founding shareholders of SoftwareOne said on Monday they plan to replace the board of the Swiss IT service provider following a failed bid last year to delist the company with a sale to U.S. investor Bain Capital. Daniel von Stockar, Rene Gilli and B. Curti Holding, said in a statement they want to vote president Adam Warby and most other members off the board and have called for an "Extraordinary General Meeting to elect a new board with no delay". In total, the three shareholders control some 29.1% of the company stock.
