Big financial loss for EHC Olten in the 2023-24 season

The loss resulted from significantly lower operating income, the almost non-existent central marketing of the Swiss League, higher expenses for import players and additional costs for game operations. While EHC Olten reduced their personnel expenses, the amount saved from that measure was not enough to cover their expenses. 

Liquidity was secured using loans, enabling EHC Olten to meet their obligations in full. These loans are now being converted into new share capital. It is planned to increase the share capital by CHF 600,000. Certificates of subscription will be available as of September 20.

As for the board of directors, Marc Thommen, Rolf Riechsteiner, and Fabian Aebi were reelected. Thomas Roost, Christian Roth, and Pierre Hagmann have been elected as new board members.
