The claim window has closedThe deadline for the 2026 chocolate box was 14 April. Lindt has not announced dates for the next box.

What you get

Lindt & Sprüngli gives a chocolate gift box, the “Bhaltis”, to shareholders who exercise their AGM voting rights. Collect it after the meeting, yourself or through an authorised representative, or authorise the independent proxy to receive it by post.

Lindt posts only within Switzerland. If you live abroad, give a Swiss delivery address.

What it takes

You need to hold shares in the company.

Qualifying shares: LISN registered shares (ISIN CH0010570759). LISP participation certificates have no voting rights and do not qualify.

Be entered in Lindt’s share register with voting rights by the annual cutoff, then vote yourself or through an authorised representative or the independent proxy.

Before buyingA perk is a minor benefit of owning a share, not a reason to buy one. Share prices fall as well as rise, and dealing costs, spreads and tax can exceed a perk’s value. This page is not investment advice. Read about the risks.

Holding through a broker

Ask your bank or broker whether it can register your holding with voting rights. Lindt accepts a signed application through the bank holding the shares or through its share-register office.

Nominees can also register with voting rights if they meet Lindt’s requirements to identify the people whose shares they hold. The rules do not say whether each client then gets a box. Ask the share-register office; we have not tested any broker’s service.

History of the perk

Lindt was giving shareholders chocolate boxes by 2014. In 2020, the gift continued by post, with no collection at the AGM.

  1. Collection and postal delivery

    The gift sheet offered collection after the AGM, or Swiss postal delivery to shareholders who authorised the independent proxy in time.

  2. The gift continued by post

    There was no collection at the AGM that year. Shareholders who authorised the proxy in time still received a box by post, within Switzerland only.

  3. The chocolate suitcase

    The German gift sheet called it a “Schokoladekoffer”, or chocolate suitcase. Shareholders who voted through ShApp in time received it by post automatically.

  4. Collection or Swiss delivery

    The German invitation offered a chocolate package to voting shareholders “again this year”. They could collect it after the AGM or, having authorised the independent proxy, receive it by post. Shareholders abroad could give a Swiss delivery address.
