INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K

Annual General Meeting

On May 15, 2026, AC Immune SA (the “Company”) published its Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) Invitation and General Meeting Proxy Card for the 2026 AGM to be held on June 11, 2026.

A copy of the AGM Invitation and General Meeting Proxy Cards are attached as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Report on Form 6-K.

Martin Zügel Appointed Interim CEO

As previously announced, at the Company’s next AGM to be held on June 11, 2026, Dr. Andrea Pfeifer has decided to retire from her role as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) after 23 years at the Company. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) has appointed the Chair, Dr. Martin Zügel, to serve as Interim CEO while the ongoing search for a permanent successor continues. Dr. Zügel has served as Chair of the Board since 2025, a position which will not change as a result of his appointment as Interim CEO. As a consequence of his appointment as Interim CEO of the Company, Dr. Zügel resigned from his position as member of each of the Audit & Finance Committee (the “AFC”) and the Compensation, Nomination & Corporate Governance Committee (the “CNC”). For Dr. Zügel’s full bio, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 13, 2026, under the heading “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees”.

Monika Bütler Appointed Lead Independent Director

Concurrently with the appointment of Dr. Zügel as Interim CEO, the Board appointed Dr. Monika Bütler as Lead Independent Director to ensure appropriate governance oversight. Further information regarding the role and responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director can be found in the AGM invitation. For Dr. Bütler’s full bio, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 13, 2026, under the heading “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees”.

Carl June Appointed Member of the Audit & Finance Committee

While the CNC may operate with a minimum of two members, the AFC needs to consist of a minimum of three members. The Board has therefore appointed Dr. Carl June as member of the AFC effective May 12, 2026. The AFC will therefore be composed of Dr. June, Renée Aguiar-Lucander and Dr. Bütler. For Dr. June’s full bio, see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 13, 2026, under the heading “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees”.
