On 3 April 2013, the SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX) extended from 7 April 2013 until
31 May 2013 (inclusively) the exemption granted to Bank Sarasin & Co. Ltd from
some disclosure duties arising from the listing of its equity securities. As per
the SIX's decision, Bank Sarasin is exempted from certain disclosure obligations
contemplated in the SIX' listing rules, namely, the duty to report management
transactions, to publish a corporate calendar and to report certain corporate
events to the SIX.
In addition, the SIX extended Bank Sarasin's deadline to publish and submit the
2012 annual report in accordance with the listing rules applicable to its listed
equity securities, bonds and derivatives from 30 April 2013 until 1st July 2013.
The duties to comply with the disclosure obligations relating to the annual
report are suspended accordingly, namely the duty to publish a corporate
calendar including the date of publication of the financial statements and the
duty to publish and submit the annual report to the SIX .
Sarasin requested these exemptions from SIX after Safra announced on 23 October
2012 that it had submitted a request before a court in Basel for the
cancellation of Bank Sarasin's remaining publicly held registered B shares. The
request is still pending and the delisting of Bank Sarasin's registered B shares
to which the SIX agreed will become effective when the decision of the Basel
court to cancel the remaining publicly held registered B shares of Sarasin shall
have become final.
