Following the successful completion of the share buyback program in July 2009 ("share buyback program 2008"), the share capital will be reduced by CHF 6´466´700 to CHF 85´000´000. After the buyback and destruction of 64´667 registered shares, the share capital of the Company will consist of 850´000 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 100 each. The repurchased shares were bought at a substantial discount to the net asset value and at a discount of around 0.5% to the price on the first trading line, resulting in a concentration of the net asset value for shareholders.
