share buyback program
29.10.2012
At the Annual General Meeting on 10 May 2012, the board of directors of shaPE
was authorised to launch a new share buyback program and it now has decided to
buy back up to 107'996 own shares (18.62% of the share capital registered in the
commercial register). The actual number of the shares bought back is at the
discretion of the board of directors depending, inter alia, on the liquidity
available within shaPE, the number of own shares already held by the company and
prevailing market conditions. The share buyback will be managed by Zürcher
Kantonalbank and carried out via a second trading line on the SIX Swiss
Exchange. The second trading is expected to commence on 16 November 2012 and
will last until 30 October 2015 at the latest. shaPE explicitly reserves the
right to end the program at any time and has no obligation to buy back any own
shares via the second trading line.
At any subsequent annual general meetings the board of directors will apply for
a cancellation and a capital reduction of the number of shares repurchased.
The current program started on 1 July 2012 will be early terminated as of 15
November 2012 (last trading day).
