PRESS RELEASE

Results

The application of Leclanché of 29 September 2017 for granting an extension of
the deadline to publish its 2017 half-year report and to file such a report with
SIX Exchange Regulation until 13 October 2017 is granted with the following
reservation (lit. a) and under the following conditions (lit. b):

a. SIX Exchange Regulation reserves the right to suspend trading in the shares
of Leclanché in case the 2017 half year report is not published and not filed
with SIX Exchange Regulation until Friday, 13 October 2017, 11:59 pm CET, at the
latest, in accordance with the provisions regarding ad hoc publicity (art. 53 of
the Listing Rules [LR] in connection with the Directive on Ad hoc Publicity
[DAH].

b. Leclanché is required to publish a notice in accordance with the provisions
regarding ad hoc publicity (art. 53 LR in connection with the DAH) until
Saturday, 30 September 2017, 11:59 pm CET, at the latest. The ad hoc notice must
contain:

- an unaltered reproduction of the wording of section l. of this decision,
placed in a prominent position in the ad hoc notice; and

- the reasons for the application of Leclanché for granting an extension of the
deadline to publish its 2017 half-year report and to file such report with SIX
Exchange Regulation.

Leclanché filed an application to SIX Exchange Regulation to grant an extension
of the deadline to publish its 2017 half year report due to an administrative
delay in registering the capital increase scheduled on 29 September 2017 which
was curing the over indebtedness position of the Company.
