Airopack Technology Group receives extension from SIX Swiss Exchange for
publishing its 2015 Annual Report
- SIX Swiss Exchange has granted extension until 31st May 2016 with reservations
and conditions
- ATG releases statement on key financials for the year 2015
Baar, 29th April 2016- Airopack Technology Group AG ("ATG") today announced that
SIX Swiss Exchange has granted ATG an extension until 31st May 2016 for
publishing and submitting its annual report for the year 2015. ATG's annual
report 2015 was previously scheduled to be published by 29th April 2016.
As previously disclosed, ATG's financial results are largely determined by the
Airolux joint venture. Given the deadlock situation that existed for the joint
venture, the annual accounts of the joint venture companies could not be
approved by the two partners and the respective consolidation was not possible.
Based on the settlement agreement that was reached between ATG and Resilux on
26th April 2016, ATG will take over ownership of the joint venture companies and
will finalise the annual accounts and the consolidation. ATG continues to devote
significant resources to complete and file its annual report 2015 as soon as
possible.
SIX Swiss Exchange has requested that ATG publish the following information:
I. The application of Airopack Technology Group AG of 26 April 2016 for granting
an extension of the deadline to publish its 2015 annual report and to file such
report with SIX Exchange Regulation until 31 May 2016 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
in Airopack Technology Group AG In case the 2015 annual report is not published
until Tuesday, 31 May 2016, 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. Airopack Technology Group AG is required to publish a notice in accordance
with the provisions regarding ad hoc publicity (art. 53 LR in connection with
the DAH) until Friday, 29 April 2016, 07:30 am CET, at the latest. The ad hoc
notice must contain:
- an unaltered reproduction of the wording of section I. of this decision,
placed in a prominent position in the ad hoc notice; and
- a statement, as precisely as possible, regarding profit/loss, revenues and
EBITDA for the business year 2015 of Airopack Technology Group AG; and
- the reasons for the application of Airopack Technology Group AG for granting
an extension of the deadline to publish its 2015 annual report and to file such
report with SIX Exchange Regulation.
Statement on key financials for the year 2015
SIX Swiss Exchange has requested that ATG publish a statement, a precisely as
possible, regarding profit/loss, revenues and EBITDA for its business year 2015.

judgements on various profit and loss and balance sheet items. The following
unaudited consolidated key figures are based on the current best estimates made
