Second trading line
04.12.2008
Pfaeffikon SZ, 4 December 2008 --- The share buyback program announced by shaPE Capital AG on 14 November 2008 has been approved by the Swiss Takeover Board. The second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange is open as of today and will be maintained until 30 June 2010 at the latest (Valor: 4.832.662, ISIN: CH0048326620, Ticker: SHPNE). Since the regulations of the Swiss Takeover Board limit market making activities of the company on the first trading line, investors willing to sell their shares may also transact through the second trading line. As the shares are currently trading below their nominal value of CHF 100, also a sale through the second trading line has in principle no tax implications for individual investors resident in Switzerland holding their shares as part of their private assets.
