Annual & Special Corporate Meetings/Company Information/LifeWatch AG
28.05.2013
Neuhausen am Rheinfall / Switzerland - As announced, LifeWatch AG filed this
morning with FINMA a notice because of the suspicion of the violation of
disclosure obligations and has asked for the suspension of the voting rights of
the members of the largest group of shareholders. FINMA has taken note that
there are indications of non-disclosed participation in the group. Therefore,
FINMA decided to grant the shareholders concerned the opportunity to submit a
response to the company's filing by 5 June 2013, and thus not granting an ex-
parte injunction allowing the suspension. Given that it is open whether and to
what extent FINMA will order a suspension of voting rights, the Board of
Directors of LifeWatch AG has decided to call off for the time being the Annual
General Meeting in Zurich scheduled for May 29, 2013. A new date will be fixed
and announced as soon as possible, once there is clarity regarding the
suspension of voting rights.
