Castle Private Equity AG

On 13 June 2016 Castle Private Equity Ltd. announced a share buyback programme by issuing put options tradable on SIX Swiss Exchange. The put options have been traded from 16 to and including 29 June 2016. Every 20 put options entitled shareholders to tender one registered share at the exercise price of CHF 17.50. In total, 1,193,914 registered shares were tendered which correspond to 3.57% of the share capital and voting rights registered in the commercial register (resp. 4.08% of the share capital and voting rights after the intended capital reduction). The net purchase price (exercise price minus 35% withholding tax calculated on the difference between the exercise price and the nominal value) will be paid on 4 July 2016. It is intended that approval for the cancellation of all registered shares repurchased will be sought at the Annual General Meeting in 2017.
