Widerspruch der Gebuka AG: Die vorliegende Meldung ist nicht in Absprache mit dem Gruppenmitglied Gebuka AG gemacht worden. Gebuka AG stellt dazu folgendes klar: 1. Frau Pöschel handelt nicht, wie in der Meldung angegeben, als "contact person responsible for all group members". Die Gebuka AG hat Frau Pöschel nie als Ihre verantwortliche Kontaktperson bezeichnet. 2. Der Text in den Bemerkungen zur Entstehung der Meldepflicht ist nach Auffassung der Gebuka irreführend. Er müsste richtiger Weise wie folgt lauten: "The remaining 23'625'921 S+B shares representing 20% of the share capital of S+B AG as held by S+B Holding and 2'362'592 S+B shares representing 2% of the share capital of S+B AG as held by Gebuka AG were, as of 28 June 2013, and are still subject to a shareholders' agreement between S+B Holding and Gebuka AG. The remaining 4'727'408 S+B shares held by Gebuka AG which were not covered by this shareholders agreement represent 4% of the shares capital of S+B AG" . Vertreter der Gebuka AG für diese Meldung ist Severin Roelli, LL.M., Attorney at Law, Pestalozzi Attorneys at Law Ltd, Löwenstrasse 1, CH-8001 Zürich, Switzerland
