Extraordinary General Meeting: main proposals

As announced on 13 May 2016, an Extraordinary General Meeting was requested by Alpine Select AG and Absolute Invest AG (collectively referred to as "Alpine Select"), which directly and indirectly hold 58.5% of ALTIN shares, according to the latest disclosures. Among the items on the agenda which is now available, the following proposals have been brought forward:

- Capital reduction by nominal value repayment

Reduction of ALTIN AG's share capital from CHF 58'645'002 (divided into 3'449'706 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 17 each) by CHF 58'541'510.82 to CHF 103'491.18 through the reduction of the nominal value per share, CHF 17, by CHF 16.97 to CHF 0.03 and to use the amount of the nominal value reduction for repayment to shareholders.

- Payment of a dividend through a partial dissolution of the legal reserve from capital contribution approved by the Federal Tax Authority

The legal reserve from capital contribution approved by the Federal Tax Authority is to be partially dissolved and distributed to shareholders through the payment of a dividend out of the legal reserve from capital contribution approved by the Federal Tax Authority for the business year 2015 in an amount of CHF 7.03 per registered share with a nominal value of CHF 17 for 3'449'706 registered shares: CHF 24'251'433.18.

The Board of Directors of ALTIN AG proposes to execute the repayment of the nominal value as well as the distribution of dividends out of capital contribution reserves simultaneously, prospectively in September 2016. The Board of Directors of ALTIN AG recommends to approve the proposals submitted by Alpine Select.

Delisting from the London Stock Exchange

The Board of Directors has reviewed ALTIN's dual listing structure and has concluded that, having regard to the composition and location of ALTIN's shareholders, the costs and additional administration associated with maintaining a secondary listing in London outweighs the benefits of that listing. Accordingly, the Board has resolved to request the cancellation of the listing of ALTIN's registered shares on the Official List of the UK Listing Authority and the cancellation of the admission to trading of the shares on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange plc with effect from 31 July 2016. Following such cancellation, all transactions in ALTIN shares will be on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
