SHAPE CAPITAL IN LIQUIDATION AG 
By
Freienbach, 29 October 2012
At the Annual General Meeting on 10 May 2012, the board of
directors of shaPE was authorised to launch a new share
buyback program and it now has decided to buy back up to
107'996 own shares (18.62% of the share capital
registered in the commercial register). The actual number of
the shares bought back is at the discretion of the board of
directors depending, inter alia, on the liquidity available
within shaPE, the number of own shares already held by the
company and prevailing market conditions. The share buyback
will be managed by Zürcher Kantonalbank and carried out via a
second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The second
trading is expected to commence on 16 November 2012 and will
last until 30 October 2015 at the latest. shaPE explicitly
reserves the right to end the program at any time and has no
obligation to buy back any own shares via the second trading
line.
At any subsequent annual general meetings the board of
directors will apply for a cancellation and a capital
reduction of the number of shares repurchased.
The current program started on 1 July 2012 will be early
terminated as of 15 November 2012 (last trading day).
shaPE is a SIX Swiss Exchange-listed investment company with
exposure to a global private equity portfolio. In
2009 shaPE decided to initiate a realization strategy with
the ultimate goal to return the intrinsic value of the
current portfolio to its shareholders. Under this realization
strategy shaPE does not make any new commitments to private
equity funds, but focuses on harvesting the value of the
current portfolio over the coming years. shaPE is listed on
the SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticker symbol "SHPN".
