Extraordinary General Meeting of EFG International

Zurich, 26 July 2016. At the Extraordinary General Meeting held in Zurich today, the shareholders of EFG International approved the proposal of the Board of Directors.

In connection with the previously announced financing structure for the acquisition of BSI, the shareholders at today's Extraordinary General Meeting of EFG International approved the proposal of the Board of Directors to create additional authorized capital of 15,000,000 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.50 each.

Taking into account that the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 29 April 2016 have already approved the creation of authorized capital of up to 75,958,871 registered shares, EFG International will be able to fully satisfy the share component of the purchase price for BSI.

As announced on 11 May 2016, the final size of the share component of the purchase price payable to BTG Pactual will amount to 30% of EFG's share capital immediately post-closing of the transaction, corresponding to 85.8 million shares as of the date of the announcement. The final number of shares to be issued from authorized capital to BTG Pactual will be determined immediately prior to closing, based on the number of the then issued and outstanding registered shares of EFG International.
