Invitation to the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders

Dear Shareholder,

Despite the recent easing of Covid-19 protection measures, the Board of Directors has decided to conduct the Annual General Meeting 2022 without the physical presence of the shareholders. This is in accordance with article 27 of the Covid-19 Ordinance 3. The Board of Directors regrets having to forego your presence but considers this step to be necessary as the protection of the health of shareholders and employees remains a top priority for Cembra.

Shareholders may exercise their voting rights by issuing a power of attorney containing instructions for the independent proxy (Law Office Keller Partnership). Detailed information on this can be found under "Administrative Details" at the end of this invitation.

In this extraordinary situation, it is important to the Board of Directors that you as a shareholder can contact us and ask questions. Please send these questions to Investor Relations (investor.relations@cembra.ch) until 19 April 2022.

The Annual Report 2021 (incl. the Compensation Report) and the reports of the statutory auditors are available for inspection at the Bank's headquarters (Bändliweg 20, 8048 Zurich, Switzerland). The Annual Report 2021 is also available online on the website: www.cembra.ch/investors. A printed Business Review will be sent to shareholders at their request.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your trust and confidence in Cembra.

On behalf of the Board of Directors
