  Dividend distribution

  The Board of Directors is proposing the distribution of a dividend in the form of (1) a cash dividend and (2) a distribution of treasury shares held by the Company, on the following terms:

  (1) Each Compagnie Financière Tradition S.A. bearer share held at the close of trading on the day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date, scheduled for 27 May 2022, shall entitle the bearer to receive a cash payment of CHF 5.00 per bearer share with a nominal value of CHF 2.50, up to a maximum of 7,654,385 shares (excluding treasury shares held by the Company at the date of the General Meeting).

  (2) The holder of each Compagnie Financière Tradition S.A. bearer share held at the close of trading on the business day immediately preceding the ex-dividend date, scheduled for 27 May 2022, shall be allotted one bearer share of Compagnie Financière Tradition S.A. for every 200 shares held, to be deducted from the general reserve, and one bearer share for every 200 shares held, to be deducted from the reserve from capital contributions, subject to the restrictions set out below.

  Under no circumstances will fractional shares of Compagnie Financière Tradition SA be allotted. Shareholders who do not hold a sufficient number of bearer shares to enable them to obtain one Compagnie Financière Tradition SA share or who hold bearer shares representing less than a multiple of 200, shall receive a cash payment corresponding to two hundredth of the Reference Price for each of their shares not entitling them to one Compagnie Financière Tradition SA share; the Reference Price shall correspond to the average closing price of Compagnie Financière Tradition SA shares on SIX Swiss Exchange for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date of the General Meeting (e.g. from 26 April to 23 May 2022), less CHF 5.00 corresponding to the dividend paid in cash; the Reference Share Price shall be communicated on 23 May 2022 after 5.40 pm CEST, and at the General Meeting.

  The laws in certain jurisdictions outside Switzerland may restrict or prohibit the allotment of shares without the publication of documents other than this resolution, or they may subject the offer of such an allotment to specific requirements, authorisation from a state or other authority, registration with or announcement to such an

authority, or even an examination of compliance. The share allotment is not intended for shareholders who are subject to any such laws. Those shareholders ("Shareholders Concerned") shall receive a compensatory cash payment for all shares held, corresponding to two hundredth of the Reference Price for each share presented by the Shareholders Concerned. In order to benefit from this compensatory payment, the Shareholders Concerned must send the Company an original (paper) copy of their dividend statement, together with the relevant form, duly completed and signed, in which they must provide appropriate proof of their status as a Shareholder Concerned. The application form for compensatory payment may be obtained from Compagnie Financière Tradition SA, rue Langallerie 11, 1003 Lausanne, Switzerland. It is the responsibility of any person in possession of this document to inform themselves about and to comply with any restrictions of this type. Compagnie Financière Tradition SA declines all responsibility in this regard.

The distributed bearer shares of Compagnie Financière Tradition SA shall be subject to the provisions of the Articles of Association and shall enjoy all the rights attaching to shares of the Company as of the day after the General Meeting.

The total amount of the dividend and the retained earnings carried forward shall be determined and communicated after 5.40 pm CEST on 23 May 2022, as well as at the General Meeting.

Swiss withholding tax of 35%, calculated on the Reference Share Price of the distributed shares of Compagnie Financière Tradition S.A. and on the cash dividend, shall be deducted from amounts paid in cash. Shareholders are invited to consult their usual tax adviser about the tax treatment of the dividend distribution, as it applies to their particular situation. Compagnie Financière Tradition SA declines all responsibility in this regard.

The right attached to each bearer share is not tradable.

Compagnie Financière Tradition SA shares go ex-dividend on 27 May 2022.

The dividend will be paid in cash and in Compagnie Financière Tradition SA bearer shares on 3 June 2022 (value date).
