EGL AG : EGL shares to be delisted

Dietikon,  Monday, March 5, 2012

The shares of EGL AG will be delisted from the Swiss stock exchange on 9 March 2012. As a result, SIX Swiss Exchange has extended the exemption from listing rules obligations to 9 March 2012. In doing so, EGL AG remains exempt from certain disclosure obligations until delisting.

SIX Swiss Exchange has released EGL AG from the following listing obligations up to the date of delisting on 9 March 2012:

a) Annual reporting 2010/11 (Art. 49 Listing Rules)
b) Corporate calendar (Art. 52 Listing Rules)
c) Ad hoc publicity (Art. 53 Listing Rules)
d) Disclosure of management transactions (Art. 56 Listing Rules
e) Further duties to provide information (Art. 55 Listing Rules, connected to Circular No. 1, Notification of changes in rights attached to securities, Annex 1, Clause 1.03 f., 1.08, 2.01, 3.05 f., 5.02 f., 5.05)

However, EGL AG will continue to comply with disclosure obligations regarding outstanding bonds in the future.

Background
In June 2011, Axpo Holding AG issued a public tender offer for all bearer shares. On 16 February 2012, the Commercial Court of the canton of Aargau declared the remaining EGL shares (0.2%) still on the market as invalid. The verdict is now in effect. Axpo is thereby the sole shareholder of 100 percent of EGL shares. EGL shares will be delisted on 9 March. As a result, no public EGL Annual General Meeting will take place on 30 March 2012.
