SFS : Free float of SFS shares increases to 45%

Upon expiry of the 12-month lock-up period, the free float rises from 42.6% to 45.0%.

In the course of the initial public offering of the SFS Group on 7 May 2014, selected shareholders, the family shareholders as well as the members of the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Board have entered into lock-up agreements. Lock-up agreements support a stable development of the share price.

The members of the Board of Directors and the Group Executive Board of the SFS Group have signed a 12-month lock-up agreement. These shareholders can now trade their shares. The free float therefore increases from 42.6% to now 45.0%.

12-month and 24-month lock-up agreements have been signed by the family shareholders. As they constitute a group of shareholders acting in concert within the meaning of art. 10 of the SESTO-FINMA, the expiry of their lock-up agreements does not result in a further increase of the free float.
