Spice Private Equity Board of Directors resolves to delist from SIX Swiss Exchange and to file an application for exemptions from certain publicity requirements

Zug, 25 October 2022

Spice Private Equity Ltd (the "Company"; ticker symbol "SPCE") today announces that its Board of Directors has resolved to delist the Company's shares from SIX Swiss Exchange. The Board of Directors will submit the respective application to SIX Exchange Regulation in the coming days. The delisting shall be conditional on the cancellation of the remaining publicly held shares in the Company by way of squeeze-out to be initiated by its majority shareholder GP Swiss Ltd ("GP").

The Board of Directors' decision has been taken before the background of GP's very significant shareholding and conversely the very low free float after the successful completion of the public tender offer in accordance with the transaction agreement of 1 June 2022 between the Company and GP.

The Board of Directors of the Company has further resolved to file an application to SIX Exchange Regulation for an exemption from certain publicity requirements under the SIX listing rules today.
