About medmix

medmix resulted from Sulzer's decision to spin off its Applicator Systems division and separately list it on SIX Swiss Exchange with a view to leveraging the business' full potential as a global market leader in high-precision delivery devices serving the healthcare, industrial and consumer markets and to further accelerate its growth. The spin-off was executed in the form of a symmetrical demerger according to art. 29 para b) and art. 31 para 2a) of the Swiss Merger Act, with Sulzer shareholders receiving one medmix share on or around September 30 for each Sulzer share held on September 29, 2021 after close of trading on SIX Swiss Exchange. The spin-off became legally effective upon registration in the commercial registers of the Cantons of Zurich and Zug simultaneously with the incorporation of medmix AG, following the approval of the transaction by the extraordinary general meeting of Sulzer Ltd on September 20, 2021.
