currently listed share capital, will be sourced from the Company's

existing authorised share capital excluding subscription rights of

existing shareholders. The transaction will be executed by way of an

undocumented private placement and the new shares will be offered

exclusively to institutional investors in Switzerland and qualified

investors outside of Switzerland and the US. The offer price will be

determined by way of an accelerated bookbuilding procedure which will

start immediately. The offer price as well as the number of new shares

offered will be announced upon completion of the bookbuilding, which is

expected to take place on September 18, 2018.

The new shares are expected to be listed and admitted to trading on SIX
