Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

Major proxy advisors are against cold takeover of control of the Board of Directors at NOVAVEST Real Estate AG

NOVAVEST Real Estate AG (SIX Swiss Exchange: NREN) has taken note of the voting recommendations of major proxy advisors. The international proxy advisors ISS and Glass Lewis entirely reject all motions by the minority shareholder. Swiss proxy advisors Ethos and Inrate also reject most of the proposals.

The Board of Directors of NOVAVEST will continue to do everything in its power to prevent the minority shareholder, who currently holds around 16.5% of the capital and voting rights, from gaining de facto power and control over NOVAVEST by taking over the majority on the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors therefore continues to unanimously recommend that shareholders reject all proposals of the minority shareholder at the Extraordinary General Meeting on 17 January 2025.
