Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR
NOVAVEST Real Estate AG - Shareholder requests to convene Extraordinary General Meeting
CACEIS (Switzerland) SA, acting on behalf of the investment fund MV Immoxtra Schweiz Fonds, which holds 15.24% of the capital of Novavest Real Estate AG, has requested that an Extraordinary General Meeting of Novavest Real Estate AG (SIX Swiss Exchange: NREN) be held with the intention to remove three elected members of the five current members of the Board of Directors (Thomas Sojak, Stefan Hiestand, Daniel Ménard) as well as Thomas Sojak as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Daniel Ménard as member of the Compensation Committee. Instead of them, CACEIS (Switzerland) SA proposes the election of three new members to the Board of Directors (Cyrill Schneuwly incl. Chairman, Ueli Kehl incl. member of the Compensation Committee, Roland Vögele) and further requests amendments to the capital band under Article 3a of the Articles of Association. CACEIS (Switzerland) SA justifies its proposal mainly with the unsatisfactory share price performance of Novavest Real Estate AG.
The Board of Directors of Novavest Real Estate AG will examine the shareholder request and comment on it in due course and provide information on the further procedure.
