The existing shareholders of Zur Rose Group AG have exercised subscription rights for 889,239 new shares of the up to 2,665,476 new shares offered in the rights issue to existing shareholders (the "Rights Offering").

To raise net proceeds of around CHF 200 million, up to 1,776,237 shares for which subscription rights have not been validly exercised by existing shareholders during the rights exercise period are being placed via a public offering to eligible investors in Switzerland and through private placements in certain jurisdictions outside Switzerland and the United States in reliance on Regulation S of the United States Securities Act of 1933 as amended (the "Securities Act"). Shares are also being offered to qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) in the United States as defined in, and in reliance on, Rule 144A of the Securities Act and in compliance with applicable securities law (the "International Offering").

The book for the International Offering is currently open. The offer price for the new shares, and the final total number of new shares to be issued and sold in the offering, will be determined based on a bookbuilding process, which is expected to end on 29 November 2018. However, as outlined in the offering and listing memorandum, Zur Rose Group together with the Joint Global Coordinators reserves the right to end the bookbuilding period earlier, without any prior notice, at any time and for any reason. The offer price and the number of shares placed will be published upon completion of the bookbuilding process.

The listing and first trading day of the new registered shares on SIX Swiss Exchange is scheduled for 3 December 2018. The new registered shares are expected to be delivered against payment of the offer price on 4 December 2018.
