Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR
Zurich Switzerland, September 26, 2024
Temporary exemption from certain duties under the conditions for maintaining the listing in view of the delisting on November 8, 2024
Crealogix Holding AG (Crealogix) announced today that by decision dated September 23, 2024, SIX Exchange Regulation AG (SER) has granted a temporary exemption from certain duties under the conditions for maintaining the listing, which SER had already previously granted to Crealogix to a large extent (see Crealogix's ad hoc announcement of March 8, 2024). The exemption will take effect upon publication of this ad hoc announcement and, with regard to those aspects for which SER had already granted an exemption, is thus extended beyond its original period of validity until delisting. As a result of the exemption, Crealogix will not have to publish the 2024 annual report.
Section I of the decision of SER of September 23, 2024 reads as follows:
