Shareholders’
Participation Rights

Voting Rights, Voting Rights Restrictions and Representation: Each registered or bearer share has one voting right. There is no representation restriction in respect of bearer shares. Registered shares can only be represented by other holders of registered shares (persons or legal entities).

Statutory Quorums: The articles of incorporation of Vetropack Holding Ltd specify only the statutory requirements as laid out in Articles 703 and 704 of the Swiss Code of Obligations.

Convocation of the AGA: The invitation is issued at least 20 days prior to the date of the assembly. Within the invi- tation the shareholders are informed of business items to be negotiated during the assembly, as well as motions pro- posed by the BoD, and by shareholders who have demanded that a given business item be placed on the agenda. Extraordinary General Assemblies (EGAs) are convened as necessary and as defined by legal precedent. Sharehol- ders representing at least one tenth of total share capital can demand convocation of an EGA at any time.

Composition of the Agenda for the AGA: Shareholders who represent shares with a nominal value of CHF 1,000,000 can demand that a business item is placed on the agenda. This request must be submitted in writing to the Chairman of the BoD at least 40 days prior to AGA.

Transfer Provisions: There are no ownership nor transfer restrictions for bearer shares. Transfers of registered shares must be reported to the Shareholders’ Office of Vetropack Holding Ltd. and approved by the BoD.

Registrations in the Share Register: For the voting right to be exercised, registration must take place at least 20 days prior to the AGA.

Changes of Control and Defence Measures: There is no statutory regulation in relation to “opting-out” nor “opting- up”. There are no clauses on changes of control in favour of members of the BoD nor the MB.

Period of Notice: Permanent contracts of employment with a maximum period of notice of nine months have been concluded with the MB members (cp. article 22 of the articles of incorporation).
