WALTER MEIER: SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAM SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED

On March 25, 2014, Walter Meier announced that it would be issuing put options as agreed upon by the annual shareholders' meeting. The associated share buyback, which is intended to reduce capital, has now been success- fully completed. The take-up rate for the put options was 99.4 percent.

The share buyback was carried out from April 2 to 14, 2014, using tradable put options, with four put options allowing the holder to tender one registered share at a price of CHF 58.
The put options were exercised on April 15, 2014, with a total of 9'651'356 put options declared for exercise. The tendered shares correspond to a 24.9 percent share of capital, and the share buyback amounts to CHF 139.9 million in financial terms.
Following this successful share buyback, the Board of Directors of Walter Meier will propose to the ordinary annual shareholders' meeting in 2015 to reduce the share capital by canceling the repurchased registered shares. The 2'412'839 tendered registered shares will remain the property of Walter Meier AG until they are canceled.
Excluding these shares owned by the company itself, the stake held by the principal shareholder Greentec AG fell from 65.9 to 55.1 percent. On this basis, Anja Egger-Meier currently holds 11.5 percent, with the free float being increased to 33.4 percent (compared to 23.7 percent before the transaction at the end of
2013).
