Meyer Burger's largest shareholder, Sentis Capital PCC, Cell 3 (Sentis Capital) has committed, in a total amount of up to CHF 50 million, to exercise all of its subscription rights, to potentially buy subscription rights in the market and, as a backstop, to purchase shares that have not been subscribed for in the rights issue. In fulfillment of this commitment, Sentis Capital has exercised all of its subscription rights and thus subscribed for around 2,090 million offered shares. Furthermore, Sentis Capital has purchased and exercised additional subscription rights and thus subscribed for around 1,186 million additional offered shares, bringing the aggregate number of offered shares subscribed by Sentis Capital to around 3,276 million at CHF 32.76 million.

As mentioned in prior announcements and in the prospectus relating to the rights offering, shares with respect to which subscription rights have not been validly exercised will be placed in the market.
