Capital structure
1. Share capital as of 31 March 2019
The registered shares (Namenaktien) are unitary shares, giving all shareholders the same rights in the companyʼs capital and the same participation rights. There are no restrictions on transferability. Only shareholders listed in the share register may exercise their participation rights. Shareholders are listed with voting rights in the share register if they explicitly declare that they have acquired the shares in their own name and for their own account. The voting and other rights of treasury shares are suspended.
The shares take the form of book-entry securities, and are not documented in a multiple share document, in certificates, in an individual share document or in any other form. Shareholders are not entitled to request delivery of a share certificate, but may request confirmation of their status as a shareholder from the Company at any time. The Company maintains a book-entry security ledger in accordance with Art. 973c of the Swiss Code of Obligations.
For the exact wording of the regulations, please refer to the Companyʼs articles of association, which are available on the Companyʼs website www.zueblin.ch or can be ordered directly from the Company.

The Companyʼs shares are freely transferable without any restrictions. A share register is maintained for the registered shareholders, which records the first and last names, address and nationality (registered office in the case of legal entities) of the shareholders and beneficiaries. Only those listed in the share register are recognized by the Company as shareholders or beneficiaries.
Purchasers of registered shares or a rightful ownership to registered shares will, on request, be listed in the share register as shareholders or beneficiaries with voting rights if they make an explicit declaration that they have acquired the shares or the usufruct to the shares in their own names and for their own account. If the purchaser is not prepared to make this declaration, the Board of Directors may refuse registration with voting rights. This restriction on registration also applies to shares which are subscribed or acquired by exercising a subscription, option or conversion right.
