The actual number of the shares bought back is at the discretion of the board of directors depending, inter alia, on the liquidity available within shaPE, the number of own shares already held by the company and prevailing market conditions. The share buyback will be managed by Zürcher Kantonalbank and carried out via a second trading line on the SIX Swiss Exchange. The second trading is expected to commence on 16 November 2012 and will last until 30 October 2015 at the latest. shaPE explicitly reserves the right to end the program at any time and has no obligation to buy back any own shares via the second trading line. At any subsequent annual general meetings the board of directors will apply for a cancellation and a capital reduction of the number of shares repurchased. The current program started on 1 July 2012 will be early terminated as of 15 November 2012 (last trading day). end of ad-hoc-announcement ================================================================================ shaPE is a SIX Swiss Exchange-listed investment company with exposure to a global private equity portfolio.
