Planned changes at Von Roll Holding AG

Au / Wädenswil, July 5, 2016 - The activities of Von Roll Holding AG are focused
on its core business of electrical insulation and attractive markets of the
future such as electromobility. It has modernized its factories worldwide over
the past few years.

Von Roll is continuing to follow this path rigorously. In addition to further
investments of around CHF 30 million during the 2016 financial year, the company
also plans to implement extensive measures to reduce its underlying fixed costs
and increase its overall efficiency.

Essentially, Von Roll intends to

- Simplify its global management structure

- Transfer further production units

- Optimize its product portfolio

- Reduce administrative functional areas

- Streamline production processes

These measures would reduce annual fixed costs by more than CHF 18 million.

At the same time, there are plans to reduce headcount by up to 160 jobs,
including around 50 in Switzerland. Consequently, the sites that are affected
have introduced a consultation procedure or will due so in due course.

The restructuring costs are estimated to amount to some CHF 8 million.
Implementing the planned reduction in numbers will enable some CHF 4 million to
be saved during the 2016 financial year itself.
