Zurich, April 14, 2015. - Conzzeta AG's Board of Directors confirmed today the
proposal to spin off the Real Estate business unit; the unit will be
incorporated in Plazza AG, which is to be newly formed. At the same time, the
Conzzeta shares will be split in a ratio of 1:4. Conzzeta's Board of Directors
has fixed June 22, 2015 as the date for the Extraordinary General Meeting of
Shareholders. The invitation and agenda of the General Meeting as well as
further documents will be sent out on April 21. It is the common intent of the
Conzzeta Board of Directors and the future Plazza Board to list Plazza's
'category A' registered share on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
The Conzzeta Board of Directors is proposing to the EGM that each shareholder
should receive, free of charge, four split Conzzeta shares as well as four new
shares in Plazza. Share allocation will take place within the same category
(registered share A and registered share B). The share capital of Plazza AG is
to be set at CHF 1035 million. The share capital of Conzzeta AG is to be reduced
by the same amount.
After the spin-off, Plazza AG's registered share A is to be listed and traded on
the SIX Swiss Exchange. The first trading day under the PLAN stock exchange
symbol is likely to be June 26, 2015. Plazza AG's registered share B will be
traded on the off-exchange trading platforn of the Zurich Cantonal Bank.
All the nonoperating properties owned by Conzzeta are consolidated in the Plazza
Immobilien business unit. The proposed spin-off takes account of the difference
in character between the industrial activities and the real estate business
unit. The independently estimated market value at the end of 2014 was around
CHF 462 million, not taking into account the related provisions for deferred
taxes amounting to some CHF 70 million. As part of the spin-off, Plazza will be
provided with an additional cash injection of CHF 100 million (net) to further
its expansion plans.
