Bank Sarasin & Cie AG : De-listing contemplated for 21 May 2013: The Court of Appeal of Basel-City cancels the remaining publicly held Sarasin B shares

On 25 April 2013, the Court of Appeal of the canton of Basel-City cancelled the remaining publicly held registered B shares of Bank Sarasin. This decision followed Safra's public takeover offer for all publicly held registered B shares of Bank Sarasin, which was completed in October 2012, and as a result of which Safra held 99% of the share capital and voting rights of Bank Sarasin.

At the request of Bank Sarasin, the SIX Swiss Exchange has agreed to the delisting of the Sarasin B Shares. In compliance with the contemplated timetable, it is expected that the delisting takes place on Tuesday 21 May 2013 and that the Sarasin B shares be traded for the last time on the SIX Swiss Exchange on Friday 17 May 2013 (last trading day).
