13. Information policy

The Group is committed to communicating in a timely and transparent way to shareholders, potential investors, financial analysts, and customers. To this end, the Board of Directors takes an active interest in fostering good relations and engagement with shareholders and other stakeholders. In addition, the Company complies with its obligations under the rules of SIX Swiss Exchange, including the requirements on the dissemination of material and price-sensitive information.

The Group publishes an annual report that provides audited consolidated financial statements, audited financial statements and information about the Company, including the business results, strategy, products and services, corporate governance, corporate responsibility, and executive compensation. The annual report is published within four months of the December 31 balance sheet date. The annual results are also summarized in the form of a press release. In addition, the Company releases results for the first half of each year within three months of the June 30 balance sheet date. The published half-year and annual consolidated financial statements comply with the requirements of Swiss company law, the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange and IFRS Accounting Standards. Furthermore, the Group publishes trading statements for the first and third quarters in the form of a press release. The quarterly press releases contain unaudited financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.

The Company’s annual report, half-year report and quarterly releases are distributed pursuant to the rules and regulations of SIX Swiss Exchange and are announced via press releases and investor conferences in person or via telephone. An archive containing annual reports, half-year reports, quarterly releases and related presentations can be found at https://investor.sig.biz.

The CEO, CFO and Investor Relations are responsible for communicating with investors and representatives of the financial community, media and other stakeholders. In addition to the publication of results and the Annual General Meeting, the Company also regularly participates in country or sector (non-deal) conferences. Whenever possible and appropriate, meetings with investors are organized via video conferencing technology to reduce carbon emissions and travel costs. In between, however, physical meetings are also held at the investors’ premises (roadshow) or at the Group’s headquarters. An overview of upcoming events as well as a list of bank analysts covering the share and consensus figures can be found on the Company’s website.

The corporate responsibility section of the annual report is prepared in accordance with the reporting on non-financial matters according to art. 964a et. seq. CO. An archive containing the corporate responsibility reports that have been prepared in previous years can be found at https://www.sig.biz/en/sustainability/cr-reports.

The Group reports in accordance with the disclosure requirements of art. 124 FMIA and the ad hoc publication requirements of art. 53 of the listing rules of SIX Swiss Exchange. At https://www.sig.biz/en/investors/contact, interested parties can register for the free Company email distribution list to receive direct, up-to-date information at the time of any potentially price-sensitive event (ad hoc announcements). Ad hoc announcements may be viewed at https://www.sig.biz/investors/en/news-events/media-releases at the time of notification to SIX Swiss Exchange and for three years thereafter.

Notices to shareholders are made by publication in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce (Schweizerisches Handelsamtsblatt). To the extent the Company communicates to its shareholders by mail, such communications will be sent by ordinary mail to the recipient and address recorded in the share register or in such other form as the Board of Directors deems fit.
