Reference is made to the Offer Prospectus published today for full offer
restrictions and an overview of certain key differences with U.S. tender
offer procedures and laws.
Notice to U.S. Holders
Shareholders of Schaffner in the United States ("U.S. Holders") are advised
that the registered shares of Schaffner are not listed on a U.S. securities
exchange and that Schaffner is not subject to the periodic reporting
requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder.
The tender offer is being made for the registered shares of Schaffner, a
Swiss company whose shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange Ltd., and is
subject to Swiss disclosure and procedural requirements, which are different
from those of the United States.
The tender offer is being made in the United States pursuant to Section
14(e) of, and Regulation 14E under, the Exchange Act, subject to the
exemption provided under Rule 14d-1(c) under the Exchange Act for a tier 1
tender offer (the "Tier I Exemption"), and otherwise in accordance with the
requirements of Swiss law. Accordingly, the tender offer is subject to
disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to
withdrawal rights, settlement procedures, waiver of conditions and timing of
payments that are different from those applicable under U.S. tender offer
procedures and laws. U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their own legal
financial and tax advisors (including with respect to Swiss law) regarding
the Offer.
As permitted under the Tier I Exemption, the settlement of the tender offer
is based on the applicable Swiss law provisions, which differ from the
settlement procedures customary in the United States, particularly as
regards to the time when payment of the consideration is rendered. The
offer, which is subject to Swiss law, is being made to U.S. Holders in
accordance with the applicable U.S. securities laws, and applicable
exemptions thereunder, in particular the Tier I Exemption. To the extent the
tender offer is subject to U.S. securities laws, those laws only apply to
U.S. Holders of Schaffner's shares and will not give rise to claims on the
part of any other person. It may be difficult for U.S. Holders to enforce
their rights and any claim they may have arising under the of U.S. federal
securities laws, since Schaffner is located in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, and
some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-U.S.
jurisdiction. U.S. Holders may not be able to sue Schaffner or its officers
or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws.
Further, it may be difficult to compel Schaffner and its affiliates to
subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.
Neither the SEC nor any securities commission of any State of the U.S. has
(a) approved or disapproved of the tender offer; (b) passed upon the merits
or fairness of the tender offer; or (c) passed upon the adequacy or accuracy
of the disclosure in relation to the tender offer. Any representation to the
contrary is a criminal offence in the U.S.
