Holcim to Delist From Euronext Paris

Regulatory News:

Holcim Ltd (EURONEXT PARIS: HOLN / SIX MARKET: HOLN) announces the delisting of its shares (ISIN: CH0012214059) from Euronext Paris to simplify its trading structure, effective 30 December 2022. This decision will focus the trading of Holcim shares in its primary market, the SIX Swiss Exchange (SIX), reflecting the shift in volumes away from Euronext Paris over the years. This simplification will further reduce administrative requirements and costs. The Board of Directors of Euronext Paris S.A. has approved this decision.

To support this delisting, Holcim is implementing a voluntary sales facility procedure in accordance with the rules and regulations of Euronext Paris.

Holcim shares will continue to trade under the symbol “HOLN” on the SIX.

The full details of the delisting and timetable are below.

Holcim Euronext Delisting Annex:

Holcim Ltd shareholders trading on Euronext Paris will be offered the following options:

1) Keep their Holcim Euronext Shares: holders of Holcim Euronext Shares will be able to trade their Holcim Euronext Shares on Euronext Paris until the last trading date, i.e., 29 December 2022. After this date, holders of Holcim Euronext Shares will be able to trade their Holcim Euronext Shares on the SIX Market, subject to the terms applied by their financial intermediary and their custody arrangements.

Holders of Holcim Euronext Shares should verify as soon as possible whether their financial intermediary will be able to continue to hold their shares in a securities account after the delisting and whether their financial intermediary will be able to trade their shares on the SIX Market.

Important note to the attention of holders of Holcim Euronext Shares under the pure registered form (au nominatif pur) in the books of BNP Paribas: after the delisting, these holders, except the current and former company employees, will have to transfer their shares to a securities account held by another financial intermediary as BNP Paribas (securities services branch) cannot trade on the SIX Market. A temporary solution will be put in place to allow these shareholders to continue to hold their shares in securities accounts held by BNP Paribas and to ensure a smooth transition to a new financial intermediary during 12 months after the delisting. During this period, the relevant share will remain registered with Euroclear for this purpose and shareholders will continue to receive their dividend, however they will not be able to send transaction orders to BNP Paribas. These holders are therefore invited to contact BNP Paribas as soon as possible to organize the transfer of the Holcim Euronext Shares to a securities account held by another financial intermediary if they want to be able to sell their shares in the future on the SIX Market. If they opt to keep their shares in the securities account held by BNP Paribas during this 12 month period, the relevant shareholders will anyway have to transfer their shares to a new financial intermediary before trading on the SIX Market.
