Page 32: SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY EXECUTION CONTINUING · PDF fileSUCCESSFUL STRATEGY EXECUTION CONTINUING ... Concrete Waterproofing Roofing Flooring & Coating 11 . 12 ... SIKAS VALUES AND PRINCIPLES

FUNDAMENTAL REASONS TO OPPOSE HOSTILE TAKEOVER ATTEMPT BY SAINT-GOBAIN

32

1. Lack of industrial logic

2. Saint-Gobain will execute control with only 16% of the capital

3. No adequate representation of public shareholders on the Board

4. Saint-Gobain is a direct competitor of Sika

5. Sika loses A- credit rating

6. Sika’s Growth Model at risk

Page 33: SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY EXECUTION CONTINUING · PDF fileSUCCESSFUL STRATEGY EXECUTION CONTINUING ... Concrete Waterproofing Roofing Flooring & Coating 11 . 12 ... SIKAS VALUES AND PRINCIPLES

“The Board of Directors reserves the right to refuse an acquirer of registered shares as shareholder, if the number of registered shares held by him exceeds 5% of the total number of registered shares entered in the commercial register.

[…¨]natural persons or legal entities or, which act in concert in view of a circumvention of registration limitations, are regarded under these provisions as a single buyer.”

Many other Swiss companies have a similar restriction of transferability with a threshold (Vinkulierung) such as: Nestlé, Novartis, Swatch, Swisscom, Guivaudan, Sonova, Schindler, Lindt & Sprüngli.
