Justification:
The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on 24 March 2014 decided to exchange the existing shares of the Company for new registered shares of the Company.

Based on the decision of the Company’s Board of Directors, the deadline for the shareholders to exchange their shares was repeatedly extended and the exchange is still ongoing.

According to the information recorded in the list of shareholders maintained by the Company, not all shareholders of the Company had exchanged their shares within the time limit set by the original invitation or as of the date of this invitation.

In accordance with Section 214 of Act No. 90/2012 Coll., on Commercial Companies and Cooperatives (hereinafter referred to as the “CCC”) and the provisions of Section 769 of Act No. 513/1991 Coll., the Commercial Code, as in force on 31 December 2013, the Company hereby invites shareholders to submit shares issued before 1 January 2014 for exchange for new certificated shares of the Company with the issue date of 24 March 2014.

Share exchange:
The exchange of the Company’s original shares for new registered shares will take place until 14 September 2018 at the Company’s registered office.

Prior to the exchange, the shareholder is obliged to provide the Company with his/her name, residence and date of birth (in the case of natural persons) or company name, registered office, identification number (in the case of legal entities), which will be marked on the new shares and entered in the list of shareholders.

The shareholder is also obliged to provide the Company with the number of his bank account held with a person authorised to provide banking services in a country which is a full member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The bank account will also be entered in the Company’s register of shareholders, and the Company will pay any cash consideration associated with the shareholding to the shareholder into that account.

If the existing shares of the Company are held by a pledgee or other person who is entitled to hold the shares instead of the shareholder, the obligation to present the shares shall be fulfilled by that person. The shareholder is obliged to notify this person. If the shares are subject to a lien, such person shall notify the Company of the existence of the lien, which shall also be indicated on the shares.

Notice to Shareholders:
A shareholder who has not yet presented his shares for exchange and has not notified the Company of his name and residence or registered office shall not be entitled to exercise the voting rights attached to the shares in respect of which he is in default during the period of such default. In respect of these shares, the shareholder will also not be entitled to a share in the profit if the General Meeting decides on its distribution at the time of the shareholder’s default.

Existing shares of the Company that are not submitted to the Company for exchange even by 14 September 2018 will be declared void and sold through a public auction by a securities dealer. The proceeds from the sale, after setting off the Company’s claims against the shareholder arising in connection with the invalidation of the shares and their sale, will be paid without undue delay to the person concerned.

Further information:
Further information regarding the share exchange process will be published on the Company’s website www.spolchemie.cz in the “Profile” section for investors in the “Other information for shareholders” section.
