At the Annual General Meeting of Compagnie Financière Tradition SA held on May

group–s annual accounts, a dividend of CHF 3,00 per bearer share of Compagnie
Financière Tradition SA with a nominal value of CHF 2,50 each (Shares). The
dividend will be made against free reserves.
Shares will be traded ex-dividend as of May 27, 2015.

The AGM decided that each shareholder can elect to receive the dividend in

Board proposal published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce on April
30, 2015.
The election period runs from May 27, 2015 to June 3, 2015 (noon CEST).

The issue price of the new Shares is set at CHF 57; 19 No 17 coupons will
therefore be required to obtain one new Share.

To enable payment of the dividend to shareholders who elect to receive new
Shares, the AGM voted to increase the existing share capital by a maximum of
CHF 1–125–000,00, through the issuance of a maximum of 450–000 Shares, up to a

Obligations, will be published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce on
