Agenda item / proposal:
Proposal of the Board of Directors:
The Board of Directors proposes to approve the merger agreement dated June 26, 2025 (the Merger Agreement) between SunMirror AG (as transferring company) and SunMirror A AG (as receiving company) and the delisting of the shares of SunMirror AG that will result from the relevant merger.
Explanations:
On June 4, 2025, the Company issued a press release giving a strategic update on the Company and indicating to shareholders two paths, reflecting the Board of Directors' opinion on the best courses of action for the Company: Option 1 included two share capital increases with a subsequent additional listing of the Company's shares on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX); Option 2 included a merger of the Company into a new Swiss subsidiary, resulting in an automatic delisting from the Vienna Stock Exchange, and potentially followed by a wind down / liquidation of the business.
The Company invited shareholders to share their views with the Company's Board of Directors by June 12, 2025, on the two above-mentioned options and any other alternative option they would see.
Further to a detailed assessment of the current circumstances (including the prevailing market conditions) and in light of the shareholders' feedback to the above-mentioned press release, the Board of Directors has determined that the implementation of Option 2 represents the most prudent course of action to safeguard shareholder interests, reduce ongoing costs, and preserve value.
For that purpose, the Company incorporated SunMirror A AG, a corporation in formation pursuant to articles 620 et seq. CO, with registered office in Zug, The Company expects SunMirror A AG to be registered with the commercial registry of the canton of Zug in the coming days. The share capital of SunMirror A AG amounts to CHF 119,787.75 and is divided into 2,395,755 fully paid registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.05 each, i.e. the same number of shares as the number of bearer shares issued by the Company. All shares in SunMirror A AG are currently held by the Company. The shares in SunMirror A AG are not and will not be listed on any stock exchange.
Under the Merger Agreement, the Company, as the transferring company, and SunMirror A AG, as the receiving company, have agreed to merge in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Federal Act on Merger, Demerger, Transformation and Transfer of Assets of October 3, 2003 (as amended, the Merger Act). If approved by shareholders, upon effectiveness of the merger, the Company will be merged into SunMirror A AG, dissolved without liquidation and deleted from the commercial register. As a result of the merger, the shareholders in the Company will become shareholders in SunMirror A AG and will receive one (1) (non-listed) registered share of SunMirror A AG with a nominal value of CHF 0.05 for each (listed) bearer share of the Company with a nominal value of CHF 1 held as of the record date, as will be communicated by the Board of Directors later in the process. The economic ownership of the Company's business will not change as a result of the merger. To facilitate the share exchange at the time of the consummation of the merger, the Board of Directors will ask the Vienna Stock Exchange to suspend trading of the Company's shares after the record date. Further details on the share conversion, including the exchange ratio and any applicable conditions, are included in the Merger Agreement and the merger report.
Upon completion of the merger, the bearer shares of the Company will automatically be delisted from the Vienna Stock Exchange as admission to trading on the official Market (Amtlicher Handel) of the Vienna Stock Exchange will not transfer to SunMirror A AG. As a result, shareholders will hold shares in the newly merged Swiss entity, SunMirror A AG, which will not be listed on any stock exchange. Prior to the completion of the merger, SunMirror A AG's company name will be changed to a name yet to be determined, whereby the updated company name will then remain in full effect after completion of the merger. Also, the Board of Directors may appoint one or several new directors of SunMirror A AG prior to or upon consummation of the merger.
The Merger Agreement, including the merger balance sheet, the merger report, the audit report, the other documents pursuant to article 16 of the Merger Act, as well as the current articles of association of SunMirror A AG, are available for inspection by shareholders at the registered office of the Company during regular business hours, and can also be accessed at https://sunmirror.com/investor-relations/general-meeting/ and https://sunmirror.com/investor-relations/financial-statements/.
In accordance with article 12 para. 2 of the Merger Act, the Merger Agreement requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the share votes represented at the General Meeting and the absolute majority of the nominal value of shares represented at the General Meeting. The same majority is required for the delisting of the Company's shares that will result from the merger.
