   Distribution ratio

   Reference share price

   The reference share price corresponds to the average of the closing 
prices of the bearer shares on SIX Swiss Exchange for the 20 trading 
days preceding the date of the Annual General Meeting (i.e. from 20 
April to 18 May 2021), less the gross amount of the cash dividend of CHF

   Fractions of bearer shares will be settled in cash based on the 
reference share price. Rounding up of fractions is not possible.

   Payment date

   Procedure for shareholders 
 
   For custody account holders: Shareholders do not need to take any 
action. The custodian bank automatically handles the payment of the 
dividend (cash dividend and stock dividend). 
 
   For holders of share certificates: Shareholders keeping their bearer 
shares at home are asked to submit their coupons no. 26 to their bank to 
claim the cash dividend. In order to receive the stock dividend, such 
shareholders were asked to deposit their bearer shares in a custody 
account before the Annual General Meeting. If they failed to do so, the 
will receive a cash payment corresponding to one seventy-fifth of the 
reference share price for each coupon no. 26 submitted to their bank. 
 
   Taxes 
 
   The cash dividend (taxable gross amount of CHF 5.00 per bearer share) is 
subject to income tax for shareholders domiciled in Switzerland and 
subject to the federal withholding tax of 35 %. CFT will transfer the 
withholding tax on the cash dividend to the Federal Tax Administration. 
 
   The stock dividend (including fractions paid in cash), taxable gross 
amount of CHF 1.53 per bearer share (reference share price divided by 
75) is not subject to the Swiss turnover tax and the federal withholding 
tax. 
 
   The stock dividend is not subject to income tax for shareholders 
domiciled in Switzerland who hold the bearer shares as private assets. 
The stock dividend is subject to income tax for shareholders domiciled 
in Switzerland who hold the bearer shares as business assets. 
 
   Shareholders domiciled outside Switzerland will be taxed according to 
the applicable laws of their respective country and may reclaim the 
federal withholding tax in accordance with any applicable double 
taxation agreements.
