*Luzern, 22. Dezember 2020* - Wie bereits bekanntgegeben, haben die 
Aktionärinnen und Aktionäre der Swiss Steel Holding AG an der heutigen 
Generalversammlung dem Antrag des Verwaltungsrates mit 66,85 % der 
vertretenen Stimmen zugestimmt, das Aktienkapital von aktuell CHF 
304'249'999,95 um CHF 154'578'620,70 auf CHF 458'828'620,65 durch die 
Ausgabe von 1'030'524'138 neuen Namenaktien mit einem Nennwert von je CHF 
0,15 zu erhöhen. Die Kapitalerhöhung soll in der zweiten Januarhälfte 2021 
vollzogen werden. 
 
Im Nachgang zur heutigen Generalversammlung wurde Swiss Steel Holding 
darüber informiert, dass Liwet Holding AG beim Handelsregisteramt des 
Kantons Luzern eine Sperre für die Eintragung der Kapitalerhöhung erwirkt 
hat. Die Handelsregistersperre wird auf einseitigen Antrag gewährt. Der 
Antrag muss nicht begründet sein und es findet keine materielle Prüfung 
durch das Handelsregister statt. Für die Liwet Holding AG läuft nun eine 
Frist von 10 Tagen, um beim zuständigen Gericht eine begründete vorsorgliche 
Massnahme zu beantragen. Das Vorgehen der Liwet Holding AG entbehrt jeder 
Grundlage und widerspricht den Interessen der Swiss Steel Holding AG und 
ihrer weiteren Aktionäre und Mitarbeitenden. Swiss Steel Holding AG hält an 
der Kapitalerhöhung fest und wird sich mit allen Mitteln gegen das 
verantwortungslose Vorgehen der Liwet Holding AG und ihrer Vertreter zur 
Wehr setzen. 
 
Weitere Informationen zur ordentlichen Kapitalerhöhung mittels 
Bezugsrechtsangebot finden sich in der Pressemitteilung vom 22. Dezember 
2020 im Vorfeld der ausserordentlichen Generalversammlung.
