annual report

16.04.2012

- Net asset value per share CHF 177.45, +9.8% year-on-year on
dividend adjusted basis.

- Further progress with realization strategy: in 2011 CHF 33 million
returned to shareholders through cash distributions and share
buybacks.

- Cancellation of repurchased treasury shares and new share buyback
program to be approved at 2012 annual general meeting.

2011 marked the second full year for shaPE under the realization
regime. Throughout the year several milestones were reached,
including a return of CHF 33 million to shareholders through share
buybacks and a cash distribution paid out of the company´s general
legal reserves from capital contributions. Accounting for the CHF 25
cash dividend per share paid out in May 2011 the NAV per share
increased by 9.8% over the year.

In line with the continuation of the realization strategy the board
of directors proposes the cancellation of the repurchased treasury
shares as well as the adoption of a new share buyback program with a
maximum buyback limit of 20% of share capital at the annual general
meeting on 10 May 2012. According to the capital contribution
principle effective as of 1 January 2011 share buybacks are generally
exempt from Swiss withholding tax as long as reserves for treasury
shares are built at the expense of the legal reserves from capital
contributions. As shaPE has started in April 2011 to build the
respective reserves no withholding tax is deducted anymore on sales
of shares over the second trading line, thereby facilitating sales
over the second trading line for private individuals.
