At the Valartis Group AG Extraordinary General Meeting on 15 January 2016, at St. Annagasse 18, 8001 Zurich, the 9 participants, together with shareholders represented by the independent proxy, endorsed the motions proposed by the Board of Directors: "Replacement elections to the Board of Directors" and "Elections to the Compensation Committee". Out of the total of 5,000,000 bearer shares at a par value of CHF 1.00, 2'601'726, or 52.03 percent of capital and votes were represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Replacement election to the Board of Directors
Due to the fact that two of the members of the Board of Directors have withdrawn prior to expiration of their period of office (Urs Maurer-Lambrou as of 15 June 2015 and Jean-François Ducrest as of 2 November 2015), the number of members of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee has fallen below the minimum statutory membership of three. Shareholders voted with a large majority in favour of Stephan Häberle as member of the Board of Directors up to the first Ordinary Ge­neral Meeting in 2016. On 23 Novem­ber 2015, the Cantonal Court of Zug approved a six-month definitive moratorium for Valartis Group AG. Mr. Häberle will assume dual responsibilities as member of the Board of Directors and as Group CEO up to the date of the first Ordinary General Meeting in 2016 following a successful recovery.

Elections to the Compensation Committee
The Extraordinary General Meeting voted with a large majority in favour of Messrs. Christoph N. Meister, Gustav Stenbolt and Stephan Häberle as members of the Compensation Committee, each for a period up to conclusion of the next Ordinary General Meeting.
