Valartis Group postpones 2015 results media conference and Ordinary General Meeting

Valartis Group AG / Valartis Group postpones 2015 results media conference and Ordinary General Meeting . Processed and transmitted by NASDAQ OMX Corporate Solutions. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

During the course of divestment of Valartis Bank AG, Switzerland in 2014, Valartis Group fundamentally realigned its Group structure and restructured the relevant operating activities of Private Banking, Wealth Management, and Private Equity into Valartis Finance Holding AG, which was newly incorporated in Summer 2014 in Liechtenstein. Valartis Finance Holding AG is subject to a consolidated banking supervision by the Financial Market Authority in Liechtenstein (FMA). Integration of the new Valartis Group AG structure into the 2014 year-end reporting with now two consolidated reports according to IFRS for the first time and all auditing activities will require longer than was planned and, as a result, publication of results will also be delayed.

The Board of Directors of Valartis Group AG has decided to postpone the 2015 results media conference and the Ordinary General Meeting due to the fact that initial, additional consolidated reporting on the new Valartis Finance Holding AG, due to delays in reporting on some group companies as well as qualification of Group-internal financing structures under the more stringent new equity capital regulations are taking significantly longer than was planned. The results media conference will take place on 28 April 2015 and the Ordinary General Meeting on 2 June 2015.

Valartis Group will now publish its 2014 Annual Report on 28 April 2015.
