share buyback program

29.10.2012

At the Annual General Meeting on 10 May 2012, the board of directors
of shaPE was authorised to launch a new share buyback program and it
now has decided to buy back up to 107'996 own shares (18.62% of the
share capital registered in the commercial register). The actual
number of the shares bought back is at the discretion of the board of
directors depending, inter alia, on the liquidity available within
shaPE, the number of own shares already held by the company and
prevailing market conditions. The share buyback will be managed by
Zürcher Kantonalbank and carried out via a second trading line on the
SIX Swiss Exchange. The second trading is expected to commence on 16
November 2012 and will last until 30 October 2015 at the latest.
shaPE explicitly reserves the right to end the program at any time
and has no obligation to buy back any own shares via the second
trading line.

At any subsequent annual general meetings the board of directors will
apply for a cancellation and a capital reduction of the number of
shares repurchased.

The current program started on 1 July 2012 will be early terminated
as of 15 November 2012 (last trading day).
