On March 21, 2013, the convertible bonds will be redeemed at the total principal amount plus interest accrued as far as bondholders do not exercise their conversion rights by the end of March 12, 2013. An appropriate notice of redemption is expected to be published on February 8, 2013, in Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
Given the current share price for Clariant registered shares, the Company expects bondholders to largely or completely exercise their conversion rights. In case all holders of the convertible bond make use of their conversion rights, up to 36'186'971 registered shares based on the conditional capital of the Company will be issued against the conversion. The new Clariant registered shares will be entitled to dividends for the financial year 2012.
