Results of the Extraordinary General Meeting of New Value AG Baar, 24 November 2021 An extraordinary general meeting of New Value AG was held today. All motions of the Board of Directors were approved by the general meeting with a large majority. The following resolutions were adopted by the shareholders: The change of the name of the company from New Value AG to Talenthouse AG, and the change of the company's corporate purpose from an investment to an operating company, subject to approval of the listing application and prospectus by SIX Exchange Regulation AG. The increase of the number of shares of the company and creation of a single class of shares by splitting the existing registered shares with restricted transferability and a par value of CHF 1 in a ratio of 1:10, so that all shares will have the same par value of CHF 0.10, subject to approval of the listing application and prospectus by SIX Exchange Regulation AG. The stock split is expected to result in the listing of all shares of the company on SIX Swiss Exchange in the International Reporting Standard (previously Investment Company Standard).
