Highlight Communications AG Addresses Misleading Letters from German Banks

Highlight Communications AG (HLG; WKN 920 299) issued a statement on misleading and false letters circulated by certain German custodian banks. These letters suggested that bearer shares were no longer permitted in Switzerland and prompted shareholders to consider legal action.

Highlight Communications AG clarified that there are no restrictions on bearer shares listed on a stock exchange under Swiss law. The company emphasized that shareholders do not need to take any action regarding their holdings of bearer shares. The letters contained false information about the legal situation in Switzerland.

Highlight Communications AG has reported these incidents to the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin). The company reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining transparency and accurate information for its shareholders.
