Postponement of the Publication of the Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements

Ad hoc announcement pursuant to art. 53 LR
Basel (Switzerland), June 30, 2022 Youngtimers AG, a Basel-based investment Company listed in Switzerland (YTME: SIX) announces that it will postpone the publication of the Annual Report and the consolidated financial statements to July 31, 2022. The reason for the recent postponement of the publication date is the potential need of impairments on investments that have arisen as a result of current developments on the financial markets and that consequently the consolidated financial statements and the audit work have not yet been completed to date. Therefore, the Annual General Meeting must also be postponed to the end of August 2022.
The Company has therefore applied for an additional extension to publish the 2021 Annual Report no later than July 31, 2022. On June 29, 2022, SIX Exchange Regulation AG has granted an extension and inter alia decided as follows [in German]:
I. Die Ausnahme von Aufrechterhaltungspflichten und damit der Aufschub der Publikation des Geschäftsberichts 2021 sowie die Einreichung dieses Berichts bei SIX Exchange Regulation AG bis spätestens Sonntag, 31. Juli 2022 wird unter folgendem Vorbehalt (lit. a) und unter folgenden Bedingungen (lit. b) genehmigt:
a. SIX Exchange Regulation AG behält sich vor, allenfalls den Handel mit Effekten von Youngtimers vorübergehend einzustellen, wenn diese ihren Geschäftsbericht 2021 nicht bis spätestens Sonntag, 31. Juli 2022, 23.59 Uhr nach den Vorschriften zur Ad hoc-Publizität (Art. 53 Kotierungsreglement i.V.m. Richtlinie betr. Ad hoc-Publizität) veröffentlicht und bei SIX Exchange Regulation AG einreicht.
b. Die Youngtimers hat betreffend den vorliegenden Entscheid bis spätestens Donnerstag, 30. Juni 2022, 23.59 Uhr, eine Medienmitteilung gemäss den Vorschriften zur Ad hoc-Publizität (Art. 53 Kotierungsreglement i.V.m. Richtlinie betr. Ad hoc Publizität) zu veröffentlichen. Diese Medienmitteilung hat: − den vollständigen Wortlaut von Ziff. I des vorliegenden Entscheides an prominenter Stelle zu enthalten; − die Gründe für die Verschiebung der Publikation und Einreichung des Geschäftsberichts 2021 zu erwähnen.
