Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR



Basel, 2 March 2026

Helvetia Asset Management Ltd will carry out a capital increase («best effort») of around CHF 128 million for the Helvetia (CH) Swiss Property Fund. The proceeds of the issue will be used to acquire a real estate portfolio of Helvetia Swiss Life Insurance Company Ltd with a market value of around CHF 108 million and for the selective acquisition of further properties.

On 17 February 2026, Helvetia Asset Management Ltd announced that it was examining the acquisition of a property portfolio from the holdings of Helvetia Swiss Life Insurance Company Ltd with a market value of around CHF 108 million for Helvetia (CH) Swiss Property Fund. The fund management company plans to issue new units amounting to a maximum of around CHF 128 million to finance the acquisition of a real estate portfolio of four properties held by Helvetia Swiss Life Insurance Company Ltd and the selective acquisition of further properties.

On 28 January 2026, FINMA granted the fund management company an exemption from the prohibition on transactions with related parties pursuant to Art. 63 para. 2 and 4 CISA in conjunction with Art. 32a CISO for the transfer of the four abovementioned properties owned by Helvetia Swiss Life Insurance Company Ltd.

The portfolio earmarked for acquisition consists of three residential properties and one commercial property with a core/core-plus profile across three cantons and is characterised by the high quality of the properties and locations that are aligned with the existing portfolio of the Helvetia (CH) Swiss Property Fund, with corresponding income and value stability.

Issue conditions
The new units will be issued on a commission basis (“best effort”) as part of a public subscription offer in Switzerland. A maximum of 1,218,750 new units will be issued, which corresponds to a subscription ratio of 8:1. Accordingly, eight (8) subscription rights entitle the holder to subscribe to one (1) new fund unit. The issue price of CHF 105.00 is based on the net asset value as at 30 September 2025, plus the purchase in the current income and the applicable issuing commission of 1.5%. The number of units in circulation will increase from 9,750,000 to a maximum of 10,968,750. Units that are not subscribed may not be issued, which would reduce the issue amount. Following the expiry of the subscription period, the fund management company reserves the right to place any unsubscribed units on the market together with the custodian bank or third parties with the necessary care.

Subscription rights trading will take place on SIX Swiss Exchange Ltd from 9 to 17 March 2026, and the subscription period will run from 9 to 19 March 2026, 12 noon (CET). The new units will be paid up on 27 March 2026.
