Luzern, 22. Dezember 2020 - Wie bereits bekanntgegeben, haben die
Aktionärinnen und Aktionäre der Swiss Steel Holding AG an der heutigen
Generalversammlung dem Antrag des Verwaltungsrates mit 66,85 % der
vertretenen Stimmen zugestimmt, das Aktienkapital von aktuell CHF
304'249'999,95 um CHF 154'578'620,70 auf CHF 458'828'620,65 durch die
Ausgabe von 1'030'524'138 neuen Namenaktien mit einem Nennwert von je CHF
0,15 zu erhöhen. Die Kapitalerhöhung soll in der zweiten Januarhälfte 2021
vollzogen werden.

Im Nachgang zur heutigen Generalversammlung wurde Swiss Steel Holding
darüber informiert, dass Liwet Holding AG beim Handelsregisteramt des
Kantons Luzern eine Sperre für die Eintragung der Kapitalerhöhung erwirkt
hat. Die Handelsregistersperre wird auf einseitigen Antrag gewährt. Der
Antrag muss nicht begründet sein und es findet keine materielle Prüfung
durch das Handelsregister statt. Für die Liwet Holding AG läuft nun eine
Frist von 10 Tagen, um beim zuständigen Gericht eine begründete vorsorgliche
Massnahme zu beantragen. Das Vorgehen der Liwet Holding AG entbehrt jeder
Grundlage und widerspricht den Interessen der Swiss Steel Holding AG und
ihrer weiteren Aktionäre und Mitarbeitenden. Swiss Steel Holding AG hält an
der Kapitalerhöhung fest und wird sich mit allen Mitteln gegen das
verantwortungslose Vorgehen der Liwet Holding AG und ihrer Vertreter zur
Wehr setzen.

Weitere Informationen zur ordentlichen Kapitalerhöhung mittels
Bezugsrechtsangebot finden sich in der Pressemitteilung vom 22. Dezember
2020 im Vorfeld der ausserordentlichen Generalversammlung.
