Zurich, 24 July 2026 – In the context of the acquisition of the substantial part of Santander’s Swiss auto financing business, Cembra Money Bank AG (“Cembra” or the “Issuer”) announces that it has successfully sold 601,801 treasury shares by way of an accelerated bookbuilding process (the “Transaction”). The Transaction enables Cembra to partly finance the acquisition price of the substantial part of Santander’s Swiss auto financing business, as announced by Cembra on 23 July 2026.

Cembra placed 601,801 treasury shares, corresponding to c. 2.0% of its share capital at a price of CHF 86.80 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately CHF 52 million.
