The Revised M, together with all relevant documentation, will be filed with the Malta Business Registry in the coming days, and the Conversion is expected to take place shortly after.

Shareholders are reminded that the resolution regarding the Company’s redomiciliation from Malta to Switzerland was withdrawn from the agenda of the August EGM by means of a board resolution dated 14 August 2024. Accordingly, this resolution was not considered at the August EGM.

Shareholders are further reminded that a fresh proposal regarding the redomiciliation of the Company from Malta to Switzerland is being proposed at another extraordinary general meeting of the Company to be held on 5 September 2024 (the “September EGM”). The notice and other relevant documentation in respect of the September EGM were published on 14 August 2024 and can be accessed on the Company’s website (https://www.multitude.com/investors/shareholder-information/agm/2024-egm-3). For the avoidance of doubt, votes cast in respect of the August EGM will not be valid for the September EGM. Accordingly, any shareholders wishing to vote at the September EGM will be required to submit fresh voting instructions. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to contact their respective custodian/nominee as soon as possible.
