SAF-HOLLAND: Introduction of an additional threshold for voting rights notifications (3 per cent)
 

Luxembourg, 10 July 2019. In an effort to harmonise with the corresponding provisions of the German Securities Trading Act (Section 33 [1] WpHG), the Extraordinary General Meeting of SAF-HOLLAND S.A. ("Company") decided on 25 April 2019, by way of an amendment to Article 18 (1) sentence 1 of the Company's Articles of Association, that Company shareholders who reach, exceed or fall below the voting rights' threshold of 3 per cent are required to promptly file a voting rights notification with the Company. The statutory reporting obligations pursuant to Article 8 et seq. of the Transparency Act of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Law of 11 January 2008 on transparency requirements for issuers), as amended, continue to apply.
 

Shareholders who currently hold between 3 per cent and 5 per cent of the Company's voting rights and have not reported this fact to the Company to date are also requested to notify the Company promptly.
 

The extent to which affected shareholders need to inform other persons (such as regulators) should be examined by the shareholders themselves.
 

The Company's current Articles of Association are available on the SAF-HOLLAND Group homepage at

Dr. Matthias Heiden, Chief Financial Officer of SAF-HOLLAND, comments: "The introduction of the additional threshold of 3 per cent for voting rights notifications to our Company increases capital market transparency and supports investors in making their investment decisions."
