WHY SHOULD I VOTE?

The Annual General Meeting is shareholders’ opportunity to voice their opinion and vote on issues of key importance to the running of the company. Shareholders are encouraged to exercise their right to vote. This contributes to the good governance of the company and safeguards your investment from the possible activism of organized groups of minority shareholders who seek to exploit low polls.

WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE CLARIANT MEETING?

All shareholders registered in the Clariant Ltd share register with voting rights up to and including 3 April 2024, are entitled to vote. The register will be closed from 4 April – 9 April 2024, for entries and cancellations. However, those shareholders voting through a bank or custodian are advised to contact those institutions as their deadlines for receiving vote instructions will vary.

TRADING SHARES DURING THE AGM MEETING PERIOD

Shareholders are free to buy and sell shares throughout the AGM period and Clariant does not block shares: Any changes in holdings for already registered entries will be automatically adapted and investors are entitled to vote the position as of 3 April 2024. Any party buying shares after the register has closed will not be able to register them until the register opens again after the meeting, hence they will not be able to vote.

HOW DO I ATTEND THE MEETING?

Admission cards and voting material can be ordered from Clariant Ltd, Share Register, c/o sharecomm ag, Europa-Strasse 29, CH-8152 Glattbrugg, Switzerland, using the enclosed reply form.

WHAT IS THE CLARIANT ISIN/ SEDOL NUMBER?

The ISIN number is CH 0012142631 and the SEDOL is 7113990.

MY SHARES ARE HELD BY A BANK/ BROKERAGE. HOW DO I VOTE BY PROXY?

Banks and brokerages often set their deadlines for receiving voting instructions a number of days before the voting deadline imposed by the company. This is as to allow the custodians time to gather the instructions before sending them on to the tabulator. However, deadlines will vary from institution to institution and shareholders whose shares are held by institutions outside of Switzerland are advised that the deadlines will be set earlier. Please check with your bank / broker as to their specific deadline.
