The fund management company will carry out a capital increase of up to CHF 125.6 million for the HSL Fund from April 11 to April 22, 2022, 12.00 noon CEST. Each existing share will be allocated one (1) subscription right. Five (5) subscription rights entitle to the subscription of two (2) new shares against payment of the issue price in Swiss francs. A maximum of 1,096,924 new shares will be issued. The number of shares outstanding will thus increase from 2,742,310 to a maximum of 3,839,234 units. The issue price is CHF 114.54 net per new share and was determined in accordance with the fund contract (§ 17 item 3). The exact number of new shares to be issued will be determined after the subscription period, based on the subscriptions received.

For the funds from the capital increase, twelve properties in good locations with over 400 apartments worth CHF 142 million are secured.
