The Articles of Association do not entail any rule governing opting-up or opting-out as per the Financial Market Infrastructure Act (FMIA).
No contractual clauses governing changes in control exist in the employment contracts with members of either the Board or the Executive Group Management.

According to the HUBER+SUHNER AG Compensation Policy, the Board may prematurely revoke existing blocking periods only under special circumstances, such as a change of control, and if requested by the Nomination and Compensation Committee.
