Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

Zurich, May 18, 2026 – The fund management company of the Helvetica Swiss Living Fund (HSL Fund) is reviewing a capital increase of approximately CHF 40 – 50 million in the second quarter of 2026.

The additional capital is intended to be used for the further expansion of the portfolio and for investments in the existing portfolio.

The fund management company has already identified and exclusively secured several attractive residential properties outside competitive bidding processes. The investment volume of these properties amounts to approximately CHF 50 million. The properties are located in Eastern Switzerland and in the canton of Aargau and show net yields above the average of the current existing portfolio.

In addition, the Helvetica Swiss Living Fund has identified a further pipeline of properties that align with the HSL Fund’s suburban residential strategy and whose acquisition is currently being reviewed. The planned investments are intended to further strengthen the fund’s earning power, portfolio quality and diversification.

A portion of the capital is also intended to be invested in a comprehensive renovation of existing properties that has already been launched. Once implemented, a sustainable improvement in earning power and a corresponding increase in value are expected.

Existing and new investors have already signaled interest in the potential capital increase. The fund management company will provide further details in due course.
