PRESS RELEASE | LEONTEQ UPDATE AHEAD OF ITS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Zurich, 1 April 2026 | Ad-hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

Leonteq AG provides an update ahead of today’s Annual General Meeting 2026.

The Board of Directors of Leonteq AG has decided to withdraw the proposal to grant discharge to the members of the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee for the financial years 2024 and 2025.

As previously communicated, Leonteq addressed all remaining supervisory requirements that were ordered by FINMA as part of the proceedings concluded in December 2024. The review of these measures was completed by a FINMA-appointed audit mandatory in the second half of 2025, and only a few points remained that had to be amended or integrated into the company’s processes by the end of 2025. The final review of these points started in the first quarter of 2026 and is expected to complete in due course.

In this context, a Swiss proxy advisor recommended to vote against the Board’s proposal because it viewed it to be premature to grant the discharge at this stage.

The Board of Directors intends to re-table this proposal at a future general meeting.
