WISeKey to Reverse Split its ADS on June 22, 2022

Geneva, Switzerland, June 15, 2022 – Ad-Hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 of SIX Listing Rules– WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKEY / SIX: WIHN) (“WISeKey” or the “Company” or the “Group”), a leading cybersecurity and IoT company, announced today a 1-for-2 reverse split of American Depository Shares (“ADS”) listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker “WKEY.”

Under the current ratio, 1 ADS represents 5 Class B common shares listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange which means that, post-split 1 ADS will represent 10 Class B common shares.

The number of shares owned by ADS holders will be adjusted after the closing bell on Wednesday, June 22, 2022.

There will be no change to the total number of the Company’s Class B common shares. The ADS holders of record on the effective date of the reverse split will not be required to take any action in connection with the ADS ratio change. The exchange of every two (2) then-held ADSs for one (1) new ADS will occur automatically with the then-held ADSs being canceled and new ADSs being issued by the depositary bank, in each case as of the effective date for the ADS ratio change. WISeKey’s ADSs will continue to trade on the NASDAQ under the symbol “WKEY”.

No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS ratio. Instead, the fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank.

As a result of the change in the ADS ratio, the ADS price is expected to increase proportionally, but the Company can give no assurance that the ADS price after the change in the ADS ratio will be equal to or greater than 2 times the ADS price before the change.
