Principles / Dates
SIG pursues an open, active and transparent information policy with all parties involved.
Each year, it publishes an Annual Report and a Half-Year Report. In certain cases, such as
acquisitions and divestments, shareholders are informed separately about the details by
means of Shareholder Letters.
At least twice a year, there are dedicated press conferences for the media and financial
analysts in connection with presenting the annual and half-year financial statements.
The following important dates have been set for 2004:
Presentation annual financial statements 2003 3/8/2004
Ordinary General Meeting 3/30/2004
Payment of dividend 4 /5/2004
Presentation half-year financial statements 2004 8 /24 /2004

sections “Investor Relations” and “Media Info” providing all relevant data for shareholders.
All SIG press releases can be obtained by registering under “Media Info.”
Disclosure regulations / Prevention of insider dealings
Price-sensitive facts are published by SIG in accordance with the regulations of the Swiss
Stock Exchange on ad hoc publicity. For this purpose, detailed internal guidelines have
been issued. Parallel to this measure, a share dealing code has been brought into force,
which sets out appropriate directives aimed at preventing insider dealings. An internal
Clearing Office is tasked with implementing and monitoring adherence to these two
guidelines.
