SWX Swiss Exchange - Habsburg Holdings Ltd. - No Suspension Of Trading; No Delisting

Date 31/10/2002

On 1 October 2002, the SWX Swiss Exchange announced that Habsburg Holdings Ltd. had been sanctioned by issuance of a CHF 15,000.-- fine and the threat of having its shares suspended from trading or, under circumstances, delisted as a result of the company's repeated non-compliance with the duty to submit in a timely manner documentation pertaining to its annual general meeting of shareholders, as well as its failure to pay listing fees for 2000 and 2001.

The company has subsequently paid within the established grace period the aforementioned listing fees and fine, as well as the related procedural costs, so that the threatened suspension of trading or delisting of its shares can now be disregarded. Consequently, this proceeding against Habsburg Holdings Ltd. has been concluded.
