Since 1 January 2016, the provisions regarding the disclosure of significant shareholders are regulated in the Financial Market Infrastructure Law and in the Financial Market Infrastructure Ordinance and also apply to LLB.

Shareholders falling below or exceeding the threshold percentages of 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 33.33, 50, or 66.67 of voting rights are obliged to notify SIX and LLB (www.llb.li/thresholds).

Liechtensteinische Landesbank’s statutes contain no regulations comparable with the Swiss provisions regarding opting out or opting up.
