Achiko AG – Suspension of Trading
Zurich, 28 J u ne 2022: Ad hoc an n o u ncement pu r su a nt to Art. 53 LR – Achiko AG (SIX: ACHI; OTCQB:
ACHKF; ISIN CH0522213468) (“Achiko”, the “Company”) announces that it has received notification from SIX Exchange Regulation AG {“SER”) that the trading of Achiko’s shares shall be suspended as of Tuesday, 28 June 2022.
On 27 June 2022, SER has performed an initial review of Achiko’s annual financial statements published on 26 June 2022 and determined that they do not comply with Art.49 and Art 51 of the Listing Rules1 (“LR”) requiring the Issuer to publish an annual financial report, comprising the audited annual financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting standard, as well as the corresponding audit report. SER noted that the audit report included in the annual report 2021 of Achiko issues an Adverse Opinion and, based on the auditor’s conclusion, there is strong indication that the Issuer has breached Art. 49 and 51 LR, one of the most important conditions for maintaining a listing. Therefore, SER advised that the trading of Achiko’s shares shall be suspended based on Art.57 LR as of Tuesday, 28 June 2022, until the orderly conditions are restored. Furthermore, SER has given Achiko AG a deadline until 31 July 2022 to publish audited financial statements in accordance with Art 49 and 51 LR.
As noted in the Company’s adhoc announcement of 26 June 2022, Achiko is looking forward to immediately completing a capital increase. The Company is working with its auditors, lawyers and a number of investors and financiers to resolve the situation as soon as possible and expects to be able to comply with SER’s requirement in advance of the 31 July deadline.
The Company has commenced production to supply Nahdlatul Ulama in Indonesia with its affordable, non-invasive Covid-19 saliva-based rapid test AptameX ™ and this week has started supplying tests to 600 schools in Indonesia. The Company is also producing samples for prospective customers in other Asian countries, the UK, Europe and The Middle East.
