Further to the press release issued on 10 July 2015 with respect to the timetable of completion of the cross-border merger by absorption of the Greek company Sidenor Holdings (Sidenor) by Viohalco SA (Viohalco or the Company) and as a result of the delay experienced by the Company in obtaining from the Greek authorities the required pre-merger certificate attesting the legality of the relevant pre-merger acts and formalities under Greek law, Viohalco announces that the timetable of events previously communicated has to be amended.

As a result of such delay, completion of the merger and delivery of the new shares issued by Viohalco as a result of the merger will be postponed.
