(1) | Represents costs incurred in connection with restructuring initiatives, including legal, advisory and employee-related costs, as well as advisory costs related to other strategic activities. |
• | Market awareness and acceptance of our products are critical to our commercial success. |
• | Our operating results depend on the performance of third-party distributors, in particular Henry Schein, and sales to key customers, including Heartland Dental, LLC (“Heartland”). |
• | Expanding our sales and marketing capabilities is essential to growing revenue. |
• | We rely on third-party manufacturers and suppliers for the supply, manufacture and protection of our products. |
• | The market opportunities for our products may be smaller than we estimate. |
• | We are dependent on our senior management team and other key personnel. |
• | Our industry is subject to rapid technological and scientific change and intense competition, which could render our products obsolete. |
• | Our products are subject to extensive regulatory requirements across the jurisdictions where they are marketed. |
• | Regulatory authorities may disagree with the regulatory classification of our products, which could require us to pursue different regulatory pathways. |
• | Our products may be subject to product recalls in the future. |
• | Our operations are subject to healthcare fraud and abuse, reimbursement, payment transparency and similar healthcare laws and regulations. |
• | If our marketing, labeling or promotional claims are found to be false, misleading, insufficiently substantiated, off-label or inconsistent with applicable regulatory requirements, we could be subject to enforcement action and reputational harm. |
• | Our employees, distributors, agents, contractors, collaborators and other third parties acting on our behalf may engage in misconduct or other improper activities. |
• | If we are unable to obtain, maintain, defend or enforce adequate intellectual property protection, competitors may develop and commercialize products or technologies similar to ours. |
• | We may in the future be involved in lawsuits to defend or enforce our patents and proprietary rights. |
• | We may in the future be subject to claims against us alleging that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of third parties, the outcome of which would be uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on our business. |
• | If our trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, we may not be able to build name recognition. |
• | Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats. |
• | Our uses of artificial intelligence, machine learning technologies and AI-enabled clinical workflows pose operational, regulatory, legal and reputational risks. |
• | We have incurred net losses since our inception and expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future. We may never achieve or sustain profitability. |
• | We may need to raise additional capital in the future. |
• | We have substantial indebtedness and may incur additional indebtedness in the future, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and ability to operate our business. |
• | We may be required to recognize impairment charges for our goodwill and other intangible assets. |
• | We may not be able to utilize our loss carryforwards, deferred interest deductions and other tax attributes. |
• | We could be subject to additional tax liabilities due to changes in tax laws, tax audits or our growth, which could affect our profitability and increase our effective tax rate. |
• | The dual class structure of our shares and the existing ownership of Class B voting rights shares by our Founders have the effect of concentrating voting control with our Founders for the foreseeable future, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters. |
• | Our dual class structure may depress the trading price of our Class A ordinary shares. |
• | Our Co-Founders and Co-CEOs have incurred, and we expect will continue to incur, substantial indebtedness for which a substantial number of shares of our Company are pledged as collateral. |
• | As a foreign private issuer and “controlled company” within the meaning of the NYSE corporate governance rules, we are permitted to, and we will, rely on exemptions from certain of the NYSE corporate governance standards, including the requirement that a majority of our board of directors consist of independent directors. Our reliance on such exemptions may afford less protection to holders of our Class A ordinary shares. |
• | We are an “emerging growth company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our Class A ordinary shares less attractive to investors. |
• | We are a Swiss corporation. The rights of our shareholders may be different from the rights of shareholders in companies governed by the laws of U.S. jurisdictions. |
• | U.S. shareholders may not be able to obtain judgments or enforce civil liabilities against us or our executive officers or our board of directors. |
• | a requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and related financial disclosure; |

• | the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events. |
• | the requirement to obtain shareholder approval for certain issuances of securities, including shareholder approval of equity compensation or purchase plans or other equity compensation arrangements. We will follow Swiss law with respect to any requirement to obtain shareholder approval in connection with such issuances; |
• | the requirement that there be regularly scheduled meetings of only the independent directors. There is no similar requirement under Swiss law. As a result, our independent directors may choose to meet in executive session at their discretion; |
• | the requirement to disclose within four business days any determination to grant a waiver of the Code of Conduct (as defined herein) to directors and officers. While we intend to disclose any amendments to our Code of Conduct, or waivers of its requirements, on our website or in public filings under the Exchange Act, Swiss law does not prescribe a specific timeline for such disclosure; and |
• | the quorum requirements applicable to meetings of shareholders. Swiss law does not require such quorum requirements. |
• | Class A ordinary shares to be issued upon the vesting of RSUs in connection with the completion of this offering that were granted to certain of our officers, directors and employees under our existing equity incentive plans, as more fully described under “Management—Equity Incentive Plans”; and |

• | our ability to increase awareness and understanding of our products and our Curodont® technology platform among dentists, hygienists, DSOs, patients, payors and other stakeholders; |
• | whether there is adequate utilization of our products based on their effectiveness and perceived advantages over those of our competitors as well as alternative traditional treatments, including fluoride varnish, dental sealants and conventional invasive procedures, which are deeply entrenched, widely reimbursed and often perceived by practitioners and payors as sufficient standards of care; |
• | the performance, tolerability and ease of use of our products relative to those currently on the market; |
• | our ability to develop, commercialize and obtain and maintain regulatory clearance or approval for current and future products; |
• | the clinical effectiveness of our products, including the quality and robustness of clinical evidence supporting their use; |
• | the prices at which we and our distributors offer our products; |
• | the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts; |
• | our ability to provide incremental data that show the clinical benefits of our products and solutions and to have such data published in peer-reviewed scientific journals; |
• | our ability to educate dental professionals regarding appropriate patient selection, clinical workflows and the potential benefits of our products and to integrate our products into clinical practice and dental education; |
• | the coverage and reimbursement acceptance of our products and services; |
• | pricing pressure, including from DSOs, seeking to obtain discounts on our products based on the collective bargaining power of the DSO members; |
• | negative publicity regarding our or our competitors’ products; and |

• | We did not design and maintain an effective risk assessment process. This material weakness related to the principles associated with the risk assessment component of the COSO Framework, specifically the principles relating to (i) identifying, assessing, and communicating |
• | We did not design and maintain an effective control environment, including effective information and communication controls. This material weakness related to our legacy enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) environment, which was not appropriately configured to support an effective system of information technology general controls (“ITGCs”), including controls over logical access, program change management, and system operations. As a result, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports relied upon in the financial reporting process; and |
• | We did not design and maintain effective control activities and monitoring controls, including around key account balances such as net revenues. This material weakness resulted from, and was a consequence of, the material weaknesses described above. Because business process controls relied upon system-generated reports and data that were affected by the absence of effective ITGCs, the related control activities were not designed or operating with sufficient precision. In addition, our monitoring activities did not include timely identification, communication, and remediation of control deficiencies, including separate, ongoing evaluations of the system of internal control. |
• | designed and implemented an updated risk and control framework, including a revised risk and control matrix, intended to address the risk assessment deficiencies described above; |
• | designed and implemented ITGCs within the new ERP system addressing logical access, program change management, system operations and the completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports relied upon in the financial reporting process; |
• | updated and implemented related business process controls and documentation to align with the new ERP environment and to ensure that risks are mitigated at the appropriate level of precision and consistency; and |
• | prepared an initial risk assessment and implemented controls intended to standardize and ensure consistency in our monthly financial close process. |

• | our disclosures in patent applications may not be sufficient to meet the statutory requirements for patentability; |

(1) | The number of Class A ordinary shares issuable to holders of Class B preferred shares in connection with this offering is subject to contractual anti-dilution rights that depend on the initial public offering price per share in this offering. As a result, if the initial public offering price is less than $ per share, holders of our Class B preferred shares will have the right to subscribe for additional Class A ordinary shares for a purchase price equal to their par value. Based on an assumed initial public offering price of $ per Class A ordinary share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, holders of our Class B preferred shares will have the right to subscribe for additional Class A ordinary shares. Each $1.00 decrease or increase in this assumed initial public offering price would correspondingly increase or decrease the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable to holders of Class B preferred shares pursuant to such contractual anti-dilution rights. |
(2) | As of June 30, 2026, referred to as “ordinary shares.” Following the effectiveness of our Amended and Restated Articles of Association, referred to as “Class A ordinary shares.” |
• | our 34,186,620 ordinary shares, 6,856,795 Class A preferred shares and 1,728,390 Class B preferred shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026 are converted at a one-to-one ratio into an aggregate of 42,771,805 Class A ordinary shares. Upon the Conversion, the carrying value of our Class A preferred shares and Class B preferred shares of $58,897,000 will be reclassified from mezzanine equity to (i) $57,000 of share capital, representing the aggregate nominal value of the Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion of our Class A preferred shares and Class B preferred shares, and (ii) $58,840,000 of additional paid-in capital, representing the difference between the carrying value and the nominal value of such preferred shares, within shareholders’ deficit. As a result, share capital increases from $227,000 to $284,000 and additional paid-in capital increases from $140,379,000 to $199,219,000; and |
• | of these,19,388,879 Class A ordinary shares held by our Founders are converted into 193,888,790 Class B voting rights shares at a ratio of ten Class B voting rights shares for each Class A ordinary share, resulting in 23,382,926 Class A ordinary shares and 193,888,790 Class B voting rights shares outstanding on a pro forma basis. Pro forma share capital of $284,000 is allocated (i) $155,000 to our Class A ordinary shares and (ii) $129,000 to our Class B voting rights shares. As ten Class B voting rights shares have the same aggregate nominal value as one Class A ordinary share, the conversion of Class A ordinary shares held by our Founders into Class B voting rights shares does not change total share capital or additional paid-in capital. |

• | We did not design and maintain an effective risk assessment process. This material weakness related to the principles associated with the risk assessment component of the COSO Framework, specifically the principles relating to (i) identifying, assessing and communicating appropriate control objectives, (ii) identifying and analyzing risks to achieving those objectives, (iii) considering the potential for fraud and (iv) identifying and assessing changes that could significantly impact the system of internal control; |
• | We did not design and maintain an effective control environment, including effective information and communication controls. This material weakness related to our legacy ERP environment, which was not appropriately configured to support an effective system of ITGCs, including controls over logical access, program change management and system operations. As a result, we did not design and maintain effective controls over the completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports relied upon in the financial reporting process; and |
• | We did not design and maintain effective control activities and monitoring controls. This material weakness resulted from, and was a consequence of, the material weaknesses described above. Because business process controls relied upon system-generated reports and data that were affected by the absence of effective ITGCs, the related control activities were not designed or operating with sufficient precision. In addition, our monitoring activities did not include timely identification, communication and remediation of control deficiencies, including separate, ongoing evaluations of the system of internal control. |
• | designed and implemented an updated risk and control framework, including a revised risk and control matrix, intended to address the risk assessment deficiencies described above; |
• | designed and implemented ITGCs within the new ERP system addressing logical access, program change management, system operations and the completeness and accuracy of system-generated reports relied upon in the financial reporting process; |
• | updated and implemented related business process controls and documentation to align with the new ERP environment and to ensure that risks are mitigated at the appropriate level of precision and consistency; and |
• | prepared an initial risk assessment and implemented controls intended to standardize and ensure consistency in our monthly financial close process. |
• | Patient-friendly: needle-free, drill-free and pain-free |
• | Non-invasive: natural tooth structure is preserved |
• | Clinically validated: extensive clinical evidence supporting performance and tolerability |
• | Efficient: up to five-minute treatment duration and single visit procedure |
• | Affordable: comparable treatment cost to small, single-surface “drill-and-fill” procedure, with the potential to minimize future costs associated with increasingly invasive procedures |
• | New, billable treatment option: alternative to the current treatment options for early-stage cavities (“watch-and-wait” and “drill-and-fill”) |
• | Efficient: up to five-minute treatment duration and single-visit procedure, reducing “no show” follow-up appointments |
• | Economical: quicker treatment that allows higher revenue per hour of chair time than conventional treatment options |
• | Simple-to-use technology: can be performed by a hygienist and requires no extensive or specialized training beyond standard clinical competencies |
• | Patient compliance: supports greater patient retention and visit frequency |

Because Curodont® is entirely non-invasive, clinicians no longer need to adopt a prolonged “watch-and-wait” approach to early-stage cavities or resort to drilling, which removes healthy tooth structure. Instead, treatment can begin immediately at detection without committing the tooth to a cycle of increasingly invasive treatments that historically begin with the first drilling. |
• | A non-invasive experience that addresses dental anxiety and makes patients of all ages more likely to return. By eliminating drilling, needles and anaesthesia, our flagship Curodont® products, which are non-staining and tasteless, offer a fundamentally different patient experience that we believe can meaningfully reduce dental anxiety and encourage existing patients to return for regular check-ups in order to pursue a drill-free life. We believe this superior experience is itself an adoption driver, as patients who might otherwise defer dental care become more willing to seek, accept and return for treatment. Our market research indicates that a meaningful share of patients presented with the benefits of Curodont® would consider switching dentists to get access to our flagship Curodont® products. |
• | A treatment that frees up chair time and benefits the dental practice. Because the procedure typically takes five minutes or less and can be delegated to a dental hygienist—compared with the 30-plus minutes typically required for “drill-and-fill” performed by a dentist—Curodont® frees a significant amount of dentist chair time that can be redeployed to higher-value procedures, leading to potentially higher revenue per hour of chair time than conventional early-stage treatments. |
• | An affordable solution that is economically beneficial for patients in the long-term. While we continue to pursue broader reimbursement coverage from public and private payors, we believe based on our real-world data that many patients are willing to pay for Curodont® out of pocket due to its comparatively low retail price (comparable to a small, single-surface “drill-and-fill” procedure). In addition, the long-term savings of Curodont®s early intervention are |

The lesions were treated with Curodont® Repair followed by once-per-week application of one tube of Curodont® Protect. Changes in stage of cavitation and restoration were assessed over follow-ups ranging between 0.4 and | At the last available follow-up, no progression (reduction of or no change in severity) was seen in 93% of the treated lesions. Regression occurred in 37-40% of the lesions, with the rate of regression being similar regardless of its initial depth of the lesions. In lesions with a long term follow-up (>2 years), over 90% of the lesions did not cavitate. No serious adverse events were reported. | Authors included Claudine Bommer, a former employee of vVARDIS, and Jeremy Horst Keeper, who was director of clinical innovation at CareQuest Innovation Partners (“CareQuest”).

Jepsen Institution: Dental practice in Aachen, Germany Timeframe: From October 2012 to October 2015 Study design: Randomized, controlled double-blinded split-mouth clinical trial Sample size: 88 lesions in 36 patients (average age range: 15-27 years) Description: The clinical trial compared the efficacy of Curodont® Repair to FV in the treatment of early-stage lesions on buccal surfaces of permanent teeth (“White Spot Lesions”). Subjects presenting at least two clinically affected teeth were treated at day 0 and day 90 with Curodont® Repair or FV (for the control group). At day 180, FV was applied on all study lesions. Cavity assessment was done with standardized photographs at days 0, 30, 90, 180 and 360 and blindly morphometrically assessed followed by | HLM analysis showed a significant difference between Curodont® Repair and FV at all follow-up visits, indicating a statistically significant decrease in sizes of lesions treated with Curodont® Repair and stabilization of control lesions (p = 0.001). More rapid and greater decrease in VAS scores was observed in the test group than in the control group, indicating cavity regression in the test group and a tendency of arrest with slight trend toward remineralization in the control group. Additionally, the second application of Curodont® Repair was found to provide no significant benefit, as the cavity regression primarily occurred in the first three months. The authors concluded that Curodont® Repair is the first cavity treatment approach aiming to regenerate decayed enamel by initiating the formation of de novo hydroxyapatite in the depth of early cavities, adding a new advanced therapy option for cavities. Adverse events were not monitored as a study endpoint in this study. | Credentis AG served as the primary sponsor of the study, providing monetary support and participating in the study’s plan and design.

Splieth Institution: University of Greifswald, Germany Timeframe: From February 2013 to April 2014 Study design: Randomized controlled clinical single-blinded trial Sample size: 70 patients (average age range: 7-13 years) Description: The clinical study investigated the safety and clinical efficacy of Curodont® Repair for treatment of early-stage cavities on occlusal surfaces of erupting permanent molars. Subjects were randomized to receive either Curodont® Repair and FV or FV alone. Cavities were assessed at baseline and at three and six months with laser fluorescence (“DiagnoDent”), a visual analog scale, the ICDAS system and Nyvad cavity activity criteria. Intention-to-treat analyses were performed, and | Compared with FV, Curodont® Repair and FV showed statistically significant improvement in all outcomes at three and six months. The laser fluorescence readings (p = 0.015) and visual analog scale scores (p < 0.0001) were significantly lower for Curodont® Repair and FV, showed regression in the ICDAS index (p = 0.018) and inactivation of lesions (80% with the test group and 34% in the control group; p < 0.0001). No adverse events occurred. Statistical significance was demonstrated across all primary and secondary endpoints. The authors concluded that the biometric approach facilitated by Curodont® Repair and FV is a simple, safe and effective non-invasive treatment for early cavities that is superior to the presently used gold standard of fluoride alone. This could avoid additional loss of healthy hard tissue during invasive restorative treatments, potentially enabling longer tooth life and thereby lowering long-term health costs. | This work was financially supported in part by Credentis AG.

Cavity assessment was done at one, three and six months using Diagnodent. | Laser fluorescence scores significantly improved in both groups over time (p < 0.05). At three and six months, Curodont® Repair Fluoride Plus demonstrated statistically lower laser fluorescence readings in comparison to FV-CP (p < 0.05). There was 60% less risk for cavities progression for Curodont® Repair Fluoride Plus when compared to FV-CP after six months. At six months, Curodont® Repair Fluoride Plus led to complete reduction in sizes of 65.5% of the treated lesions, while the rest showed reduction to a lower severity grade. FV-CP led to complete reduction in 13.8% of cases, partial reduction in 82.8% of cases while 3.4% showed no change. Statistical significance was demonstrated (p < 0.05).

DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW | SWISS CORPORATE LAW | ||
Mergers and similar arrangements | |||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, with certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. A shareholder of a Delaware corporation participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which such shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair value of the shares held by such shareholder (as determined by a court) in lieu of the consideration such shareholder would otherwise receive in the transaction. The Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that a parent corporation, by resolution of its board of directors, may merge with any subsidiary, of which it owns at least 90.0% of each class of capital stock, without a vote by the shareholders of such subsidiary. Upon any such merger, dissenting shareholders of the subsidiary would have appraisal rights. | Under Swiss law, with certain exceptions, a merger or a demerger of the corporation or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation must be approved by two-thirds of the voting rights represented at the respective general meeting of shareholders as well as the majority of the par value of shares represented at such general meeting of shareholders. A shareholder of a Swiss corporation participating in a statutory merger or demerger pursuant to the Swiss Merger Act (Fusionsgesetz) can file a lawsuit against the surviving company. If the consideration is deemed “inadequate,” such shareholder may, in addition to the consideration (be it in shares or in cash) receive an additional amount to ensure that such shareholder receives the fair value of the shares held by such shareholder. Swiss law also provides that if the merger agreement provides only for a compensation payment, at least 90.0% of all members in the transferring legal entity who are entitled to vote shall approve the merger agreement. | ||
Shareholders’ suits | |||
Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to shareholders of a Delaware corporation for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law. In such actions, the court has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action. | Class actions and derivative actions as such are not available under Swiss law. Nevertheless, certain actions may have a similar effect. A shareholder is entitled to bring suit against directors, officers or liquidators for breach of their duties and claim the payment of the company’s losses or damages to the corporation and, in some cases, to the individual shareholder. Likewise, an appraisal lawsuit won by a shareholder may indirectly compensate all shareholders. In addition, to the extent that U.S. laws and regulations provide a basis for liability and U.S. courts have jurisdiction, a class action may be available. | ||
DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW | SWISS CORPORATE LAW | ||
Under Swiss law, the winning party is generally entitled to recover a limited amount of attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with such action. The court has discretion to permit the shareholder who lost the lawsuit to recover attorneys’ fees incurred to the extent that he or she acted in good faith. | |||
Shareholder vote on board and management compensation | |||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the board of directors has the authority to fix the compensation of directors, unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws. | Pursuant to Swiss law, the general meeting of shareholders has the non-transferable right, amongst others, to vote separately and bindingly on the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the members of the board of directors, of the executive committee and of the advisory boards (if any). If variable compensation is approved for a future period rather than for a past period, the compensation report is subject to a non-binding / advisory vote of the general meeting of shareholders. | ||
Annual vote on board renewal | |||
Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, directors are elected in an annual meeting of shareholders on a date and at a time designated by or in the manner provided in the bylaws. Re-election is possible. Classified boards are permitted. | The general meeting of shareholders elects the members of the board of directors, the (co-) chairperson(s) of the board of directors and the members of the compensation committee individually and annually for a term of office until the end of the following general meeting of shareholders. Re-election is possible. One year terms of office until the next ordinary general meeting of shareholders are mandatory under Swiss law for listed companies. Classified boards are not permitted. | ||
Indemnification of directors and executive officers and limitation of liability | |||
The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors and certain officers (“covered officers”) of the corporation for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except no provision in the certificate of incorporation may eliminate or limit the liability of a director or covered officer for: • any breach of a director’s or covered officer’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders; | Under Swiss corporate law, an indemnification by the corporation of a director or member of the executive committee in relation to potential personal liability is not effective to the extent the director or member of the executive committee intentionally or grossly negligently violated his or her corporate duties towards the corporation. Furthermore, the general meeting of shareholders may discharge (release) the directors and members of the executive committee from liability for their conduct to the extent the respective facts are known to shareholders. Such discharge is effective only with respect to claims of the company and of those shareholders who approved the discharge or who have since acquired their shares | ||
DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW | SWISS CORPORATE LAW | ||
• acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; • statutory liability for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful share purchase or redemption against a director; or • any transaction from which the director or covered officer derived an improper personal benefit; • any claim brought by or on behalf of the corporation (i.e., derivative claims) against a covered officer. | in full knowledge of the discharge. Most violations of corporate law are regarded as violations of duties towards the corporation rather than towards the shareholders. In addition, indemnification of other controlling persons is not permitted under Swiss corporate law, including shareholders of the corporation. | ||
Covered officers eligible for exculpation include any individual who (i) is or was president, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, chief legal officer, controller, treasurer or chief accounting officer; (ii) is or was a named executive officer identified in the corporation’s SEC filings; or (iii) has by written agreement with the corporation consented to be identified as an officer for purposes of accepting service of process. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, other than an action by or on behalf of the corporation, because the person is or was a director or officer, against liability incurred in connection with the proceeding if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation; and the director or officer, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. Unless ordered by a court, any foregoing indemnification is subject to a determination that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct: • by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the proceeding, even though less than a quorum; • by a committee of directors designated by a majority vote of the eligible directors, even though less than a quorum; | The articles of association of a Swiss corporation may also set forth that the corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by the law, the directors and executive managers out of assets of the corporation against threatened, pending or completed actions. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association (which will come into force immediately prior to the completion of this offering) provide for such indemnification. Also, a corporation may enter into and pay for directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which may cover negligent acts as well. | ||
DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW | SWISS CORPORATE LAW | ||
• by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if there are no eligible directors, or if the eligible directors so direct; or • by the shareholders. Moreover, a Delaware corporation may not indemnify a director or officer in connection with any proceeding in which the director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for those expenses which the court deems proper. | |||
Directors’ fiduciary duties | |||
A director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components: • the duty of care; and • the duty of loyalty. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself or herself of, and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He or she must not use his or her corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and | The board of directors of a Swiss corporation manages the business of the corporation, unless responsibility for such management has been duly delegated to the executive committee based on organizational rules. However, there are several non-transferable duties of the board of directors: • the overall management of the corporation and the issuing of all necessary directives; • determination of the corporation’s organization; • the organization of the accounting, financial control and financial planning systems as required for management of the corporation; • the appointment and dismissal of persons entrusted with managing and representing the corporation; • the overall supervision of the persons entrusted with managing the corporation, in particular with regard to compliance with the law, articles of association, operational regulations and directives; • the compilation of the annual report, the compensation report, the report on non-financial matters and any other reports required by law, the preparation for the general meeting of the shareholders and implementation of its resolutions; and | ||
DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW | SWISS CORPORATE LAW | ||
that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation. | • the filing of an application for a debt restructuring moratorium and notification of the court in the event that the company is over-indebted. The members of the board of directors must perform their duties with all due diligence and safeguard the interests of the corporation in good faith. They must afford the shareholders equal treatment in equal circumstances. The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent director would exercise under like circumstances. Members of the board of directors and the executive committee are required to immediately and fully disclose any conflict of interest to the board of directors. The duty of loyalty requires directors to safeguard the interests of the corporation, putting aside their own interests where necessary. Where a risk of conflict exists, the board of directors must take appropriate measures to ensure that the interests of the company are duly protected. The burden of proof for a violation of these duties is with the corporation or with the shareholder bringing a suit against the director. The Swiss Federal Supreme Court has established a doctrine that restricts its review of a business decision if the decision has been taken following proper preparation, on an informed basis and without conflicts of interest. | ||
Shareholder action by written consent | |||
A Delaware corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent. | Shareholders of a Swiss corporation may exercise their voting rights in a general meeting of shareholders. Shareholders can only act by written consents if no shareholder requests a general meeting of shareholders. The articles of association must allow for (independent) proxies to be present at a general meeting of shareholders. The instruction of such (independent) proxies may occur in writing or electronically. | ||
DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW | SWISS CORPORATE LAW | ||
Shareholder proposals | |||
A shareholder of a Delaware corporation has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings. | At any general meeting of shareholders, any shareholder may put proposals to the meeting if the proposal is part of an agenda item. No resolution may be taken on proposals relating to the agenda items that were not duly notified; exceptions to this are motions to convene an extraordinary general meeting or to carry out a special audit and to appoint an external auditor. Unless the articles of association provide for a lower threshold or for additional shareholders’ rights: • shareholders together representing at least 5% of the share capital or voting rights may demand that a general meeting of shareholders be called for specific agenda items and specific proposals; and • shareholders together representing shares with a par value of at least 0.5% of the share capital or the voting rights may demand that an agenda item including a specific proposal, or a proposal with respect to an existing agenda item, be put on the agenda for a scheduled general meeting of shareholders, provided such request is made with appropriate lead time. | ||
Any shareholder can propose candidates for election as directors or make other proposals within the scope of an agenda item without prior written notice. In addition, any shareholder is entitled, at a general meeting of shareholders and without advance notice, to (i) request information from the board of directors on the affairs of the company (note, however, that the right to obtain such information is limited), (ii) request information from the auditors on the methods and results of their audit, (iii) request that the general meeting of shareholders resolve to convene an extraordinary general meeting or (iv) request that the general meeting of shareholders resolve to appoint an examiner to carry out a special examination (Sonderuntersuchung). | |||
Cumulative voting | |||
Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides for it. | Cumulative voting is not permitted under Swiss corporate law. Pursuant to Swiss law, shareholders can vote for each proposed candidate, but they are not allowed to cumulate their votes for single | ||
DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW | SWISS CORPORATE LAW | ||
candidates. An annual individual election of (i) all members of the board of directors, (ii) the (co-) chairperson(s) of the board of directors, (iii) the members of the compensation committee and (iv) the election of the independent proxy for a term of office of one year (i.e., until the following annual general meeting of shareholders), as well as the vote on the maximum aggregate amount of compensation of the members of the board of directors, of the executive committee and of the members of any advisory board, is mandatory for listed companies. Re-election is permitted. | |||
Removal of directors | |||
A Delaware corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. | A Swiss corporation may remove, with or without cause, any director at any time with a resolution passed by a majority of the voting rights represented at a general meeting of shareholders where a proposal for such removal was properly set on the agenda. The articles of association may require the approval by a supermajority of the voting rights represented at a meeting for the removal of a director. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association provide for such supermajority. | ||
Transactions with interested shareholders | |||
The Delaware General Corporation Law generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in certain business combinations with an “interested shareholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or group who or which owns or owned 15.0% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares within the past three years. | No such rule applies to a Swiss corporation. | ||
Dissolution; Winding up | |||
Unless the board of directors of a Delaware corporation approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100.0% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation’s outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. | A dissolution of a Swiss corporation requires the approval by two-thirds of the voting rights represented at the respective general meeting of shareholders as well as the majority of the par value of shares represented at such general meeting of shareholders. The articles of association may increase the voting thresholds required for such a resolution. Our Amended and Restated Articles of Association do not provide for such higher threshold. | ||
DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW | SWISS CORPORATE LAW | ||
Variation of rights of shares | |||
A Delaware corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. | The general meeting of shareholders of a Swiss corporation may resolve that preference shares be issued or that existing shares be converted into preference shares with a resolution passed by a majority of the voting rights represented at the general meeting of shareholders. Where a company has issued preference shares, further preference shares conferring preferential rights over the existing preference shares may be issued only with the consent of both a special meeting of the adversely affected holders of the existing preference shares and of a general meeting of all shareholders, unless otherwise provided in the articles of association. Shares with preferential voting rights (such as our Class B voting rights shares) are not regarded as preference shares for these purposes. | ||
Amendment of governing documents | |||
A Delaware corporation’s governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. | The articles of association of a Swiss corporation may be amended with a resolution passed by a majority of the voting rights represented at a general meeting of shareholders, unless otherwise provided in the articles of association. There are a number of resolutions, such as an amendment of the stated purpose of the corporation, the introduction of a capital range and conditional capital and the introduction of shares with preferential voting rights, that require the approval by two-thirds of the voting rights and a majority of the par value of the shares represented at such general meeting of shareholders. The articles of association may increase these voting thresholds. | ||
Inspection of books and records | |||
Shareholders of a Delaware corporation, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose, and to obtain copies of, list(s) of shareholders and other books and records of the corporation and its subsidiaries, if any, to the extent the books and records of such subsidiaries are available to the corporation. | Under Swiss law, any shareholder may request access to the minutes within 30 days following the general meeting. A corporation’s annual report, compensation report and the auditors’ reports must be made available for inspection by shareholders at least 20 calendar days prior to each annual general meeting of shareholders. If the documents are not electronically accessible, (i) any shareholder may request that they be sent to them in good time and (ii) any shareholder may for one year following the general meeting request that they be sent the annual report in the form approved | ||
DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW | SWISS CORPORATE LAW | ||
by the general meeting together with the audit reports. At the general meeting, any shareholder is entitled to information from the board of directors on the affairs of the company and information from the external auditors on the methods and results of their audit. Shareholders of a Swiss corporation holding in the aggregate at least 5% of the nominal share capital or voting rights have the right to inspect books and records, subject to the safeguarding of the company’s business secrets and other interests warranting protection. A shareholder is only entitled to receive information to the extent required to exercise his or her rights as a shareholder. The board of directors has to decide on an inspection request within four months after receipt of such request. Denial of the request will need to be justified in writing. If the board of directors denies an inspection request, shareholders may request the order of an inspection by the court within 30 days. A shareholder’s right to inspect the share register is limited to the right to inspect his or her own entry in the share register. | |||
Payment of dividends | |||
The board of directors may approve a dividend without shareholder approval. Subject to any restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation, the board may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock either: • out of its surplus; or • in case there is no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. Shareholder approval is required to authorize capital stock in excess of that provided in the charter. Directors may issue authorized shares without shareholder approval. | Dividend (including interim dividend) payments are subject to the approval of the general meeting of shareholders. The board of directors may propose to shareholders that a dividend shall be paid but cannot itself authorize the distribution. Payments out of a Swiss corporation’s share capital (in other words, the aggregate par value of the corporation’s shares) in the form of dividends are not allowed and may be made only by way of a share capital reduction. Dividends may be paid only from the profits of the previous or current business year or brought forward from previous business years or if the corporation has distributable reserves, each as evidenced by the corporation’s audited stand-alone statutory balance sheet prepared pursuant to Swiss law and after allocations to reserves required by Swiss law and the articles of association have been deducted. | ||
DELAWARE CORPORATE LAW | SWISS CORPORATE LAW | ||
Creation and issuance of new shares | |||
All creation of shares requires the board of directors to adopt a resolution or resolutions, pursuant to authority expressly vested in the board of directors by the provisions of the company’s certificate of incorporation. | Any creation of shares requires a shareholders’ resolution. The creation of a capital range or conditional share capital requires at least two-thirds of the voting rights represented at the general meeting of shareholders and a majority of the par value of shares represented at such meeting. The board of directors may issue or cancel shares out of the capital range during a period of up to five years by a maximum amount of 50% (in either direction) of the current share capital. Shares are created and issued out of conditional share capital through the exercise of options or of conversion rights that the board of directors may grant to shareholders, creditors of bonds or similar debt instruments, employees, contractors or consultants, directors of the company or another group company or third parties. | ||

* | In accordance with the applicable accounting standards, a current debt obligation should be excluded from current liabilities if the entity has both the intent and ability to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis. Such intent and ability is evidenced by a post-balance-sheet-date issuance of a long-term obligation. As of December 31, 2025, 2026 Term Loan Tranche I and 2026 Term Loan Tranche II had maturities of August 2026 and December 2026, respectively. In January 2026, both maturity dates were extended to June 2027, with no other material modifications to the terms of the agreements. As a result, these obligations are classified as non-current in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Refer to Note 19 for additional details. |

* | As of December 31, 2025, 2026 Term Loan Tranche I and 2026 Term Loan Tranche II had contractual maturities of August 2026 and December 2026, respectively. However, in January 2026, both maturity dates were extended to June 2027, with no other material modifications to the terms of the agreements. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2025, the Company classified these obligations as non-current based on its intent and ability to refinance the debt on a long-term basis, as evidenced by the post-balance-sheet-date maturity extension. As of June 30, 2026, these obligations are classified as current because the extended June 2027 maturity date falls within twelve months of the balance sheet date. |
