Mikron Board of Directors supports the proposal of Veraison SICAV to the
Annual General Meeting

Biel, March 22, 2016, 7 a.m. - The Board of Directors of Mikron Holding AG
supports the proposal of Veraison SICAV, Zurich, to transfer the delisting
competence from the Board of Directors to the Annual General Meeting. The
Board of Directors believes this to be appropriate, because delisting would
primarily affect shareholders.

As announced on March 3, 2016, Veraison SICAV has submitted a request to
Mikron Holding AG for inclusion of an item on the agenda at the Annual
General Meeting of April 12, 2016. In the request, it proposed that the
delisting competence be transferred from the Board of Directors to the
Annual General Meeting. The Board of Directors of Mikron Holding AG has
added this proposal to the agenda. The invitation and agenda for the
upcoming Annual General Meeting will be sent to shareholders of Mikron
Holding AG in the next few days. The Board of Directors believes in the
future of Mikron as a listed company. Since delisting would primarily
affect shareholders, it considers it appropriate to transfer the delisting
competence to the Annual General Meeting and, by subjecting it to a higher
decision-making quorum, to introduce an element of minority protection.
