Airopack Technology Group receives extension from SIX Swiss Exchange for
publishing its 2015 Annual Report

  - SIX Swiss Exchange has granted extension until 31st May 2016 with
    reservations and conditions

  - ATG releases statement on key financials for the year 2015

Baar, 29th April 2016 - Airopack Technology Group AG ("ATG") today
announced that SIX Swiss Exchange has granted ATG an extension until 31st
May 2016 for publishing and submitting its annual report for the year 2015.
ATG's annual report 2015 was previously scheduled to be published by 29th
April 2016.

As previously disclosed, ATG's financial results are largely determined by
the Airolux joint venture. Given the deadlock situation that existed for
the joint venture, the annual accounts of the joint venture companies could
not be approved by the two partners and the respective consolidation was
not possible. Based on the settlement agreement that was reached between
ATG and Resilux on 26th April 2016, ATG will take over ownership of the
joint venture companies and will finalise the annual accounts and the
consolidation. ATG continues to devote significant resources to complete
and file its annual report 2015 as soon as possible.

SIX Swiss Exchange has requested that ATG publish the following
information:

 I. The application of Airopack Technology Group AG of 26 April 2016 for
    granting an extension of the deadline to publish its 2015 annual report
    and to file such report with SIX Exchange Regulation until 31 May 2016
    is granted with the following reservation (lit. a) and under the
    following conditions (lit. b):

 a. SIX Exchange Regulation reserves the right to suspend trading in the
    shares in Airopack Technology Group AG In case the 2015 annual report
    is not published until Tuesday, 31 May 2016, 11:59 pm CET, at the
    latest, in accordance with the provisions regarding ad hoc publicity
    (art. 53 of the Listing Rules [LR] in connection with the Directive on
    Ad hoc Publicity [DAH]).

 b. Airopack Technology Group AG is required to publish a notice in
    accordance with the provisions regarding ad hoc publicity (art. 53 LR
    in connection with the DAH) until Friday, 29 April 2016, 07:30 am CET,
    at the latest. The ad hoc notice must contain:

  - an unaltered reproduction of the wording of section I. of this
    decision, placed in a prominent position in the ad hoc notice; and

  - a statement, as precisely as possible, regarding profit/loss, revenues
    and EBITDA for the business year 2015 of Airopack Technology Group AG;
    and

  - the reasons for the application of Airopack Technology Group AG for
    granting an extension of the deadline to publish its 2015 annual report
    and to file such report with SIX Exchange Regulation.

Statement on key financials for the year 2015

SIX Swiss Exchange has requested that ATG publish a statement, a precisely
as possible, regarding profit/loss, revenues and EBITDA for its business
year 2015. ATG underlines that given the aforementioned deadlock situation
for the Airolux joint venture it is difficult to make correct management
estimates and other judgements on various profit and loss and balance sheet
items. The following unaudited consolidated key figures are based on the
current best estimates made by ATG's group management on the annual
accounts of the joint venture companies. ATG has applied Swiss GAAP FER 31
(share based payments) for the first time in 2015. The 2014 figures have
been restated for comparative purposes.
