Niederweningen, 10 November 2021 | Ad hoc announcement pursuant to article 53 listing rules

Bucher Industries' monitoring systems identified an attack by malware on the IT infrastructure of the division Bucher Municipal. To avert possible damage, the company immediately initiated the necessary security measures.

Bucher Industries' monitoring systems reported activities indicating the preparation of an attack by external attackers. The company shut down the IT infrastructure of the division Bucher Municipal in a secured manner immediately after detecting the activities and stopped production as a precaution. This affects the Bucher Municipal sites worldwide as well as the Bucher Specials sites in Switzerland.

With the help of external experts, the IT infrastructure is currently undergoing an in-depth investigation so that it can be restarted as soon as possible. At present, Bucher Industries does not expect a material impact on the 2021 business results.
