Event Summary

UBS, through its affiliates, repeatedly crossed the 3% voting rights threshold in Azelis Group, a specialty chemical and food ingredients distributor listed on Brussels Stock Exchange. Between 20 July and 6 August 2026, UBS filed several transparency notifications under the Belgian Transparency Law, reflecting acquisitions and disposals of shares and equivalent financial instruments. The transactions caused UBS's aggregate holding to fluctuate above and below the 3% threshold, with the final notification on 10 August 2026 reporting a downward crossing below 3% as of 6 August 2026. These filings are routine regulatory disclosures and do not indicate a change in control or strategic intent.
