Allschwil, Switzerland – January 14, 2025
Idorsia Ltd (SIX: IDIA) today announced that it has published an invitation to a bondholder meeting for holders of its outstanding convertible bond (ISIN: CH0426820350) (the Bonds or CB 2025) with a nominal value of CHF 200 million and a conversion price of CHF 6.00 per Idorsia share, maturing on January 17, 2025. At the meeting, the company will propose changing the current terms of the Bonds to avoid short-term liquidity constraints in connection with the redemption of the Bonds.

Upon the publication of the invitation, the obligations under the CB 2025 are stayed in accordance with article 1166 of the Swiss Code of Obligations. For this reason, the CB 2025 will not be repaid on January 17, 2025, and accordingly no interest payment will be made on January 17, 2025.

Bondholders can access the invitation to the bondholder meeting scheduled for February 25, 2025, at the following link: www.idorsia.com/CB2025. Terms of the resolution, a financial status report, and additional information about the meeting will be set out in a supplement to the invitation, that will be published at least 10 days before the meeting date.
