Squeeze out registered with the Company register. Name changed to Nikon SLM Solutions AG

Nikon SLM Solutions AG (formerly "SLM Solutions Group AG" and in the following, the "Company") was informed on September 1, 2023, that the resolution to transfer the shares of the minority shareholders to Nikon AM. AG as the main shareholder 3 has been registered, and thus became effective today. Concurrently, the merger of the Company with Nikon AM. AG (in the future operating under "Nikon SLM Solutions AG"), has been registered and thus also became effective today.

With these registrations, the SLM Solutions Group AG ceased to exist and Nikon SLM Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, became the universal legal successor (Gesamtrechtsnachfolger) of the Company. Consequently, the Company's shares will be delisted automatically from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange with immediate effect.

Sam O'Leary, CEO of SLM Solutions said, "We are pleased with the conclusion of the squeeze-out procedure, which will further help to save considerable listing costs and support the team in doing what they do best - pushing the boundaries of manufacturing. Our new name "Nikon SLM Solutions AG", enables us to benefit from the global brand presence of a technology powerhouse such as Nikon, while also retaining our own rich legacy in the industry."
