Notice to U.S. Holders

Shareholders of Cicor Technologies Ltd. (the "Company") in the United States (the "U.S. Holders") are advised that the registered shares of Cicor Technologies Ltd. ("Cicor Shares") are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and that the Company is not subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and is not required to, and does not, file any reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") thereunder.

The Offer is being made for certain registered shares of the Company, a Swiss stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) whose shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange ("SIX"), and is subject to Swiss disclosure and procedural requirements, which are different from those of the United States.

The Offer is being made in the United States pursuant to Section 14(e) of, and Regulation 14E under, the Exchange Act, including amendments to the terms and conditions of the Offer, extensions of the Offer, purchases outside of the Offer and minimum Offer Period, and is otherwise being made in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law. Accordingly, the Offer is subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetables, settlement procedures, waiver of conditions, timing of payments and procedural requirements that are different from those applicable under United States tender offer procedures and laws. U.S. Holders of Cicor Shares resident in the United States are urged to consult with their own legal, financial and tax advisors (including with respect to Swiss law) regarding the Offer.

To the extent the Offer is subject to U.S. securities laws, those laws only apply to U.S. Holders and will not give rise to claims on the part of any other person. U.S. Holders should consider that the offer price for the Offer is being paid in CHF and that no adjustment is being made based on changes in the exchange rate.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Offer by a U.S. Holder of Cicor Shares may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable U.S. state and local laws, as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each U.S. Holder of Cicor Shares is urged to consult his or her independent professional advisor immediately regarding the U.S. tax consequences of an acceptance of the Offer.

It may be difficult for U.S. Holders to enforce their rights and any claim they may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws, since the Offeror and the Company are located in a non-U.S. jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be residents of a non-U.S. jurisdiction. U.S. Holders may not be able to sue the Company or the Offeror or their respective officers or directors in a non-U.S. court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel the Offeror and the Company and their respective affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court's judgment.

Neither the SEC nor any securities commission of any State of the U.S. has (i) approved or disapproved of the Offer; (ii) passed upon the merits or fairness of the Offer; or (iii) passed upon the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the disclosure in relation the Offer. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.
