Disclosure of share ownership

Disclosure of share ownership – The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation files a share ownership of 2.99% in Syngenta’s share capital and falls below the notifiable threshold of 3.00%

Based on Article 20 of the Swiss Stock Exchange Act, Syngenta AG informs as follows:

The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, One Wall Street, New York, NY 10286, U.S.A., disclosed on April 17, 2014, that its total holding in Syngenta now amounts to 2,780,396 shares (2.99% of the total share capital), split into 2,755,094 registered shares plus purchase rights on ADRs (ISIN US87160A1007, 1 ADR=0.2 share) corresponding to 25,302 shares. Details are available on http://www.six-exchange-regulation.com/obligations/disclosure/major_shareholders_en.html.

The change in share ownership needed to be reported to the Swiss Stock Exchange for having fallen below the notifiable threshold of 3.00 % and to reflect a deletion of direct and indirect holders as of April 16, 2014.
