Disclosure of share ownership

Disclosure of share ownership – The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation files a share ownership of 4.11% in Syngenta’s share capital through addition of a direct holder and an indirect holder

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 February 3, 2014, that its total holding in Syngenta now amounts to 3,828,655 shares (4.11% of the total share capital), split into 3,791,070 registered shares plus ADRs (ISIN US87160A1007, 1 ADR=0.2 share) corresponding to 37,585 shares. Details are available on https://www.six-exchange-regulation.com/obligations/management_transaction/ddeal/login_en.html.

The change in share ownership needed to be reported to the Swiss Stock Exchange because of the addition of BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC as a direct holder of shares and BNY Capital Markets Holdings, Inc. as an indirect holder of shares of Syngenta AG as of January 31, 2014.

The contact person within The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation for this notification is Ivan Arias, BNY Mellon Investment Management Services, 144 Glenn Curtiss Blvd., Uniondale, NY 11556, U.S.A.
