Disclosure of share ownership – The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation files a share ownership of 4.51% in Syngenta’s share capital through deletion 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 January 31, 2014, that its total holding in Syngenta now amounts to 4,196,801 shares (4.51% of the total share capital), split into 4,159,357 registered shares plus ADRs (ISIN US87160A1007, 1 ADR=0.2 share) corresponding to 37,444 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 deletion of BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC as a direct holder of shares and BNY Capital Markets Holdings, Inc. as a indirect holder of shares of Syngenta AG as of January 29, 2014.
