Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions Agrees to Pay CHF 11.54 Million in Brazil Corruption Settlement

• Koenig & Bauer subsidiary Koenig & Bauer Banknote Solutions signed a Brazilian leniency agreement, ending a corruption investigation launched in 2019.
• The subsidiary must pay CHF 11.54 million in compensation within 60 days; it faces no financial penalty or Brazilian public-contract ban.
• A separate Brazilian audit court proceeding remains open, but the court can no longer impose financial penalties or a public-contract ban.
• The subsidiary will seek partial reimbursement of CHF 30 million confiscated in Switzerland in 2017, offsetting the Brazilian compensation payment.
• The settlement is expected to have no material earnings impact; the compensation payment does not affect the group's financial position versus guidance.
