Exhibit 99.1
WISeKey Shareholders Approve Redomiciliation to the British Virgin Islands at Extraordinary General Meeting
Zug, Switzerland, September 10, 2026 –WISeKey International Holding Ltd. (“WISeKey” or the “Company”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY) announces that, at the Extraordinary General Meeting (“EGM”) held on September 9, 2026, its shareholders approved the proposal of the Company’s board of directors relating to the Company’s redomiciliation from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands.
Shareholders approved the merger agreement dated June 26, 2026 between WISeKey and WISeKey International Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company and wholly owned subsidiary of WISeKey (“WISeKey BVI”), and the merger of WISeKey with and into WISeKey BVI, with WISeKey BVI as the surviving company. Upon completion of the merger, the domicile of WISeKey’s group holding company will be in the British Virgin Islands instead of in Switzerland.
The shareholder approval of the merger represents an important milestone toward completion of the merger and thus the redomiciliation. The Company will now proceed with the remaining steps required to complete the merger, which remains subject to the satisfaction of the applicable closing conditions. Upon completion, WISeKey BVI will become the publicly traded parent company of the WISeKey group.
Carlos Moreira, Chairman and CEO of WISeKey, said: “We would like to thank our shareholders for their support of this important step in WISeKey’s evolution. The approval allows us to move forward with the redomiciliation and the establishment of a corporate structure designed to support WISeKey’s continued international growth and access to global capital markets.”
The Company will keep shareholders and the market informed regarding the completion of the merger and the related implementation steps.
