Extraordinary General Meeting of Zur Rose Group AG:

Shareholders approve creation of authorised capital and revision to Articles of
Association for initial public offering (IPO)

At today's Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders of Zur Rose Group AG
approved all proposals from the Board of Directors by a large majority. A total
of 2,436,167 voting shares, equal to 51.1 per cent of the share capital, were
represented. The General Meeting approved the formal amendments to the Articles
of Association necessary for a stock exchange listing: the creation of
authorised share capital with a nominal value of CHF 12,474,159.25,
corresponding to 5 per cent of the existing share capital (2,169,419 registered
shares with a nominal value of CHF 5.75 each), as well as the complete revision
of the Articles of Association required for an IPO. The revised Articles of
Association will become effective only upon completion of the capital increase
as part of an IPO of Zur Rose Group AG. The IPO would take place on SIX Swiss
Exchange. Among other things, Zur Rose Group would use the funds raised in the
capital increase to better exploit the growth opportunities in the market to
further expand its strong position in the European pharmaceutical e-commerce
sector.
