SYGNIS´ reduction of share capital in a 3:1 ratio was entered in the commercial register
Heidelberg, 15 December 2010 - SYGNIS Pharma AG (Frankfurt: LIO; ISIN DE0005043509; Prime Standard) today announced the registration of the capital reduction in the commercial register on the basis of the resolution of the Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2010. Hereby the share capital is reduced from EUR 41,258,643 to EUR 13,752,881, allocated to 13,752,881 shares outstanding.
At the same time the implementation of the capital reduction on the stock exchange and the consolidation of the shares in a 3:1 ratio were initiated. It is expected that the consolidation of the shares will be completed by the end of December 2010. Due to this process the trading of the SYGNIS shares on the stock exchange will be temporarily suspended.
The purpose of this capital reduction is primarily to improve the Company´s abilities to interact on the capital markets and to open up financing alternatives, since the Company´s share price has been below the nominal value of EUR 1 for a long period. It is anticipated that this move will better support the development of the shares.
