Berlin, Germany, January 25, 2013 - Today the Executive Board of Epigenomics AG,
Berlin, Germany (Frankfurt Prime Standard: ECX; ISIN: DE000A1K0516), with the
approval of the Supervisory Board, has taken the decision to implement the
capital increase from authorized capital, the details of which were announced on
January 7, 2013, for the maximum number of 3,149,430 new ordinary bearer shares,
generating gross proceeds of EUR 4,976,099.
2,811,707 new ordinary bearer shares were taken up by the shareholders at a
subscription price of EUR 1.58 per new share during the subscription period
which started on January 11, 2013 and ended on January 24, 2013. The remaining
337,723 unsubscribed new shares were sold at the subscription price of EUR 1.58
per new share in a private placement to institutional investors. The private
placement was significantly oversubscribed, enabling Epigenomics AG to place the

The registration of the implementation of the capital increase with the
commercial register ("Handelsregister") and the admission of the new shares to
the regulated market ("regulierter Markt"), Prime Standard, of the Frankfurt

shares is expected to begin on January 30, 2013, and delivery of the new shares
to the investors is expected on January 31, 2013. With the registration of the
implementation of the capital increase the total issued share capital of
Epigenomics increases from EUR 8,818,417.00 to EUR 11,967,847.00.
