Heidelberg (euro adhoc) - Shareholders support management proposals at SYGNIS
Pharma´s AGM with overwhelming majority


Heidelberg, 25 November 2011 -  At  today´s  Annual  General  Meeting  (AGM)  of
SYGNIS  Pharma  AG  (Frankfurt:  LIOK;  ISIN   DE000A1E9B74;   Prime   Standard)
shareholders  representing  about  73  percent  of  the  capital  approved   all
proposals of the Management with an overwhelming majority. Main  decisions  were
related to the discharge of the members of the Supervisory  and  the  Management
Board for the past Fiscal Year, the election of the members of  the  Supervisory
Board as well as the creation of contingent capital for convertible bonds.

All members of the Supervisory Board have been re-elected,  with  the  exception
of Mr. Friedrich Christ. Mr.  Christ  has  meanwhile  retired  and  it  was  his
personal decision not to stand for re-election.  From  today´s  AGM  onwards, 
Dr.  Wolf-Dieter Starp,  Head  of  Global  M&A  at  BASF  SE,  has  been 
elected  to  the Supervisory Board.

Prof. Dr. Friedrich von Bohlen und Halbach, chairman of  the  Supervisory  Board
thanked Mr. Christ for his work and efforts during the  last  years  for  SYGNIS
Pharma AG. He welcomed Dr. Starp as a new member of the Supervisory Board.

At the AGM the two members of the Management  Board,  Peter  Willinger  and  Dr.
Frank Rathgeb, confirmed that the data on SYGNIS´ current AXIS 2 efficacy  study
for AX200 for the treatment of acute stroke  is  expected  to  be  published  in
December 2011.
