SYGNIS announces intended changes in the Supervisory Board
Heidelberg, 6 September 2012 - SYGNIS Pharma AG (Frankfurt: LIOK; ISIN
DE000A1E9B74; Prime Standard) shall, as already announced on 18 July, 2012,
acquire 100% ownership of X-Pol Biotech, S.L., by way of capital increase
against contribution in kind and therefore X-Pol Biotech, S.L., will become a
100% subsidiary of SYGNIS Pharma AG. According to the business valuation as of
today and subject to a corresponding resolution of the shareholders of SYGNIS
Pharma AG, the existing shareholders of X-Pol Biotech, S.L., will hold 77.5% of
all shares in SYGNIS Pharma AG after the proposed transaction. By an approving
resolution on the Shareholders' Meeting regarding the therefore necessary
capital increase against contribution in kind the Shareholders' Meeting will
create the fundamental conditions for a significant change of the shareholder
structure of SYGNIS Pharma AG.
In the event the Shareholders' Meeting approves the planned capital increase of
the Company against contribution in kind, the current Members of the
Supervisory Board Prof. Dr. Friedrich von Bohlen und Halbach, Prof. Dr.
Christof Hettich, Prof. Dr. Werner Hacke, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Hartwig, Prof. Dr.
Andrea Pfeifer and Dr. Wolf-Dieter Starp have notified the Management Board of
SYGNIS Pharma AG subsequently to their Supervisory Board Meeting of 6
September, 2012, about their intention to resign from office with effect of the
end of the Shareholders' Meeting approving the capital increase against
contribution in kind. By intending to resign from office the needed
reorientation of SYGNIS Pharma AG shall be supported. Prof. Dr. Friedrich von
Bohlen und Halbach as well as Dr. Wolf-Dieter Starp intend to seek for re-
election into the Supervisory Board.
