Ad Hoc Announcement
According to Sec. 15 WPHG
For Immediate Release
Agennix AG Announces Extraordinary General Meeting
Munich (Germany) and Princeton, NJ, April 9, 2013 - The Management Board
and Supervisory Board of Agennix AG (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: AGX) today
have approved an agenda for an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to be
held on May 22, 2013, including proposals for the liquidation of Agennix AG
and a 20:1 reverse stock split. The Company continues to pursue various
strategic options and will ask shareholders to vote on these two proposals,
among other items. The liquidation of Agennix AG would eliminate the public
entity but still permit potential transactions involving the Company's
clinical assets and its U.S. subsidiaries as part of the process. The
reverse stock split is proposed to reduce the number of outstanding shares
to address the situation under § 92 par. 1 AktG by covering losses and to
permit issuance of shares in connection with a potential strategic
transaction. Management expects to make a recommendation by the date of the
EGM to approve either the reverse stock split or the liquidation proposal,
depending on progress made towards completing a strategic transaction and
the nature of such a deal. In addition, the Management Board will discuss
at the EGM the previously announced notice of loss pursuant to § 92 par. 1
AktG.
In addition to continuing to pursue strategic opportunities such as
potential combinations with other life sciences companies, Agennix is
continuing to take steps to further conserve cash, including an additional
staff reduction, as well as plans to de-list from the Prime Standard
sub-section of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and list on the General
Standard of the regulated market.
END OF AD HOC ANNOUNCEMENT
