    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.
