    Biotest AG: Annual general meeting approves increase of dividend

    - Distribution of EUR 0.50 per ordinary share and EUR 0.56 per preference
    share

    Dreieich / Frankfurt a. M., 8 May 2013. At the annual general meeting (AGM)
    held on 8 May 2013 in Frankfurt am Main shareholders of Biotest AG approved
    payment of an increased dividend. With 82,4 percent of the ordinary share
    capital represented at the meeting, a payment of EUR 0.50 per ordinary

    shares and 12.0% for preference shares. The overall distribution will
    amount to EUR 6.2 million.

    The annual general meeting attended by around 180 shareholders and guests
