Publication of an ad hoc release pursuant to Section 15 of the German
Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz, WpHG)

4SC AG issues second tranche of convertible notes with a nominal amount of
EUR 500,000 to Yorkville

Planegg-Martinsried, 3 September 2014 - 4SC AG (Frankfurt, Prime Standard:
VSC) today announced that it successfully completed the issuance of
convertible notes with a nominal amount of EUR 500,000.00. 4SC will use the
proceeds for the further preparation of a planned clinical Phase II study
with its cancer compound resminostat in the liver cancer indication.

These convertible notes constitute the second tranche of a total issuance
of up to EUR 15 million guaranteed by an agreement between YA Global Master
SPV Ltd. ("Yorkville") and the Company, as announced in an ad hoc release
dated 12 February 2014. Prior to this, a first tranche of convertible notes
issued in March 2014 of nominally EUR 500,000.00 was completely converted
into shares. Following the successful conversion of previously issued
tranches, 4SC's Management will decide independently on a case-by-case
basis whether additional tranches will be issued.

Excluding the pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders, the convertible
notes will be issued exclusively to Yorkville at a subscription price
corresponding to 95% of the nominal amount. The notes carry no interest,
have a term of nine month and may be converted into shares of 4SC by the
holder of the notes at any time. The conversion price equals the volume
weighted average trading price of 4SC shares during a five-day period prior
to the time of conversion, less a 5% discount, but it cannot be lower than
EUR 1.00.
