    Public disclosure of inside information according to article 17 MAR

    Munich (pta023/22.03.2019/19:00) - The Executive Board of Formycon AG (ISIN: DE000A1EWVY8/ WKN: A1EWVY) today passed the resolution with the approval of the Supervisory Board to increase the company's capital stock of currently EUR 9,422,603.00 to a total of EUR 10,000,000.00 by partially utilizing approved capital of EUR 577,397.00 to issue 577,397 new bearer shares with a computational proportion in the capital stock of EUR 1.00 each in return for a cash investment.

    The par value of the new shares was set at EUR 29.90 per share. This results in total gross proceeds from the share issue of EUR 17,264,170.30. The shareholders' subscription right according to §4 Para. 3 of the Articles of Association were excluded for the new shares. Subscription took place as a private placement by the M&H Equity AG, a strategic investor from Switzerland. The funds acquired from the capital increase will be used primarily to develop the company's own biosimilar products, particularly FYB205. The new shares will shortly be approved for trading in the "Scale" segment of OTC trading at the Frankfurt Stock Market and will be entitled to a share of profits from the start of the financial year, for which the Annual General Meeting had not yet passed a resolution regarding the use of the balance sheet profits at the time that the shares were issued.

    About Biosimilars:
    Since their introduction in the 1980s, biopharmaceuticals have revolutionized the treatment of serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and eye diseases. In the coming years, many of these biotech drugs will lose their patent protection - and by 2020, medications with revenues of approximately USD 100 billion will be off patent. Biosimilars are follow-on versions of biopharmaceuticals, for which exclusivity has expired. They are approved via stringent regulatory pathways in highly regulated markets (such as EU, US, Japan, Canada, Australia) based on proven similarity of the biosimilar with the originator biopharmaceutical reference product. While the global market for biosimilars is currently more than USD 5.0 billion, industry experts expect this figure to grow up to USD 30 billion by the year 2025.
