Martinsried/Munich, June 5, 2013.
Medigene AG (MDG, Frankfurt, Prime Standard) announces today that
it will publish its invitation to the annual general meeting, which
will be held on 16 July, 2013, in the Federal Gazette on Friday, 7
June 2013. On the occasion of the annual general meeting, the
Executive Board will report on the company's financial and
operational progress. The agenda includes a draft resolution of the
Executive and Supervisory Boards on an ordinary reduction of
Medigene AG share capital by EUR 29,616,417.00 to EUR
9,872,139.00 by consolidation of the issued no-par value shares in
a ratio of 4:1 from 39,488,556 to 9,872,139 shares, pursuant to §§
222 ff. of the German Stock Corporation Act.
This measure does not affect the
value of the company. Being an accounting measure, the reduction
will result in a transfer from subscribed capital to capital
reserves on the shareholders' equity side of the balance sheet of
Medigene AG. Thereby the price of the shares shall be significantly
increased above the nominal value of one Euro therefore increasing
the transaction capacity of Medigene AG in respect of the minimum
issue price according to § 9, par. 1 of the German Stock
Corporation Act. However, no specific measures are currently
planned.
Additional agenda items provide
for a reduction of the Supervisory Board from six to three members
by amendment to the Articles of Incorporation as well as the
re-election of the Supervisory Board members. The term of office of
all Supervisory Board members ends according to schedule with the
close of the annual general meeting on 16 July 2013. The
Supervisory Board nominates the following persons for election to
the Supervisory Board: Prof. Dr. Horst Domdey, Dave Lemus and Dr.
Yita Lee for a period of three years; Prof. Dr. Winnacker, Dr.
Werner, and Mr. Kühn until the registration of the above-mentioned
amendment to the Articles of Incorporation into the Commercial
Register. Prof. Dr. Domdey is a co-founder of Medigene AG and
managing director of BioM Biotech
Cluster Development GmbH, Martinsried, Germany. Mr. Lemus is Chief
Executive Officer of Sigma-Tau Pharmaceuticals Inc., Gaithersburg,
USA and previously served as Chief Financial Officer of Morphosys
AG, Martinsried, Germany. Dr. Lee is Chief Scientific Officer of
the Sinphar Group, Taipei, Taiwan.
Dr. Frank
Mathias, Chief Executive Officer of Medigene AG, comments:
"During the past few months, Medigene reported important news and
progress in its operative business, for example the global
partnership for EndoTAG®-1, as well as
new market approvals and launches of Veregen®. We now
propose to our shareholders a capital reduction in order to further
strengthen our share price and our capacity to act strategically.
In addition, the Supervisory Board should be adapted to the size of
our company. We are delighted to have a selection of highly
qualified candidates with many years of experience in the German
and international biotech industries and we look forward to
presenting our proposals to our shareholders at the upcoming annual
general meeting."
