Berlin, Germany, October 28, 2013 - Epigenomics AG (ISIN: DE000A1K0516)
announces that the Company's Executive Board today with the approval of the
Supervisory Board has resolved on an increase of the Company's share
capital by up to EUR 4,136,720 from the authorized capital. This capital
increase follows a previous capital increase, published via ad hoc
announcement on October 27, 2013, through which the strategic partner
BioChain invested into the Company. The newly issued shares resulting from
the envisaged capital increase will be offered against contribution in cash
in a private placement to institutional investors in Europe and the U.S..
The preemptive rights of the shareholders will be excluded. The issue price
has been set at EUR 4.993 per share and equals the volume-weighted average
XETRA trading price during the last three trading days including the day of
this announcement.
The placement of the shares is scheduled for Tuesday, October 29, 2013.
Following completion of the placement, the Supervisory and Executive Boards
of the Company are going to resolve on the final amount of shares to be
issued, such resolution to be disclosed by way of an ad hoc announcement
without undue delay.
Epigenomics AG intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to finance
its current operations and to build and strengthen the distribution
capacities for its lead product Epi proColon(R), a blood-based test for the
detection of colorectal cancer.
