Berlin, Germany, December 19, 2013 - Epigenomics AG (ISIN: DE000A1K0516)
announces the successful placement of convertible bonds, which the
Company's Executive Board, with approval of the Supervisory Board, resolved
to offer on December 3, 2013. 25 convertible bonds with an aggregate
principal amount of EUR 2,675,000.00, convertible into up to 2,675,000
shares of the Company's common stock have been placed successfully. The
details of this financing have been announced by way of ad hoc
notifications dated December 3 and December 13, 2013. The issuance of the
convertible bonds will generate gross proceeds of EUR 2,500,000.00.

The Bonds will be convertible into 107,000 shares of Epigenomics' common
stock at any time during their term against payment of a conversion premium
amounting to EUR 521,090.00, equaling a conversion price of EUR 5.87. In
the event of a conversion of all 25 Bonds against payment of the conversion
premium, the Company may generate further gross proceeds of up to EUR
13,027,250.00. Alternatively, after August 1, 2014, each Bond will be
redeemable upon request of the bondholder at its principal amount of EUR
107,000.00. Upon maturity of the Bonds or upon FDA approval of its lead
product Epi proColon(R), on certain conditions, Epigenomics is entitled to
require mandatory conversion. The complete Terms and Conditions are
available on Epigenomics' website under
www.epigenomics.com/en/news-investors/investors/convertible-bonds-2013/con
vertible-bonds-2013.html

Epigenomics expects that the gross proceeds from the issuance of the Bonds
will contribute to securing the funding of the operating business beyond
the FDA approval of the Company's lead product, Epi proColon(R), a
blood-based test for the detection of colorectal cancer. Among others,
Epigenomics, hereby, intends to fund preparatory activities for the test's
introduction onto the U.S.-American market.
