Company also Postpones Reporting of Fiscal Year 2012 Financial Results
and Provides Updated Cash Reach Guidance
Planegg/Munich (Germany) and Princeton, NJ, March 26, 2013 - The Management
Board of Agennix AG (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: AGX) with the concurrence of the
Supervisory Board, today provides notification of a cumulative loss of more than
half of the nominal share capital of the Company. This loss is mainly
attributable to the full impairment of the intellectual property related to
talactoferrin. The Management Board is actively discussing with the Supervisory
Board different options for the Company.
Pursuant to Sec. 92 par. 1 German Stock Corporation Act ("Aktiengesetz"), a loss
amounting to half of the nominal share capital triggers the statutory obligation
to summon a shareholders' meeting. Agennix will announce the date of such
meeting and provide an invitation to the meeting in the near future. In this
meeting, the Management Board will report on the loss of more than half of the
nominal share capital and discuss the situation of the Company.
Agennix also announces that it will postpone the filing of its fiscal year 2012
financial results, previously scheduled to be published on March 28, 2013. The
Company will provide an updated reporting date as soon as possible.
Furthermore, Agennix today provided an update on projected cash reach,
indicating that the Company currently expects to have sufficient cash to fund
ongoing operations into June 2013. This is an update from earlier guidance
indicating that the Company expected to be able to fund operations only into the
first quarter of this year.
