Hennigsdorf, 29 October 2015 – In the course of the ongoing capital increase of Deutsche Biotech Innovative AG (“DBI AG”) private investors can now for the first time subscribe for the company's shares. After expiry of the subscription period for existing shareholders on 28 October, the subscription period for private investors is expected to run until and including 11 November 2015.


In the context of the public offering of up to 596,400 new shares, DBI AG aims to raise proceeds of up to 20 million euro. By stating the ISIN DE000A0Z25L1 or the Securities Identification No. (WKN) A0Z25L, interested investors can subscribe new shares of DBI AG at a price of 33.50 euro through their local or custodian bank, the order function of several online banks as well as the subscribtion through the subscription platform of Wertpapierhandelsbank SCHNIGGE AG www.zeichnungsplattform.de .


DBI AG, whose shares are already listed on the Primary Market of the Düsseldorf Stock Exchange, aims at a dual listing on the Entry Standard of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.


Financing of the attractive product pipeline

DBI AG plans to use the net proceeds from the capital increase for the further financing of the preclinical and clinical development of its three current drug candidates in the indications of sepsis and cancer and a diagnostic agent for the early diagnosis of urinary tract infections. In case of the full placement, the funds are expected to suffice until the first sale of an active agent to a pharmaceutical company and thus until the first proceeds from the DBI AG pipeline. This first exit is expected to be realized in 2018/2019. DBI AG’s business model foresees for the drugs to be sold or out-licensed whilst they are still being clinically developed, typically during or after a phase II trial.

 

The lead product is the patented drug Adrecizumab to reduce mortality by organic failure in septic shock. Although each year approximately 8 million people die of it, there is currently no approved drug worldwide. Adrecizumab has successfully passed the preclinical phase and will be tested in a Phase I trial as from the end of 2015.
