Planegg-Martinsried, Germany - Formycon AG (FSE: FYB, 'Formycon') held its
Annual General Meeting on 12 June 2024 as an in-person event in Munich. In
its presentation, the Management Board provided shareholders with a detailed
report on the company's development and answered all questions in the
general debate. Dr Olaf Stiller, long-standing Chairman of the Supervisory
Board, chaired the Annual General Meeting for the last time and was bid
farewell with great appreciation for his successful collaboration.

The represented shareholders followed the proposals of the Management Board
and Supervisory Board and approved all of the Executive Board's proposed
resolution resolutions with large majorities. Both the members of the
Management Board and the Supervisory Board were given a formal approval of
their actions with majorities of over 96 per cent in each case.

In order to reflect a more international focus and expanded industry and
financial expertise on the Supervisory Board in future, new and independent

increase the size of the Supervisory Board from four to five members. Dr
Bodo Coldewey, Managing Director of WEGA Invest GmbH, the Wendeln family
office, and Nicholas Haggar, currently CEO of healthqube Ltd. and a

with effect from the end of the Annual General Meeting. Colin Bond,
currently still CFO of Sandoz Group AG, was also elected to the expanded
Supervisory Board by a large majority with effect from 1 October 2024. The
Supervisory Board was constituted immediately after the Annual General
Meeting and elected Wolfgang Essler as the new Chairman and Nicholas Haggar
as Deputy Chairman.

Wolfgang Essler, chief representative of the main shareholder ATHOS KG and
new Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Formycon AG, commented: 'I am very
honoured to have been elected Chairman of the Supervisory Board and by the
trust placed in me. I would first like to welcome Bodo, Colin and Nick as
new members of the Supervisory Board of Formycon AG and look forward to
continuing the good and constructive cooperation with my colleagues on the
Supervisory Board and the Formycon Management Board. The global market for
biosimilars will see strong growth in the coming years and Formycon is
excellently positioned to play a decisive role in shaping this development.
On behalf of the entire organisation, special thanks go to Dr Olaf Stiller
and Peter Wendeln, who have been instrumental in shaping Formycon's very

About Biosimilars:
Since their introduction in the 1980s, biopharmaceutical drugs have
revolutionized the treatment of serious and chronic diseases. By 2032, many
of these drugs will lose their patent protection - including 45 blockbusters
with an estimated total annual global turnover of more than 200 billion US
dollars. Biosimilars are successor products to biopharmaceutical drugs for
which market exclusivity has expired. They are approved in highly regulated
markets such as the EU, the USA, Canada, Japan and Australia in accordance
with strict regulatory procedures. Biosimilars create competition and thus
give more patients access to biopharmaceutical therapies. At the same time,
they reduce costs for healthcare providers. Global sales of biosimilars
currently amount to around 21 billion US dollars. Analysts assume that sales
could rise to over 74 billion US dollars by 2030.
