mondoBIOTECH holding AG: the extraordinary shareholders'<br />
meeting approves all of the Board of Directors’ proposals<br />
Stans, 15 January 2010. The shareholders of mondoBIOTECH holding AG have<br />
unanimously approved two amendments to the Company's articles of<br />
incorporation at today's extraordinary shareholders' meeting, one relating to<br />
the usage of conditional share capital, and the other required due to the entry<br />
into force of the new Intermediated Security Act.<br />
Usage of conditional share capital<br />
The shareholders' meeting has approved the amendment to the articles of<br />
incorporation regarding the usage of the Company's existing conditional<br />
share capital. The amended art. 3b para. 2 of the articles of incorporation<br />
now creates the possibility to grant option rights to existing and/or new<br />
shareholders in connection with future capital increases which shall be<br />
covered by the Company's al<strong>read</strong>y existing conditional share capital. This<br />
amendment provides the Board of Directors with more flexibility in the<br />
procurement of capital. The first issuance of option rights pursuant to the<br />
amendment approved today is expected to be conducted in conjunction with<br />
the rights offering planned for the end of January 2010 (see also press<br />
release of yesterday, 14 January 2010).<br />
Form of the shares<br />
The shareholders' meeting approved a second amendment to the articles of<br />
incorporation. Art. 4 of the articles of incorporation relating to the form of<br />
the shares has been amended to comply with the new Swiss Intermediated<br />
Security Act which entered into force on 1 January 2010.<br />
"We thank all our shareholders for their confidence in the Board of Directors<br />
and in the Company" said Fabio Cavalli, CEO and member of the Board of<br />
Directors of mondoBIOTECH holding AG.<br />
