Major MOLOGEN shareholder increases investment

Absolute Capital Management crosses 10-percent threshold

MOLOGEN AG (ISIN DE0006637200) announces that the investment company Absolute Capital Management has increased its investment in MOLOGEN AG to more than 10 percent. Absolute Capital Management now holds 15.6 percent of MOLOGEN's shares. The investment company is headed by Florian Homm.

"MOLOGEN technologies stand for the long-term potential of investments in the markets of tumor-specific therapy and of combating infections," comments Florian Homm the share increase. "With further good progress in the development and subsequent marketing of the products resulting from these technologies, many people will benefit from the prevention and therapy of life-threatening diseases. To me, our share increase therefore is a long-term investment that is guided less by a focus on the current financial figures than by our expectance of future added value. We are convinced that the capital market underestimates the company's medium-term potential with its current company value of 80 million Euro. Thus, the American competitor Coley Pharmaceutical Group has a market value that is four times higher than MOLOGEN's," Homm explains.
