Polyphor announces listing of new shares related to the convertible loan
facility agreement with the Wellcome Trust
 

Polyphor today announced that 15'758 new registered shares issued from the

Polyphor and the Wellcome Trust entered into an amendment agreement to the
convertible loan facility agreement made available to Polyphor by the Wellcome
Trust. In this amendment agreement the Wellcome Trust exercised its right to
convert the outstanding loan amount in full immediately prior to the completion
of the listing of Polyphor's shares. These shares have a lock-up period ending
one year after the first day of trading.
