Heidelberg, July 5, 2006 - LION bioscience received today the
information  that two investment-companies of the Hopp family,
DH-Capital GmbH &  Co.  KG  und  OH Beteiligungen GmbH & Co. KG, will
make a voluntary bid to acquire all shares  of LION bioscience AG at
a price of EUR 1.82 per share.
This decision is to be seen before the background  of  the  contract
signed  by LION bioscience AG today to acquire SYGNIS Bioscience mbH
&  Co.  KG,  owned  by the majority of the investment-company of the
Hopp familiy. In this transaction, LION bioscience AG will pay in
shares using the  authorized capital of the company. Furthermore, as
both investment companies of the Hopp family  committed  further
capital inflow into LION bioscience AG, it is to  be  expected  that  they  will
further increase their stake in LION.
