Berlin, 1 October 2018 - The Management Board of Elanix Biotechnologies AG ("the Company") announces the completion of the capital increase as resolved on July 24, 2018. Totally 301,763 shares were placed at a subscription price of EUR 2.75 resulting in gross proceeds of EUR 829,848. Thus, the full capital increase potential could not be used due to the share price development over the last weeks and due to rather unfavorable timing for capital increases during summer months. As a result of the cash capital increase, the share capital of Elanix will increase to a total of 8,080,902 shares. The 301,763 new shares will be tradable within a few days. Among other things, the gross proceeds of the capital increase will be used to finance the company's growth strategy and especially for the market launch of new Advanced Skin Care products.
 
The Company is currently negotiating further financing opportunities to strengthen the business activities by enlarging the product portfolio, by enlarging the distribution and sales network, by running a dynamic e-commerce campaign of the Elanix Advanced Care products, and by further investments in the development and industrialization of the Advanced Wound Care products.
