PRESS RELEASE

Elanix Biotechnologies AG Announces Subscription Period and Subsequent Private Placement to Commence on November 23, 2017

Berlin, 22. November 2017 - Elanix Biotechnologies AG ("Elanix"; "Company"), a developer of tissue regeneration products and specialty cosmetics in the field of dermatology and gynecology, announced today that the subscription period for its planned capital increase will begin as announced on 23 November 2017. During the subscription period, which lasts until 7 December 2017, shareholders, by way of their depository bank, may exercise their subscription rights (ISIN DE000A2GSU83) and can subscribe to new shares of the Company at a ratio of 4:1 (four existing shares allow a subscription of one new share) at a price of EUR 3.75 per new share. In keeping with the resolution passed at the Annual General Meeting of 24 August 2017, a discount of 10% is granted on the average share price (EUR 4.19) of the last five days of trading before fixing the final issue price.

In addition, shareholders can register for a so-called "oversubscription" through their depository bank but will not automatically be guaranteed an allotment of shares. Any shares not purchased within the pre-emptive rights offer will be offered to selected investors in the form of a private placement. The price for the private placement is yet to be set by the Company and will be above the rights offering price level. Up to 1,699,800 new shares can be offered by the Company as part of the capital increase.

The pre-emptive rights offer and prospectus are available on the company website at https://elanixbiotechnologies.com/ under Capital Increase in the Investor Relations section.

Tomas Svoboda, CEO of Elanix Biotechnologies AG commented: "We have made excellent progress in the first ten months of 2017. In addition to expanding our team in sales and product management, Elanix has received regulatory approval and initiated the EU market launch of the CFPC (cell-free protein complex) cream GynRepair(R), as well as developed a user app and an online shop. The market launch of the product SKINrepair(R), which can be applied to wounds on the entire body, is being prepared for launch in various EU countries in the first half of 2018. We intend to use the funds raised from the capital increase to finance the next stages of our company development and our commercialisation strategy, as well as to stimulate sales in Europe. We have already taken a vital step in this direction by establishing our offices in Wiesbaden, creating a German subsidiary."
