The information contained in this Presentation has been provided by va-Q-tec AG (the "Company" and, together with its shareholders, subsidiaries and associated companies, the "Group") and has not been verified independently. Unless otherwise stated, the Company is the source of the information contained herein. For the purposes of this notice, the Presentation includes this document, its contents or any part of it and any related video or oral presentation, any question or answer session and any written or oral material discussed or distributed during the presentation meeting.

Presentations are by their nature abbreviated information and cannot substitute for narrative information. In addition, the information herein is preliminary and is not comprehensive. Consistent with its purpose, this Presentation does not include all information that is material to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses as well as risks and opportunities of the Company.

This Presentation does not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as an offer or invitation or recommendation to, purchase or sell or subscribe for, or as any solicitation of any offer to purchase or subscribe for, any securities of the Company, in any jurisdiction. Neither this Presentation, nor any part thereof nor anything contained or referred to therein, nor the fact of its distribution, should form the basis of or be relied on in connection with, or serve as an inducement in relation to, a decision to purchase or subscribe for or enter into any contract or make any other commitment whatsoever in relation to any such securities.

No reliance may be placed for any purpose whatsoever on the information or opinions contained in the Presentation or on its completeness, accuracy or fairness. Neither the Company, the remainder of its Group nor its shareholders, any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents accepts any responsibility or liability whatsoever for or makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the information or opinions in the Presentation (or whether any information has been omitted from the Presentation) or any other information relating to the Group, whether written, oral or in a visual or electronic form, and howsoever transmitted or made available or for any loss howsoever arising from any use of the Presentation or its contents or otherwise arising in connection therewith. In particular, no representation or warranty is given as to the likelihood of achievement or reasonableness of, and no reliance should be placed on, any projections, targets, ambitions, estimates or forecasts contained in this Presentation, and nothing in this Presentation is or should be relied on as a promise or representation as to the future. No statement in this Presentation is intended as a profit forecast or a profit estimate and no statement in this Presentation or any related materials should be interpreted to mean that earnings per share for the future or current financial periods would necessarily match or exceed historical published earning per share.

This Presentation contains forward-looking statements based on the currently held beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company, which are expressed in good faith and, in their opinion, are reasonable. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, financial condition, performance, or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to differ materially from the results, financial condition, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the Company's ability to control or estimate precisely, such as future market conditions, currency fluctuations, the behaviour of other market participants, the actions of regulators and other factors such as the Company's ability to continue to obtain financing to meet its liquidity needs, changes in the political, social and regulatory framework in which the Group operates or in economic or technological trends or conditions. Given these risks, uncertainties and other factors, recipients of this document are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. It is up to the recipient of the Presentation to make its own assessment as to the validity of such forward-looking statements and assumptions.

All information in this Presentation is current at the time of publication but may be subject to change in the future. The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any statements, in particular forward-looking statements, to reflect future events or developments.

To the extent available, the industry and market data contained in the Presentation has come from official or third party sources. Third party industry publications, studies and surveys generally state that the data contained therein have been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that there is no guarantee of the accuracy or completeness of such data. While the Company reasonably believes that each of these publications, studies and surveys has been prepared by a reputable source, the data contained therein has not been independently verified by the Company or anyone else. In addition, certain of the industry and market data contained in the Presentation come from the Company's own internal research and estimates based on the knowledge and experience of the Company's management in the market in which the Company operates. While the Company believes that such research and estimates are reasonable and reliable, they, and their underlying methodology and assumptions, have not been verified by any independent source for accuracy or completeness and are subject to change. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on any of the industry or market data contained in the Presentation.

Statements contained in this Presentation regarding past events or performance should not be taken as a guarantee of future events or performance.
