Update on strategic review of Fornix

Since the divestment by Fornix BioSciences N.V. (Fornix) of its Allergy Division as approved on the extra-ordinary general meeting of shareholders held on 29 June 2010, Fornix has been exploring various strategic options for the future direction of the company in the interest of all its stakeholders.

Fornix has explored and researched the possibility of the expansion of its Medical Aids division as previously communicated and has concluded that this option is not preferable in a public company environment. Fornix has therefore initiated a process to divest its Medical Aids division (Laprolan) as well as its German division (Artu Biologicals).

In parallel the boards are researching the strategic option of a reverse merger or takeover of Fornix, with a preference to seeking a candidate in the healthcare sector. The boards consider this as the preferred option for all of Fornix's stakeholders based on Fornix's sound legacy as a public entity and its favourable cash position. A thorough analysis of this option has taken longer than initially anticipated, whilst progress has been made.

In the event this option is not realizable in an acceptable timeframe the logical consequences of this review will lead to a liquidation and possible de-listing of Fornix from the Euronext Amsterdam exchange. In addition to working on these options, the boards are also working on reducing the overhead costs of Fornix significantly whilst not compromising governance and continuity.
