Capital Increase; Supscription Price

15.09.2010

Planegg/Munich (Germany), September 15, 2010 - Agennix AG (Frankfurt
Stock Exchange (Prime Standard): AGX/ISIN DE000A1A6XX4) today
announced that its Management Board has resolved, with the approval
of the Supervisory Board, to set the subscription price for a rights
offering and related private placement of unsubscribed shares at EUR
3.81 per share, which represents approximately a 10% discount to the
September 14, 2010 XETRA closing price of EUR 4.23 per Agennix AG
share on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Agennix's Management Board and Supervisory Board have made their
decision on the basis of the authorization granted to them by the
Company's annual general meeting on May 25, 2010 to increase the
Company's share capital by up to 20,588,705 new shares. The Company
is offering up to 20,588,705 newly issued shares in a rights offering
to existing shareholders entitled to participate in the rights
offering at a subscription ratio of 1:1. Shares are being offered in
a public offering in Germany and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
Shares not subscribed in the rights offering will be offered in
private placements to institutional investors outside those two
countries.

In support of the planned capital increase, dievini Hopp BioTech
holding GmbH & Co. KG (dievini), a major shareholder of Agennix AG,
has entered into a firm commitment agreement with the Joint Global
Coordinators, Piper Jaffray Ltd. and WestLB AG, under which dievini
will exercise all its subscription rights with respect to existing
shares held by it and will purchase new shares not subscribed by the
other existing shareholders or which are not placed with new
investors as part of the private placement. Dievini has committed to
invest up to EUR 80 million.

Dievini has informed the Company that it has applied on behalf of
itself, Dietmar Hopp and other persons and legal entities whose
ownership of shares is attributed to Dietmar Hopp to the German
Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt fuer
Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) (BaFin) for the granting of an
exemption from the obligation to make a mandatory tender offer in
case it acquires new shares pursuant to the firm commitment agreement
or new shares are attributed to dievini pursuant to Section 30 of the
German Takeover Act and dievini thereby acquires control of the
Company in the meaning of Section29 (2) of the German Takeover Act.
The likelihood of receiving such exemption as well as the timing of
any such decision by BaFin remains uncertain.

Furthermore, dievini and certain shareholders deriving their
ownership from Gordon A. Cain, a co-founder of Agennix Incorporated
(the Cain Shareholders), have agreed that, subject to certain limited
exceptions, they will not, during a period ending six months after
the first trading of the new shares, sell any share of the Company or
enter into any transaction or perform any action with equivalent
economic effect.

The Cain Shareholders, which together hold approximately 23% of the
Company's shares, have also entered into an agreement pursuant to
which each Cain Shareholder has undertaken not to exercise its
subscription rights and upon request will transfer its subscription
rights free of charge to parties identified by the banks implementing
the capital increase.

The offer and subscription price for the transaction will be EUR 3.81
per share. The subscription period is expected to begin on September
17, 2010 and end on September 30, 2010. The new shares are expected
to start trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on or about October
5, 2010.

The prospectus for this offering is expected to be approved by the
BaFin on September 15, 2010 and will be available on the Company's
website, {www.agennix.com}[HYPERLINK: http://www.agennix.com], and in
hard copy from Agennix AG, Fraunhoferstrasse 20, 82152 Planegg,
Germany, as well as at the offices of the Joint Global Coordinators,
Piper Jaffray Ltd., One South Place, London EC2M 2RB, United Kingdom
and WestLB AG, Herzogstrasse 15, 40217 Duesseldorf, Germany.
