Berlin, Germany, October 27, 2013 - Epigenomics AG (ISIN: DE000A1K0516)
announces that BioChain and certain of its shareholders will invest US$ 1.3
million (EUR 0.94 million) into the Company by subscribing 217,935 newly
issued shares. This investment follows the signing of an agreement
regarding a broad strategic collaboration of both companies announced
today. Executive Board and Supervisory Board of Epigenomics today approved
the increase of the share capital of the company from authorized capital
against contribution in cash. The issue price has been set at EUR 4.32 per
