Berlin, Germany, March 20, 2013 - MagForce AG (Frankfurt, XETRA: MF6), a leading
medical device company in the field of nanomedicine with focus on oncology,

cash and non-cash contributions including preemptive rights in the total amount
of ?33.5 million. In total, 18,606,553 new no-par value bearer shares have been
subscribed. Thereof 9,750,846 new shares have been subscribed against cash and
8,855,707 new shares have been subscribed against a contribution in kind, namely
converting ?15.9 million shareholder loans into equity. As a result, MagForce is
debt-free and has ?17.6 million cash on hand to drive the company through the
next inflection points.
Prof. Hoda Tawfik, COO and co-CEO of MagForce AG, commented: "With this capital
increase, Magforce is entering a new phase. With the successful capital increase
we have set the preconditions for establishing the NanoTherm® Therapy in the
medical community and for achieving the validation of the clinical data in
Europe as well as for approaching filing for approval in the USA with the FDA.
This will be achieved substantially via the anounced post-marketing clinical
trial with glioblastoma patients. Additionally, we will further develop the
NanoTherm® Therapy in other oncology indications e.g. prostate cancer, the
second most frequently diagnosed cancer of men and the fifth most common cancer
overall." Christian von Volkmann, CFO and co-CEO of MagForce AG, added: "The
successful capital increase with considerable size shows the trust and
confidence international institutional investors put into the MagForce
technology and the MagForce team. The company now has secured sufficient funding
from renowned international investors to reach the next inflection points and is
well prepared for a time of dynamic growth."
