Berlin, October 31, 2011 - MagForce AG (FSE:MF6), a leading medical technology
company focusing on nanomedicine in oncology, announced today the resignation of
Prof. Dr. Walter Rust as chairman of the Supervisory Board as of October
25, 2011 due to health reasons. Effective October 28, 2011, Dr. Peter Heinrich
stepped down from his position as MagForce CEO and is expected, at a future
date, to return to his previous role as a member of the MagForce Supervisory
Board. Until further appointments are confirmed, Dr. Andreas Jordan will
represent the Management Board with the support of Prof. Dr. Hoda Tawfik, VP
Clinical Development & Medical Affairs, and Solveig Salomon, VP Marketing &
Sales.
Dr. Peter Heinrich said, "When I assumed the position of Magforce CEO, my
primary goal was to build professional structures within the company by putting
together a team of highly qualified and motivated individuals. This goal has
been achieved along with the approval and launch of NanoTherm therapy in the EU
and treatment of the first patient with the novel therapy. I would now like to
step back from daily operational activities and, in the future, further support
the company's growth and development as a member of the Supervisory Board."
