PRESS RELEASE

Dreieich, 4 October 2020. Bloomberg reported on 2 October 2020 that, according to informed circles, a private equity firm had approached the Chinese Creat Group Corp. to acquire a stake in Biotest AG. The consultations are at an early stage and there is no certainty that they will lead to a transaction.

The company believes that this is pure market speculation.

Such rumours and speculations are not new and are known to Biotest. The Management Board has therefore recently asked for a statement from the major shareholder on the plans with regard to the stake in the company. In a written communication to the Company, Creat Group Corp. has stated that no sale process has been initiated to date, nor has any decision been made regarding a future sale. The decision process regarding the future of the majority stake in Biotest AG is completely open, so that rumours of a sale are pure speculation.

Biotest AG will continue to inform the capital market and the public in accordance with the legal requirements.
