Biofrontera AG: Supervisory Board of Biofrontera AG appoints Paul Böckmann to the Management Board

Leverkusen; Germany (pta029/09.06.2022/18:10 UTC+2)

Biofrontera AG (ISIN: DE0006046113, US-OTC: BAGY), an international biopharmaceutical company, announces that the company's Supervisory Board today appointed Paul Böckmann to the company's Executive Board, initially for a limited time until August 31, 2022.

Mr. Böckmann will support the current sole member of the Executive Board, Ludwig Lutter, as interims manager.

At the end of October 2021, Biofrontera Inc. was listed on the U.S. technology exchange Nasdaq as part of an IPO, thereby giving the former subsidiary of Biofrontera AG access to further growth capital. Since then, Biofrontera Inc. has been able to finance itself independently and thus operate more effectively in the US market. Biofrontera Inc. has been able to raise around USD 55 million in equity capital since the IPO, which may be invested in particular in expanding sales of Ameluz. The aim of Biofrontera AG and Biofrontera Inc. is to increase Ameluz sales in the USA, which would directly benefit Biofrontera AG.

As the Supervisory Board of Biofrontera AG has already informed in its report to the Annual General Meeting for the 2021 financial year, it considers discussions between Biofrontera AG and Biofrontera Inc. on possible further steps of restructuring with the aim of combining the operating businesses in the most effective way.

Paul Böckmann is an independent management consultant and coach specializing in particular in global commercialization strategies, international business expansion and complex international reorganizations. He has worked for various pharmaceutical companies, including CSL Behring AG and Sanochemia, and has specialized in the international commercialization of plasma derivatives since 2016. Since 2021, he has been advising internationally operating plasma companies on product commercialization and reorganization of their business activities with his own consulting company.

In particular, he is to be involved in the above-mentioned dialogues between Biofrontera AG and Biofrontera Inc. to develop appropriate solutions for this process.
