PTA-Adhoc: Biofrontera AG: Biofrontera AG will terminate its U.S. ADS program

Public disclosure of inside information according to article 17 MAR

Leverkusen, Germany (pta047/02.06.2022/19:55) - Biofrontera AG (the "Company") (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: B8F, US-OTC: BFAGY), an international biopharmaceutical company, announces that the Management Board and the Supervisory Board have decided to terminate the existing Level 1 program for its American Depositary Shares (ADSs).

Biofrontera delisted its ADSs from the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") effective in early March 2022 and, in parallel, filed the paperwork to terminate its registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") which is expected to take effect on or about June 7, 2022. The primary intent of the delisting was to reduce financial reporting complexity and administrative costs. Since then, ADSs have been tradable through a Level I program on the U.S. over-the-counter (OTC) market under the symbol BFAGY. One ADS represents the right to two ordinary shares of Biofrontera AG.

Biofrontera will direct The Bank of New York Mellon ("BNY Mellon"), as depositary, to terminate the ADS Level I program. BNY Mellon will provide at least 90 days' notice of termination to all ADS holders. Prior to termination of the deposit agreement, ADS holders may choose to either a) surrender their ADSs to BNY Mellon for cancellation, and upon payment of applicable fees, receive ordinary shares of Biofrontera AG or b) sell their ADSs on the OTC market. Following the termination of the deposit agreement, BNY Mellon will discontinue the registration of transfers of the ADSs. Any ordinary shares remaining on deposit with BNY Mellon following the termination of the deposit agreement, will be sold by BNY Mellon as soon as practicable, in accordance with the instructions of the Company, and, the proceeds of such sales will be held in a segregated account in trust for the benefit of ADS holders until all such ordinary shares have been sold. After all such shares have been sold, the proceeds of such sales will be paid out (net of fees) to any remaining holders of ADSs on a pro rata basis. At present, it is not possible to reliably predict whether, and to which extend such sales will have an effect .
