Early repayment of EIB loan

Leverkusen, November 03, 2021 - Biofrontera AG (ISIN: DE0006046113) today decided to prematurely repay the loan raised from the European Investment Bank ("EIB").

Biofrontera AG previously announced that its US subsidiary Biofrontera Inc. had completed a successful capital raise by way of an initial public offering in the USA ("IPO").

As a result of the cash inflow for Biofrontera Inc. as well as its thereby achieved independent access to the US capital market, the liquid funds available to Biofrontera AG are used in part to redeem and repay the loan of nominally 15 million Euro granted by the EIB plus interest and other fees.

The total volume of the payment to be made to the EIB amounts to approximately 20 million Euro, whereby the early repayment will reduce future expenses for interest and other fees.
