The Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company, acknowledging the Board of Directors' reports, resolved to delegate to the Board of Directors, pursuant to Article 2443 of the Italian Civil Code, the power to increase the share capital, in one or several tranches, within 24 months, by cash and in divisible way, with the exclusion of the pre-emption right pursuant to Article 2441, paragraph 4, second part, of the Italian Civil Code, by the issue of a number of ordinary shares, with no par value, not exceeding the 10% of the overall number of shares representing MolMed's share capital of as of the date of the exercise of the delegated powers.

The proceeds of the possible capital increase will be used - as already disclosed to the public - for the clinical development of the most advanced proprietary products, the new pipeline development (recently enriched with CAR therapies both autologous as well as allogeneic), to maintain a high standard of facilities as well as, more generally, for the needs of the Company's business.
