MorphoSys Resolves a Capital Increase to Implement the Offering of 8,300,000 American Depositary Shares (ADS) in the United States

MorphoSys AG (FSE: MOR; Prime Standard Segment, TecDAX; OTC: MPSYY) announced today that its Management Board, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, has resolved to increase the share capital of MorphoSys AG by issuing 2,075,000 new ordinary shares from the authorized capital 2017-II, excluding pre-emptive rights of existing shareholders, to implement the initial public offering in the United States of 8,300,000 American Depositary Shares ('ADSs') pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Furthermore, MorphoSys has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase additional ADSs of up to 15% of the total number of ADSs placed in the offering (i.e. 1,245,000 additional ADSs). Each ADS will represent 1/4 of a MorphoSys ordinary share.

Pricing of the offering is expected to occur on April 18, 2018, following the end of the bookbuilding in the United States.
