Medivir's Series A Shares to be Converted Into Series B Shares

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 2, 2018

Following the conversion, there will no longer be any series A shares outstanding in Medivir. The total number of shares in Medivir will not be affected, but all outstanding shares will be series B shares. Since each series A share carries ten votes and each series B share one vote, the conversion of the series A shares (in total 474,769) will imply that the total number of votes in Medivir decreases from 24,591,898 to 20,318,977. Since the respective voting power of the largest holders of series A shares (Bo Öberg and Nils Gunnar Johansson) falls below the five percent threshold, they will make a separate notification (flagging) thereof.

The holders of series A shares Bo Öberg and Nils Gunnar Johansson comment:

"The strong voting power of series A shares has been important for a relatively long period of time to give Medivir stability. Medivir is now in the fortunate position of having a very strong clinical portfolio and an impressive creation of new patents in oncology. Therefore, the series A shares are no longer needed."
