Corporate Governance prize awarded by AGEFI: Onxeo receives “Silver Governance”


PARIS & COPENHAGEN, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE (http://www.businesswire.com/))--
Regulatory News:

Onxeo S.A. (Paris:ONXEO) (NASDAQ OMX:ONXEO) (Euronext Paris, NASDAQ OMX
Copenhagen: ONXEO), an innovative biopharmaceutical company specialized in the
development of orphan oncology drugs, was awarded the Silver Governance in the
Corporate Governance Prize (for midcap companies) category at the Eleventh
Annual Awards, held by the French economic and financial magazine AGEFI on
September 24, 2014.

Corporate Governance Prizes reward listed companies with the best corporate
governance practices - in particular as regards to the composition of the
companies’ board of directors, transparency of communication, functioning of
corporate bodies, social responsibility, and risk management. The awards are
based on the results of a survey of finance industry professionals. The
methodology is validated by a steering committee which identifies the companies’
good practices based on data provided in the annual report and reference
document.

For several years now, Onxeo has optimized its governance practices: the company
refers to the corporate governance code established by MiddleNext*. Its Board of
Directors is mostly composed of independent members, who are very committed
alongside the Management, and is governed by internal regulation; a code of
conduct has been implemented. The Company strives to communicate regularly and
precisely on its programs, achievements and accounts.

These elements, rewarded by the financial community through this “Silver
Governance” and decisive in strengthening confidence from shareholders and share
markets, come in addition to high-standard quality applied to all company’s
activities, in particular in R&D.

“We are very proud and happy to be awarded with this prize which confirms the
excellence of our governance, with efficient committees, processes, and
regulations, all key components to carry out our mission and achieve our goals
to create value. This prize, which places Onxeo alongside world-class companies
such as Boiron and Guerbet, reflects our ambition in the area of orphan oncology
drugs”, comments Patrick Langlois, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Onxeo.

*MiddleNext is an independent French association representing listed SMEs and
midcaps
