The Board of Directors of ChronTech has on September 27 2010, based on
the authorization by the AGM, resolved to carry out a rights issue with
a maximum of 47,433,752 shares. In the rights issue 11,069,302 shares
were subscribed for and raised approx. 5.5 MSEK before transaction
costs.

21.5 %, 10,201,910 shares, have been subscribed for by using first
rights. 1.8 %, 867,392 shares, have been subscribed for without rights.

The Board of Directors of ChronTech has resolved to convene an EGM to be
held on 7 January 2011 at 2.30 pm. The Board proposes that the EGM
authorizes the Board to resolve a new issue of shares, warrants and/or
convertible debentures and with or without preferential rights for the
shareholders. The purpose with the authorization is to enable ChronTech
to raise funds corresponding to the part of the recently completed
rights issue that was not subscribed.

The notice of the EGM will be published soon.

”We had hoped to be able to get the new investors on board already in
the rights offering before Christmas, but with confidence we now look
forward to welcome new capital strong owners in ChronTech in the
beginning of the new year” says Anders Vahlne, ChronTech Pharma's CEO.
