SYGNIS AG plans rights offering

Heidelberg, Germany, October 2, 2013 - SYGNIS AG (Frankfurt: LIO1; ISIN:
DE000A1RFM03, Prime Standard) announced that the Management Board of SYGNIS
today resolved with the approval of the Supervisory Board to increase the
Company's share capital by up to EUR 1,170,532.00 from EUR 9,364,258.00 to
up to EUR 10,534,790.00 by issuing up to 1,170,532 new shares against cash
contribution. The Company plans to offer the new shares to its shareholders
in a rights offering. The subscription ratio has been set at 8:1; i.e.
eight existing shares entitle the shareholder to subscribe for one new
share. The subscription price is EUR 2.65 per share.

The offering will utilise existing authorised capital created by resolution
at the Annual General Meeting on 28 August 2013. The New Shares carry full
dividend rights as of 1 January 2013.

New shares that are not subscribed in the course of the rights offering by
existing shareholders will be offered to selected investors in a private
placement at a purchase price equivalent to the subscription price.

Shareholders may subscribe to the new shares during the subscription
period, which is expected to begin on 8 October 2013 and end on 22 October
2013 at 12:00 noon CEST. There will be no organised trading in subscription
rights. The new shares that can be subscribed in return for cash
contributions are offered to shareholders by way of an indirect
subscription right by Baader Bank Aktiengesellschaft, Unterschleissheim,
Germany. Shareholders' subscription rights are determined based on their
holdings of existing shares at the close of business of the day, 7 October
2013.

SYGNIS plans to use the gross proceeds of approximately up to EUR 3.1
million to finance its operating business and further growth.

For further details on the rights issue, please see the subscription offer
provisionally planned to be published in the electronic Federal Gazette on
7 October 2013 and on the website of SYGNIS AG (www.sygnis.com).
