Heidelberg (euro adhoc) - Planegg/Munich (Germany), Princeton, NJ and
Houston, TX, March 4, 2011 - Agennix AG (Frankfurt Stock Exchange:

Board.

Friedrich von Bohlen und Halbach´s term as interim Chief Executive

Management Board.

Dr. Hombeck said, "On behalf of all of us at Agennix, I would like to
warmly thank Dr. von Bohlen for serving as CEO during the formation
and integration of the Company. His leadership and experience during
this critical time have been very helpful."

The Company also reported changes to its Supervisory Board. Dr.
Juergen Drews has informed the Company that he is resigning from the
Board. As previously provided for at the time of the closing of the
merger of GPC Biotech into Agennix AG in November 2009, Dr. von
Bohlen will be filling this seat.

Dr. von Bohlen said: "I am pleased to know that the leadership of
Agennix is in the capable hands of Dr. Hombeck and Dr. Malik, who
have demonstrated their strong management skills over the past year
in advancing the business. I look forward to continuing to serve the
Company as a member of the Supervisory Board."

The Company also reported that, effective February 14, 2011, Alan
Feinsilver filled the Supervisory Board seat opened by the
resignation of Dr. Robert van Leen, which was announced in November
2010. Mr. Feinsilver had previously been named as a replacement
member for Dr. van Leen at the time of the closing of the merger. Mr.
Feinsilver is the owner and President of The Overbrook Company, a
private investment company. He is also the Managing Director of
Centerline Manufacturing Ltd., a private company which produces
specialty parts for the energy industry. He has served on the Board
of Directors of several U.S. firms, including as Chairman of the
Audit Committee for two publicly listed companies. Mr. Feinsilver is
a Certified Public Accountant and an attorney. He holds a Bachelors
degree in Business Administration from the University of Texas and a
Juris doctor degree from the University of Texas School of Law.

"I would like to sincerely thank Dr. Drews and Dr. van Leen for their
service and greatly appreciate their counsel," said Dr. Christof
Hettich, Chairman of the Supervisory Board. "I am very pleased to
welcome Mr. Feinsilver, as well as my colleague, Dr. von Bohlen, to
the Board. Mr. Feinsilver has extensive business experience in both
public and private firms, including financial expertise that will be
invaluable to the Company and Board."
