The proposed resolution to supplement the authorised capital approved by the Annual General Meeting on 7 May 2019 and the corresponding amendment to the Articles of Association to enable the exclusion of subscription rights was also adopted by a majority, but failed to obtain the necessary approval of the preference shareholders. Detailed information on the Annual General Meeting, as well as the Annual General Meeting speech by Dr Michael Ramroth, Chairman of the Board of Biotest AG, is available at: Shareholders’ Meeting 2023 (biotest.com). At the same time as the Annual General Meeting, Biotest published its Q1 2023 report, which is available on the company's website at this link. Biotest AG got off to a good start in the 2023 financial year and was able to increase sales slightly by 1.1% to € 117.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. The sales of Yimmugo® also made a significant contribution to this. EBIT in the first quarter of 2023 amounts to € -9.1 million after € -5.0 million in the same period of the previous year due to higher expenses for the Biotest Next Level project. This is in line with expectations.
