Result of General Meeting and Issue of Equity

On 10 March 2015, Allergy Therapeutics, the fully integrated specialty pharmaceutical company specialising in allergy vaccines, announced plans to raise GBP20.0 million (after expenses) through the issue of 94,117,650 new ordinary shares in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") at 22.1 pence per share (the "Placing"). The Placing is conditional upon, among other things, shareholder approval and admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM becoming effective. The Company is pleased to announce that, at a general meeting of its shareholders today, the resolutions required to authorise the issue of the Placing Shares and the disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights in relation thereto were passed. The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued credited as fully paid and will be identical to and rank parri passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares").

The 4,042,489 convertible loan notes which were issued pursuant to a convertible loan note instrument executed by the Company on 30 March 2012, as amended, and which are held by CFR International SpA (as detailed in a circular published by the Company on 30 March 2012(1) ) will be converted into 41,674,938 new Ordinary Shares (the "Conversion Shares") at 9.7 pence per share on 31 March 2015 in accordance with their terms. The Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued conditional upon their admission to trading on AIM becoming effective, credited as fully paid and will be identical to and rank parri passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.

An application has been made to the London Stock Exchange plc for the Placing Shares and the Conversion Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and it is expected that admission will become effective in respect of, and that dealings on AIM will commence in, the Placing Shares and the Conversion Shares at 8.00 a.m. on 1 April 2015.

Allergy Therapeutics' enlarged issued ordinary share capital immediately following the admission of the Placing Shares and the Conversion Shares will consist of 545,847,919 Ordinary Shares with voting rights attached (one vote per Ordinary Share). The Company has no shares in Treasury; therefore the total number of voting rights in Allergy Therapeutics is 545,847,919. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interests in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
