AGM Statement

Alliance Pharma plc (AIM: APH), the specialty pharmaceutical company, will hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") in London later this morning. At the meeting, the Company's Chairman, Andrew Smith, will make the following statement:

"The year is proceeding well for the Company as we continue to develop our pan-European business.

"Trading in the current financial year is good and in line with the Board's expectations. Our key international growth brands, Kelo-Cote(TM), for scar reduction, and MacuShield(TM), a nutritional supplement product for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), continue to deliver a strong performance.

"We continue to expect that the UK registration approval for Diclectin, for the treatment for nausea and vomiting of pregnancy, will be granted in Q3 2017, which will enable us to begin commercial sales around the end of 2017 with sales in European territories following approximately 12 months later.

"Cash flow in the business remains strong and we are on target to reduce our adjusted net debt/EBITDA ratio to around 2x by the end of the year.

"We look forward to the year ahead with much confidence."
