        Veloxis Pharmaceuticals A/S establishes a new Warrant Programme



Today, the Board of Directors of Veloxis Pharmaceuticals A/S (the "Company")
has decided to establish a new warrant programme for members of management of
the Company. Thus, the Board of Directors of the Company has today partly
exercised its authorisation pursuant to Section 5A of the Articles of
Association. 

The purpose of the grant of warrants is to reflect the Company's objective to
attract and retain first-rate employees and thus ensure a long-term shareholder
value creation. The grant of warrants shall ensure to create - both in the
short and in the long run - common interests between management and the
shareholders of the Company. 

A total of 20,630,000 warrants are to be awarded, giving the right to
subscription of up to 20,630,000 shares each of DKK 0.1. The exercise price is
fixed at DKK 0.36. 

The warrant holders earn the right to exercise warrants with 1/36 per month as
from the date of grant 23 January 2013. 

After having earned the right to exercise a warrant, the warrant holder may
exercise the warrant in the exercise periods, see below. 

The exercise periods run for 21 days, respectively as from the day following i)
the Company's publication of the announcement of the annual report or - if such
announcement is not published - of the annual report, and ii) the Company's
publication of the interim report and iii) the interim financial report for the
first 3 months and the Company's publication of its financial report for the
first 9 months of the year. Warrants that are not exercised on 23 January 2020
expire automatically. 

The issued warrants are estimated to have a total market value of approx. DKK
3,029,432. The market value of the issued warrants is calculated on basis of
the Black-Scholes model with a volatility calculated as 0.53, an interest level
of 0.28 per cent, and a share price of DKK 0.36.
