Innocoll AG Proposes Changes to Supervisory
Board and Stock Option Plan
ATHLONE, IRELAND—October
22, 2014—Innocoll AG (Nasdaq: INNL), a global, commercial-stage, specialty pharmaceutical company that develops and manufactures
a range of pharmaceutical products and medical devices using its proprietary collagen-based technologies, today posted to shareholders
a proposal to elect Joseph Wiley, M.D., a principal at Sofinnova Ventures, to its Supervisory Board. The Company also announced
that Anthony H. Wild, Ph.D., has resigned from Innocoll’s Supervisory Board. If Dr. Wiley's election is approved, Innocoll
will have completed the new composition of its new Supervisory Board. In addition, the Supervisory Board is seeking shareholder
support for a stock option plan that will enable it to strengthen and retain the team that will take Innocoll into the commercial
stage of its development.
If elected, Dr. Wiley will join other
recently appointed Supervisory Board members; Jonathan Symonds, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and former chief financial officer
of both Novartis and AstraZeneca, David Brennan, former chief executive officer of AstraZeneca, and Shumeet Banerji, Ph.D., former
chief executive officer of Booz & Company. Existing members of the Supervisory Board who will continue to serve in that capacity
are A. James Culverwell and Rolf Schmidt.
“We have assembled a highly experienced
Supervisory Board comprised of individuals whose corporate and industry expertise is commensurate with the ambitions the Company
has for its collagen based products,” said Jonathan Symonds, Chairman of the Supervisory Board. “I look forward to
working with these experienced executives and the management team as Innocoll moves to transition into a fully integrated specialty
pharmaceutical company.”
Dr. Wiley has over 20 years of experience
in the pharmaceutical, medical and venture capital industries. He was previously a medical director at Astellas Pharma. Prior to
joining Astellas, he held investment roles at Spirit Capital, Inventages Venture Capital and Aberdeen Asset Managers (UK). Dr.
Wiley trained in general medicine at Trinity College Dublin, specializing in neurology. He is also a Member of the Royal College
of Physicians in Ireland.
Innocoll also will be seeking shareholder
approval to reserve up to 10% of its shares outstanding as contingent capital underlying its proposed stock option plan. This plan
will be utilized by Innocoll to continue the build out and strengthening of its organization in preparation for the approval and
commercialization of our key products.
Innocoll successfully completed its
initial public offering of its stock on the Nasdaq Global Market in July, 2014, raising net proceeds of approximately $52.7 million
after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company is urgently
working to take the development of its lead products XaraColl, for the treatment of post-surgical pain and Cogenzia, for the adjuvant
treatment of diabetic foot infections to the next stage. Innocoll has initiated a pivotal pharmacokinetic study for XaraColl and
will conduct Phase 3 efficacy studies once data from the pharmacokinetic study has been generated. The Company will release its
third quarter results and provide a full update on its development plans on November 13, 2014.

I. Agenda
| 1. | Resolution on the authorization to grant subscription rights to members of the management
board and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in the framework of a stock option plan, and creation of contingent capital |
The management and supervisory
board propose to resolve as follows:
| 1.1. | Authorization to grant subscription rights |
The management board is authorized to implement a stock
option program for the Company subject to the following provisions, and to grant options (subscription rights) for up to 150,920
shares in the Company to the grantees, equal to 10% of the outstanding share capital of the Company. To the extent that management
board members shall be granted option rights, the supervisory board is authorized accordingly.
| a) | Content of the option rights |
Each option right shall confer the right to receive
one share in the Company, to be converted into 13,25 American Depositary Shares (“ADS(s)”) of the Company.
Option rights may be granted to members of the management
board and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. The aggregate option rights shall be allocated such that up to 60% may
be granted to members of the management board, up to 30% may be granted to members of the management of the Company’s subsidiaries,
and up to 10% may be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
The shares shall be issued at the exercise price. The
exercise price shall, at the Company’s discretion either be (i) 13,25 times the average closing price of the Company’s
ADS on NASDAQ Global Market on the last 10 trading days immediately preceding the Grant Date or (ii) 13,25 times the price of the
Company’s ADS on the NASDAQ Global Market on the Grant Date (the “Exercise Price”), multiplied by the
number of Option Rights exercised. The Exercise Price must not be lower than one Euro.
Option rights may be granted at any time during the
year to new management board members and (direct and indirect) employees. Options for existing employees and existing management
board members shall be granted each year, during the month of December or during the first quarter of the following year, and shall
be deemed to be granted as of the last trading day on NASDAQ prior to the date of grant.
| e) | Waiting and exercise periods |
One option right shall confer the right to receive one
share once the waiting period for the initial exercise of option rights has expired. The waiting periods shall be four years from
the grant date.
After expiration of the waiting period, option
rights may be exercised wholly or partly within ten years of the grant date.
They can be exercised at any time during the
year, unless there is a Blocking Period as defined below (“Exercise Period”).
Blocking periods (“Blocking
Periods”) shall be
| i. | the period from the end of the seventh Trading Day before, up to
the third Trading Day after, the Company’s general meeting; |
| ii. | the period between the first Trading Day on which the Company has
published an offer to acquire new shares, bonds or option rights, up to the end of the last day of the subscription period for
such offer; and |
| iii. | the period beginning at the opening of trading on the first Trading
Day that is two weeks prior to the end of each quarter and ending at the close of trading on the second Trading Day after the publication
of the quarterly reports of the Company. |
Option Rights may only be exercised if during
the period between the end of the Grant Date of the Option Right and the first day of the relevant Exercise Period, the price of
the Company’s ADS on NASDAQ has risen by a higher percentage than the performance of the MSCI World Index has increased during
the same period.
The relevant factors for the comparison
of the development of both (i) the price of the Company’s ADS on NASDAQ and (ii) the MSCI World Index is the difference
(percentage) between both during the period, starting with the end of the Grant Date (“Starting Value”) until
the Final Value ADS and until the Final Value MSCI World Index as set out hereinafter. The Final Value of the Company’s
ADS is the arithmetic average of the price of the Company’s ADS on NASDAQ during the 20 trading days on NASDAQ, preceding
the first day of the relevant Exercise Period (“Final Value ADS”). The Final Value of the MSCI World Index
is its arithmetic average during the 20 trading days preceding the first day of the relevant Exercise Period (“Final
Value MSCI World Index”).
The stock option plan may provide adaptation rules for
mergers, transformations, capital increases, stock consolidations or splits and further cases. Sec. 9 of the German Stock Corporation
Act (AktG) shall remain unaffected.
| h) | Fulfilment of option rights |
Option rights may be fulfilled at the Company’s
discretion by delivering non-par value shares from the contingent capital proposed for resolution under 1.2 below, or own shares
of the Company.
The management board is authorized to determine the
details regarding the issuance of shares from contingent capital and the further conditions of the stock option plan for the employees
of the Company or its subsidiaries, and for the members of management of subsidiaries. To the extent options are to be granted
to management board members, the supervisory board is authorized accordingly. In each case, in exercising its authority, the management
board or supervisory board, respectively, shall take into account the recommendations of the compensation committee of the supervisory
board.
The Company’s share capital is increased by up
to EUR 150,920.
The contingent capital increase shall exclusively be
made in order to permit the issuance of up to 150,920 non-par value shares registered in the name of the owner with the right to
participate in the Company’s profits from the beginning of the business year in which they are issued, in fulfillment of
option rights for shares in the Company granted to management board members and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries in
the framework of a stock option plan of the Company. The contingent capital increase shall only be implemented to the extent that
the grantees under the stock option plan exercise their right to receive shares in the Company and the Company does not use own
shares to fulfill the option rights.
The following Sec. 4.12 will be inserted in the articles
of association:
The share capital is increased by up to EUR 150,920
(in words: one hundred fifty nine hundred twenty) by issuance of up to 150,920 non-par value shares registered in the name of the
owner, (“Contingent Capital”). The contingent capital increase shall exclusively be made for the purpose of
granting option rights to members of the management board and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries within the framework
of the stock option plan pursuant to the resolution of the general meeting dated 4 December 2014. The contingent capital increase
shall be implemented to the extent that the option rights are exercised by the grantees, and the Company does not use own shares
to fulfill the option rights. The new shares
shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s profits from the beginning
of the business year in which they are issued

option rights.

The Company intends to file a registration statement
with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for the benefit of existing shareholders to allow the conversion of the ordinary
shares of the Company into ADSs at a conversion rate of 13.25 ADSs for every share."
The management board is authorized, with the consent
of the supervisory board, to determine further details of the capital increase and its implementation.
The resolution on the capital increase shall cease to
be effective if the consummation of the capital increase has not been filed with the commercial register by 3 May 2015 at the latest.
| 4.2. | Amendment of the articles |
The supervisory board is authorized to amend Sec. 4,
subs. 1 and 2 of the Company’s articles of association accordingly after the implementation of the capital increase.
The management board has provided
a written report pursuant to Section 186 para. 4 AktG as to the reasons for the exclusion of the subscription rights
of the shareholders. The main content is notified as follows:
The proposed shareholder resolution
and issuance of new shares to certain pre IPO shareholders, excluding the subscription rights of the shareholders, refers to the
terms and conditions of the pre-IPO equity financing in May and June 2014 as set out in the F 1 (pages 57, 142 subseq., 150 subseq.)
(“Pre-IPO Equity Financing”). According to a notarial deed dated 22 May 2014,series E-preferred shares in Innocoll
GmbH were issued at a price of EUR 112.52 per share, providing for an anti-dilution right, such that, in the event of an initial
public offering in which the price per ordinary share equivalent of ADSs is less than 1.2 times the Series E Stated Value (as defined
in the previous version of the articles) per share of EUR 112.52 (the “IPO Premium Requirement”), the shareholders
have agreed to resolve a further capital increase in which the holders of series E-preferred shares (or ordinary shares issued
to such holders after transformation into Innocoll AG) will be issued newly issued ordinary shares in Innocoll AG at a notional
value of EUR 1.00 per share in an amount such
that the weighted average price per share of the newly issued ordinary shares will
satisfy the IPO Premium Requirement.
By a further notarial deed dated
16 June 2014, just prior to the transformation of the Company into a stock corporation and prior to the IPO, new ordinary shares
of Innocoll GmbH were issued to certain pre-IPO shareholders under the same terms and conditions, having the same anti-dilution
rights as the series E preferred shares.
As the Pre-IPO Equity Financing
was required for the Company to comply with legal equity funding requirements, which were mandatory to meet, in order to transform
the Company into a stock corporation (“AG”) and therefore an indispensible precondition to complete the
IPO on NASDAQ, it is in the interest of the Company to satisfy the anti-dilution rights of certain pre-IPO shareholders, which
are part of to the Pre-IPO Equity Financing, by way of capital increase and issuance of new shares at a subscription price of EUR
1.00 for the benefit of the pre-IPO shareholders.
The company’s long term interest
in capital market financing at NASDAQ goes beyond the shareholders’ interest in participating in a cash capital increase
for a subscription price at notional value, in particular as the capital increase amount of 58,953 only represents about 4% of
the outstanding share capital in the company.

Pursuant to Sec. 13 of the articles
and Sec. 123 AktG, only those shareholders may participate in the meeting and exercise their voting rights who have registered

p.m.) in German or English language at the above address. Shareholders are kindly asked to register early in order to facilitate
the organization of the general meeting. The admission to the general meeting and the exercise of the voting right shall be determined

in the stock ledger if such shareholder has registered for participation by the closing date for registration. For the avoidance
of doubt, the closing date shall not have any impact on the transferability of shares and/or ADRs.

Shareholders who have registered
in time and are registered in the stock ledger, but do not wish to participate personally in the extraordinary general meeting
may exercise their voting right by a proxy. If a bank is registered in the stock ledger, such bank can only exercise the voting
right for shares not owned by it pursuant to an authorization by the shareholder. Voting proxies, as well as their revocation of
and the evidence of authorization vis-à-vis the Company have to be made in text form (Sec. 126b of the German Civil Code).
However, voting proxies granted to a bank, shareholder organization or any other person or institution equivalent pursuant to Sec.
135 AktG shall be subject to the provisions of Sec. 135 AktG. Details of the voting proxies granted to banks or professional agents
should be discussed with them.
Templates for voting proxies can
be obtained from the Company at the following address:

Voting proxies can be submitted
at the time of admission prior to the general meeting, or in advance per mail, email, or fax to the address above. The same applies
also the revocation of voting proxies. To the extent that voting proxies are submitted prior to the general meeting, we kindly
ask our shareholders to do so by 6 p.m. on 3 December 2014.
| 4. | Applications for supplements to the agenda, Sec. 122 para. 2 AktG |
Shareholders whose shareholdings
amount in aggregate to at least EUR 75,461 (equal to 75,461 shares in the Company) may request that items be put on the agenda
and published (supplementary motions). Each new item shall be accompanied by an explanation or a draft resolution. Further, the
shareholders have to prove that they have held their shares for three months and will continue to hold
them until a decision on
the supplementary motion has been reached. There is a dispute in legal literature on whether the requesting shareholders must have
held their shares three months prior to the general meeting, or to the supplementary motion. The Company will follow the interpretation
more favorable to the shareholders and will publish supplementing requests if it is proved that the shares fulfilling the required
quorum have been held since 3 September 2014.
Supplementary motions must be submitted
in writing to the Company’s management board and must be received at least 30 days prior to the general meeting (not counting
the day of receipt and the day of the general meeting), i.e. at the latest by 3 November 2014. Please send any such requests
to:
Innocoll AG
Donaustr. 24
93342 Saal an der Donau
Germany
E-Mail: toconnor@innocoll-pharma.com
Fax: +353 (0) 90 6486835
Duly submitted supplementary motions have to be published
by the Company immediately after receipt in the same manner as the invitation to the general meeting.
| 5. | Counter-motions and nominations by shareholders, Sec. 126 para.1, 127 AktG |
Shareholders may submit to the
Company counter-motions against the proposals from the management and supervisory boards on certain items on the agenda (counter-motions),
as well as proposals for the election of supervisory board members (election proposals). If such counter-motions and election proposals
including any explanatory statements which are not required by law are received by the Company in text form at the latest by 19

they have to be published
by the Company on its website under
http://investors.innocoll.com including
the name of the shareholder, the explanatory statement, and, if applicable, an opinion by the Company’s management.
Counter-motions and election proposals
not complying with these requirements will not be published. Also, counter-motions do not need to be published under the circumstances
listed in Sec. 126 para.2 AktG, in particular if the counter-motion would lead to a resolution by the general meeting which is
illegal or immoral. If several shareholders submit counter-motions or election proposals concerning the same agenda item, the management
board may combine such counter-motions or election proposals and the explanatory statements pursuant to Sec. 126 para. 3 AktG.
| 6. | Information rights pursuant to Sec. 131 para. 1 AktG |
During the general meeting, any
shareholder or representative of a shareholder may request information from the management board on the Company’s affairs
and the Company’s legal and business relations with any affiliated enterprise, to the extent that such information is required
to permit a proper evaluation of the relevant agenda item and there is no right to refuse such information pursuant to Sec.131 para. 3AktG.
| 7. | Further explications and information on the Company’s website, provision of documents |
From the calling of the general
meeting, all information and documents pursuant to Sec. 124a AktG including further explications on shareholder rights pursuant
