AFFIMED N.V.

On February 3, 2020, Affimed N.V. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its chief financial officer (“CFO”), Dr. Florian Fischer, passed away this weekend due to complications related to neoplasia.

The Company has commenced a process with an executive search firm for a new permanent CFO. As part of the transition plan, the Company announced that the experienced financial and biotechnology industry executive Harry Welten will assume the operating responsibilities of the CFO during the search and will continue to operate in that capacity until a permanent successor has been appointed. Mr. Welten has more than 20 years of U.S. and European executive management experience in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and banking industries, and has served as CFO for several publicly-traded biotechnology companies, including Kuros Biosciences AG (formerly Cytos Biotechnology AG), Horizon Pharma AG (formerly Nitec Pharma AG) and Arpida AG.
