Dechra(R) Pharmaceuticals PLC

(Dechra or the Company)

Increased investment in Medical Ethics Pty Ltd

The Board of Dechra is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired a further 15.0% of the issued share capital of Medical Ethics Pty Ltd (Medical Ethics), the parent company of Animal Ethics, for a total consideration of c.AUD$13.5 million (GBP8.0 million) from the current shareholders. Following this acquisition, Dechra will hold 48.0% of the issued share capital of Medical Ethics.

Since Dechra's initial investment was made, Medical Ethics has, through its subsidiary Animal Ethics, progressed the registration process for Tri-Solfen(R), a pain relief product for use in farm animals. Once approved for major markets, Tri-Solfen(R) should significantly strengthen our FAP portfolio, further our geographical expansion strategy and enhance Dechra's reputation of providing clinically necessary, high quality, ethical veterinary pharmaceuticals.

Following recent trials in South East Asia, Tri-Solfen(R) has also been found to be a highly effective therapy for the recovery of cattle suffering from Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) resulting in improved body weight and production in affected cattle.

Phase two clinical trials for the application of venous leg ulcers in humans are also progressing well.

The Board believes that the value of the initial investment of AUD$ 18.0 million (GBP11.1 million) in March 2017 to acquire 33% of the issued share capital of the company has increased significantly.

Commenting on the share acquisition, Dechra's Chief Executive Officer, Ian Page said:

"We are delighted to have increased our shareholding in Medical Ethics, this investment will allow the founding shareholders to continue to commit themselves to the business throughout the next few years during its important development of both human and veterinary medicines".
