Dear Mr Gerraty,
Re: REQUEST FOR TRADING HALT
Pursuant to Listing Rule 17.1, Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals Ltd (CUV) requests an immediate trading halt
with respect to its ordinary shares listed on the ASX.
The trading halt is necessary as CUV proposes to make an announcement to the market regarding the
outcome of the review of a marketing authorisation application (MAA) for CUV’s drug SCENESSE® for
the treatment of erythropoeitic protoporphria (EPP) by the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The
EMA’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) held its October plenary meeting in
London which concluded overnight. During this meeting the CHMP was expected to make a final
recommendation regarding the MAA for SCENESSE®. Any decision on the SCENESSE® MAA will be
included in the highlights to the meeting which may be published by the EMA approximately midday
today (UK time).
CUV requests the trading halt to last until the earlier of CUV releasing an announcement in relation to
the outcome to the review process, expected on the morning of Monday 27th October 2014, or until the
commencement of trade on Tuesday 28th October 2014.
CUV is not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted by the ASX nor is it aware of
any other information that is necessary to inform the market about the trading halt.
Yours faithfully,
Darren Keamy
Company Secretary
