Medivir proceeds with a separation of the company’s operations

Stockholm, Sweden — Medivir AB (Nasdaq Stockholm: MVIR) today announces that the
Board of Directors has tasked the company management to continue the
implementation of a separation of the company’s operations into two independent
companies, with the intention to obtain a separate listing on First North
Premium for the new commercial company based on Medivir’s current pharmaceutical
portfolio. The objective of the separation is to visualize the value of both the
commercial operations and the pharmaceutical projects that make up the R&D
portfolio.

The Board´s target timing is that a separation of Medivir’s operations into a
dedicated research and development company and a commercial pharmaceutical
company should be completed before Year-end. The existing operations would thus
be conducted by two clearly focused, specialized companies.

Further information about the new strategic path will be presented at a capital
markets day at a later date.
