LUXEMBOURG, September 15, 2010 - Creabilis SA, a clinical stage European biotechnology company
addressing significant unmet medical needs in dermatological diseases, today
announced the appointment of George F. Horner III as its Chairman. Mr Horner
brings to Creabilis an unrivalled track record in building successful biotech
businesses that have generated significant value for their shareholders.

Mr Horner has over 40 years industry experience gained with
both biotech and big pharma companies. He was most recently the CEO of
Prestwick Pharmaceuticals, a private CNS company that was sold to Biovail
Corporation and Ovation Pharmaceuticals in late 2008. Prior to joining
Prestwick, Mr Horner was the CEO of Vicuron, a publicly listed
anti-infectives company that was sold to Pfizer for $1.9 billion in 2005. Mr
Horner also worked for Ligand Pharmaceuticals following a successful career
at Abbott Laboratories where his final position was as President of the
company's business in Canada. Mr Horner has also acted as an adviser to a
number of specialist life science investors in recent years.

Commenting on his new role, George F. Horner III said: "I am
excited to be joining Creabilis given its potential to deliver the genuine
innovation that is needed to transform the dermatology market. I have been
attracted to this opportunity by the Company's rich pipeline of clinical and
pre-clinical drug candidates focussed on dermatological indications, its deep
understanding of the science behind a number of serious skin disorders, as
well as its unique technology platform with broad utility. I am sure that
from this strong base we will be able to generate significant value for
Creabilis shareholders."

Graziano Seghezzi, Partner at Sofinnova, said: "We are
delighted to have someone with George's track record in building successful
high-value biotech businesses as Chairman of Creabilis. I am sure his
strategic and operational experience will be vital as we look to progress the
Company's exciting pipeline, build the management team and develop our LSE
(Low Systemic Exposure) technology, so that Creabilis can generate new
prescription medicines that will make a significant improvement to the
treatment of skin diseases."
