AFFIMED N.V.

As previously disclosed, on May 13, 2025, Affimed N.V. (the “Company”) filed for insolvency with the local court of Mannheim in Germany.

Following such insolvency filing, on May 13, 2025, the Company received a written notice from the staff of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) notifying the Company that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1, the trading of the Company’s common shares will be suspended at the opening of business on May 20, 2025, and a Form 25 Notification of Delisting will be filed with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). The Staff’s determination was based on (i) the associated public interest concerns raised by the Company’s announcement that it filed for insolvency in the local court of Mannheim in Germany, (ii) concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders and (iii) concerns about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. The Company does not expect to appeal this determination.

Additional information and background on the insolvency filings may be found in the Company’s report on Form 6-K filed on May 13, 2025.

On May 14, 2025, the Company issued a press release discussing the Nasdaq notice. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
