LYON, France—June 24, 2013--Flamel Technologies S.A. (NASDAQ: FLML) today announced voting results from the Company’s annual ordinary and extraordinary meeting held on June 20, 2013. Approximately 98 percent of outstanding shares were represented at the meeting. The director nominees, Mr. Michael S. Anderson, Dr. Catherine Bréchignac, Mr. Guillaume Cerutti, Dr. Francis J.T. Fildes, Ambassador Craig Stapleton, Mr. Elie Vannier, and Mr. Stephen H. Willard were each reelected to Flamel’s board of directors for a further one-year term. Each director received at least 90% of the votes cast and at the conclusion of the meeting the Board of Directors reappointed Stephen H. Willard as Chairman.

Each additional resolution proposed favorably by management at the meeting was approved overwhelmingly.

“We appreciate shareholder support in the election of the Board of Directors and approval of the proposed resolutions,” said Mike Anderson, Chief Executive Officer of Flamel. “We believe this reflects shareholders’ continued confidence in Flamel’s new strategy to generate revenues from near, medium and long-term product opportunities. Our July launch of Bloxiverz (neostigmine methylsulfate) is still on target. This recent approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) represents an exciting example of a near-term revenue opportunity that will build value for Flamel’s shareholders.”
