In connection with rendering the opinion set forth below, we have examined and relied on the Prospectus Supplement and such other documents as we have deemed necessary or relevant as a basis for the opinion set forth below. We have not independently verified any factual matters.
For purposes of rendering our opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of original documents, the accuracy of copies, the genuineness of all signatures and the legal capacity of all persons executing all instruments or documents examined or relied on by us.
Our opinion is based upon the relevant provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and interpretations of the foregoing as expressed in court decisions and administrative determinations, all as in effect on the date of this opinion and all of which are subject to change at any time (possibly with retroactive effect). A change in the authorities upon which our opinion is based could affect the conclusions expressed herein. We undertake no obligation to update or supplement this opinion to reflect any changes of law or fact.
Our opinion is not binding upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the IRS) or any court. Thus, no assurance can be given that a position taken in reliance on our opinion will not be challenged by the IRS or rejected by a court.
On the basis of and subject to the foregoing and in reliance on the assumptions described above, subject to the limitations set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, the statements of law or legal
conclusions in the Prospectus Supplement under the heading TaxationTaxation in the United States constitute the opinion of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP as to the material United States federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of (i) the rights being offered in the Offering and (ii) Common Shares and ADSs acquired by exercise of such rights.
This opinion is limited to the matters of federal income tax law of the United States set forth in the Prospectus Supplement, and we express no opinion with respect to any other federal, state, local or foreign tax issues, consequences or matters related to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Common Shares and ADSs.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 8.1 to the Prospectus Supplement and to the use of our name under the caption Legal Matters in the Prospectus Supplement.

Scope of Opinion
2. The undersigned is admitted to the bar in Vienna, Austria and licensed as an attorney-at-law in Austria. This opinion is, therefore, limited to matters of Austrian law as presently in effect.

We assume no obligation to update the opinions expressed herein if laws, facts or circumstances change after the date hereof.

In particular, this opinion does not address itself to matters arising out of or in connection with the issuance or the listing of the ADS on The NASDAQ Global Market. We have not been instructed to review any tax or regulatory matters (other than those expressly mentioned in this opinion) and (except as stated otherwise in this opinion) any reference to Austrian law herein shall exclude the law relating to such matters. Except as necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this opinion, we have not independently verified factual matters for the purposes of this opinion, and our opinion does not purport to express or imply any opinion with regard to such matters, including the adequacy of any of the economic terms of the transactions contemplated in the Documents (as defined below). Nothing herein should be taken as expressing an opinion with respect to the representations and warranties or other factual statements (other than any facts that are the subject of this opinion), contained in the Documents (as defined below). Where this opinion letter refers to facts or documents known to us or statements are made based upon our knowledge, and in all other similar circumstances, such knowledge shall only be relevant with regard to the conscious awareness of those lawyers of our firm having worked specifically on the transaction being the subject matter of this opinion.

The courts of Vienna, Austria shall have exclusive jurisdiction with respect to any matters of liability arising hereunder.

Exhibit 99.1
EXECUTION VERSION
FINANCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
November 29, 2016
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.
499 Park Avenue
New York, New York 10022
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This Financial Services Agreement (the Agreement) relates to a securities offering of Nabriva Therapeutics AG, a stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) incorporated in the Republic of Austria (Austria) with corporate seat in Vienna and business address at Leberstraße 20, A-1110 Vienna, Austria, registered with the commercial register of the Vienna Commercial Court under no. FN 269261 y (the Company).
The Company proposes to raise approximately US $25 million gross proceeds through the issuance of securities to holders of rights (Rights) to subscribe for common shares, nominal value 1.00 per share (Shares), or American Depositary Shares representing Shares (ADSs, together with the Shares, the Securities). Cantor Fitzgerald & Co (CF&CO) has agreed to act as the Companys exclusive financial advisor in connection with such proposed offering (the Rights Offering). In addition, if all Rights are not fully exercised, CF&CO shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to act as sole book-runner in connection with an offering of ADSs promptly following the completion of the Rights subscription period in an amount equal to the number of ADSs that would have been issuable pursuant to such unexercised Rights (the Placement, and collectively with the Rights Offering, the Financing).
CF&CO hereby accepts the engagement and, in that connection, to the extent requested by the Company and appropriate under the circumstances, agrees to assist the Company in the following with respect to the Financing:
A. Assistance and advice in structuring, strategy and settlement mechanics;
B. Preparation of marketing materials concerning the Financing for distribution and presentation to prospective investors;
C. In Cantors sole discretion, engaging in permitted stabilization transactions with respect to the ADSs in connection with the Financing; and
D. Preparation and implementation of a marketing plan in connection with the Placement.
CF&Co shall perform these services in a professional and businesslike manner.
In consideration of CF&CO services pursuant to this Agreement, concurrently with and subject to the delivery of Shares and ADSs pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Company agrees to pay CF&CO a cash fee in U.S. dollars equal to 8% of the gross proceeds to the Company from the purchase of Securities upon exercise of Rights pursuant to the Rights Offering. In addition, with respect to any ADSs sold in the Placement, in light of the fact that Austrian law requires that CF&CO purchase any securities at a price no lower than the Euro-denominated subscription price for the Rights Offering (the Subscription Price), (i) if CF&CO resells ADSs in the Placement at a price below or at the Subscription Price, the Company agrees to pay CF&CO a cash fee in U.S. dollars equal to 8% of the gross proceeds to the Company from any such ADSs subsequently resold in the Placement, (ii) if CF&CO resells ADSs in the Placement at a price above the Subscription Price but below a price that is equal to 8% greater than the Subscription Price, the Company agrees to pay CF&CO a cash fee in U.S. dollars equal to the difference between the price that is 8% greater than the Subscription Price and the price at which CF&CO resells any such ADSs in the Placement and (iii) if CF&CO resells ADSs in the Placement at a price equal to 8% greater than the Subscription Price, it shall receive no proceeds from the Company. In no event will CF&CO resell securities at a price that is greater than 8% greater than the Subscription Price or receive aggregate fees pursuant to this paragraph 3 that exceed 8% of the gross proceeds of the Financing, with any such additional funds being promptly paid to the Company.
The Companys payment obligations set forth above with respect to the Rights Offering shall in no way be contingent upon the successful completion of a Placement and shall be paid to CF&CO no later than the date of the settlement of the Rights Offering.
This Agreement shall terminate as of March 1, 2017 if the Rights Offering has not been completed on or prior to such date. CF&CO may terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice to the Company. The Company may terminate this Agreement at any time after CF&CO informs the Company in writing that it does not plan to provide the Company with any of the financial advisory services in connection with the Rights Offering, or participate in any of the transactions, contemplated hereunder. In any such case CF&CO shall not be entitled to any fees or other compensation under this Agreement.
Section 1. Representations and Warranties; Covenants of the Company.
A. The Financing will be conducted pursuant to the registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-214197) with respect to the Shares underlying the ADSs, including a base prospectus (the Base Prospectus) to be used in connection with the public offering and sale of the Securities. Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, in the form in which it became effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the Securities Act), including all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein and any information deemed to be a part thereof at the time of effectiveness pursuant to Rule 430A or 430B under the Securities Act, is called the Registration Statement. The Company has prepared and filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form F-6 (File No. 333-206771) relating to
the ADSs. Such registration statement, as amended, including the financial statements, exhibits and schedules thereto, in the form in which it became effective under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, is called the ADS Registration Statement. The Company expects to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus relating to the Rights Offering (the Prospectus Supplement, and together with the Base Prospectus, the Prospectus).
B. Neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto, at its effective time, or as of the date of this Agreement, contained, contains or will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto (including any prospectus wrapper), as of its issue date, at the time of any filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) or at the date of settlement of the Rights Offering, will include an untrue statement of a material fact or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each of the Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has become effective under the Securities Act. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has been issued under the Securities Act, no order preventing or suspending the use of the Prospectus has been issued and no proceedings for any of those purposes have been instituted or are pending or, to the Companys knowledge, contemplated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
C. To help the United States government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the federal law of the United States requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person with whom they do business as a condition to doing such business. To permit compliance with this requirement, upon request the Company will provide CF&CO with information or documents sufficient to verify the Companys identity, including (as appropriate) a U.S. taxpayer identification number or other government-issued identification number, a government-issued business license, a certified charter, certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement or trust instrument and other constituent documents.
D. The Company represents, to the best of its knowledge, that none of (i) the Company, (ii) any person controlling or controlled by the Company, (iii) any person having a beneficial ownership interest in the Company and (iv) any person for whom the Company acts as an agent or nominee is (x) a country, territory, individual or entity named on the U.S. Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list, (y) a person or entity prohibited under the programs administered by OFAC (OFAC Programs), or (z) a country, territory, individual or entity named on another international sanctions list. The Company further represents that, to the best of its knowledge, none of the proceeds of the Financing shall be derived from or used for any purpose prohibited under the OFAC Programs or other international sanctions programs.
E. During the period of CF&COs engagement hereunder, the Company will furnish or arrange to have furnished to CF&CO all information concerning the Company and the Financing that CF&CO reasonably deems appropriate and that is in the possession of the Company and will use its reasonable best efforts to provide CF&CO with reasonable access to the Companys officers, directors, employees, affiliates, appraisers, independent accountants, legal counsel and other agents, consultants and advisors (collectively, its Representatives) in connection with the Financing.
F. The Company agrees that during the term of CF&COs engagement hereunder the Company shall notify CF&CO promptly if (i) any material adverse change, or any development that may lead to a material adverse change, occurs in the business, properties, operations, financial condition or prospects of the Company, (ii) at any time, the information included in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or any other information used in connection with the Rights Offering includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or (iii) any information furnished by the Company to CF&CO is or becomes inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any material respect.
G.

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless CF&CO, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, and other liabilities (collectively, Liabilities), and will fully reimburse CF&CO for any and all reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements (collectively, Expenses), as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing or defending any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation or arbitration, and whether or not CF&CO is a party (collectively, Actions)
(including any and all legal and other Expenses in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise), arising out of or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by CF&CO pursuant to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereby or CF&COs actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services or transactions; provided, however, such indemnity agreement shall not apply to any portion of any such Liability or Expense that is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of CF&CO.
These indemnification provisions shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend to the following: Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., and their respective affiliated entities, directors, officers, employees, legal counsel, agents and controlling persons (within the meaning of the federal securities laws). All references to CF&CO in this Section 4 shall be understood to include any and all of the foregoing.
If any Action is commenced as to which CF&CO proposes to demand indemnification hereunder, it shall notify the Company with reasonable promptness; provided, however, that any failure by CF&CO to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from its obligations hereunder except to the extent that CF&COs failure to notify the Company causes the Company to forfeit any material rights or defenses by reason of such failure. The Company will have the right, at its option, to assume the defense of any Action in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the CF&CO and the payment of the fees and expenses of such counsel, in which event, except as provided below, the Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of any other counsel retained by CF&CO in connection with such Action. In any such Action the defense of which the Company shall have so assumed, CF&CO shall have the right to participate in such Action and to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of CF&CO unless (1) the employment of counsel by CF&CO has been authorized in writing by the Company, (2) CF&CO has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, (3) a conflict or potential conflict exists (based on advice of counsel to CF&CO) between CF&CO and the Company (in which case the Company will not have the right to assume the defense of such Action on behalf of CF&CO) or (4) the Company has not in fact employed counsel to assume the defense of such Action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action. Any such counsel retained by CF&CO shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with the Company and any counsel designated by the Company. The Company shall be liable for any settlement of any claim against CF&CO made with the Companys written consent. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of CF&CO, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any claim, or permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment, in any Action in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of CF&CO from all liability arising out of such Action and does not impose any monetary or financial obligation on CF&CO or contain any admission of culpability or liability on the part of CF&CO.
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for indemnification pursuant to these Indemnification Provisions is made but it is found in a final judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, then the Company, on the one hand, and CF&CO, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities and Expenses to which the indemnified persons may be subject in accordance with the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and CF&CO, on the other hand, and also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and CF&CO, on the other hand, in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in such Liabilities and Expenses. The Company agrees for purposes of this paragraph that the relative benefits to the Company and CF&CO of any contemplated Financing (whether or not consummated) shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total value paid or issued or contemplated to be paid or issued to or by the Company or its security holders in connection with such Financing bears to the fees paid or payable to CF&CO under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CF&CO shall not be obligated to contribute any amount pursuant to this paragraph that exceeds the amount of fees previously received by CF&CO pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.

Nothing in this Agreement or the nature of our services shall be deemed to create a fiduciary or agency relationship between CF&CO and the Company or its security holders, employees or creditors, in connection with the Financing or otherwise. Other than as set forth in the Indemnification Provisions attached hereto, nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any other person (including security holders, employees or creditors of the Company) any rights or remedies hereunder or related hereto. The Company agrees that CF&CO shall not have any liability (including without limitation, liability for any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements) in contract, tort or otherwise to the Company, or to any person claiming through the Company, in connection with the engagement of CF&CO pursuant to this Agreement and the matters contemplated hereby, except where such liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of CF&CO. The Company further agrees that CF&CO shall have no responsibility for any act or omission by any of the Companys other Representatives.
CF&CO reserves the right to employ the services of its affiliates in providing services contemplated by this Agreement and to allocate, in whole or in part, to its affiliates certain fees payable to CF&CO in such manner as CF&CO and its affiliates may agree, in CF&COs sole discretion.

The provisions of this Agreement may not be modified, amended or supplemented except in writing executed by the Company and CF&CO.

In any instance where the Agent cannot reconcile such discrepancies by following such procedures, it will consult with the Company for written instructions as to the number of new ADSs, if any, that the relevant ADS Rights Holder is authorized to purchase. In the absence of such instructions, the Agent is authorized not to deliver any new ADSs to such ADS Rights Holder.
(e) The Agent shall accept subscriptions, without further authorization or direction from the Company, without procuring supporting legal papers or other proof of authority to sign (including without limitation proof of appointment of a fiduciary or other person acting in a representative capacity), and without signatures of co-fiduciaries, co-representatives or any other person:

(ii) if the ADS Rights are registered in the name of joint tenants and the ADS Subscription Form is executed by one of the joint tenants, provided the new ADSs are to be issued in the names of, and are to be delivered to, such joint tenants;
(iii) if the ADS Rights are registered in the name of a corporation and the ADS Subscription Form is executed by a person in a manner which appears or purports to be done in the capacity of an officer, or agent thereof, provided the new ADSs are to be issued in the name of such corporation; or
(iv) if the ADS Rights are registered in the name of an individual and the ADS Subscription Form is executed by a person purporting to act as such individuals executor,
administrator or personal representative, provided that the new ADSs are to be registered in the name of the subscriber as executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased registered holder and the Agent is not aware of any evidence indicating the subscriber is not the duly authorized representative that he purports to be.
(f) The Agent shall refer to the Company for specific instructions as to acceptance or rejection, subscriptions received after the Expiration Time, subscriptions not authorized to be accepted under this Section 8 and subscriptions otherwise failing to comply with the requirements of the Prospectus and the terms and conditions of the ADS Rights.
(g) Because the Depositary will not be able to subscribe for any fraction of a Common Share and each ADS represents one-tenth of one Common Share, the Company will instruct the Agent to reduce the number of new ADSs for which one or more ADS holders are permitted to subscribe pursuant to ADS Rights to the extent necessary so that the Depositary will not subscribe, in the aggregate, for any fraction of a Common Share.
9. (a) The Agent shall advise the Company daily by e-mail to the attention of Gary Sender (email: gary.sender@nabriva.com) (the Company Representative), with copies to Pete Wolf (email: pete.wolf@nabriva.com), as to the total number of new ADSs subscribed for pursuant to ADS Rights and the total amount of funds received, with cumulative totals for each.
(b) As promptly as practicable, but in any event on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first business day following the Expiration Time, the Agent shall advise the Company Representative by email of the number of new ADSs subscribed for pursuant to ADS Rights.
10. (a) Subject to the limitations in subsections (c) and (d) below, as promptly as practicable after the Expiration Time and prior to the expiration of the subscription period in connection with the Common Share Rights Offering, the Agent shall (i) convert or cause to be converted, by sale or in any other manner that it may determine, that portion of the aggregate Deposit Amounts required to purchase the amount in Euro required to purchase the number of new Common Shares to be represented by the number of new ADSs determined under Section 9(b) above and to pay any applicable taxes and pay the proceeds of that conversion to the Company, (ii) instruct the Depositary to (A) exercise with the Company or its subscription agent the Common Share Rights to purchase the number of new Common Shares to be represented by that number of new ADSs and (B) upon receipt by the Depositarys Austrian custodian under the Deposit Agreement (the Custodian) of the Common Shares delivered upon exercise of those Common Share Rights, deliver the ADSs issuable in respect of those Common Shares to the Agent and (iii) pay, from the deposited funds, the Depositarys fee of $0.05 for each newly issued ADS. The Agent shall deliver those newly issued ADSs to the ADS Rights Holders entitled to them as promptly as practicable.

(c) If an ADS Rights Holders Deposit Amount is insufficient to pay the final ADS subscription price plus currency conversion expense, ADS issuance fees and any applicable taxes or expenses of that subscription, the Agent shall advance the deficiency on behalf of such ADS Rights Holder to the extent the deficiency does not exceed 20% of such ADS Rights Holders payment. The Agent shall contact each subscribing ADS Rights Holder and provide
them with a deficiency notice. The Agent shall not be required to deliver new ADSs to any ADS Rights Holder until it has received from such ADS Rights Holder payment of any deficiency advanced by the Agent. If the ADS Rights Holder does not pay the amount of the deficiency financed by the Agent within 14 days from the date the Agent provided the subscribing ADS Rights Holder with the deficiency notice, the Agent may sell enough of the ADS Rights Holders new ADSs to cover the amount of the deficiency. In that event, the Agent shall deliver to the ADS Rights Holder the remaining new ADSs and a check in the amount of any excess proceeds, net of ADS issuance fees of US$0.05 per new ADS, currency conversion expense, taxes, expenses of the subscription and the commissions on the sale.
(d) If, and to the extent that, the amount of any deficiency exceeds 20% of the amount of an ADS Rights Holders Deposit Amount, the Agent (i) shall not be required to advance the amount of that deficiency and (ii) may reduce the amount of that ADS Rights Holders subscription for new ADSs pro rata, unless that ADS Rights Holder delivers to the Agent sufficient funds to cover the deficiency prior to the relevant deadlines for subscription in the Common Share Rights Offering.
(e) The Agent may convert currency itself or through any of its affiliates and, in those cases, acts as principal for its own account and not as agent, advisor, broker or fiduciary on behalf of any other person and earn revenue, including, without limitation, transaction spreads, that it will retain for its own account. The revenue is based on, among other things, the difference between the exchange rate assigned to the currency conversion made in connection with the ADS Rights Offer and the rate that the Agent or its affiliate receives when buying or selling foreign currency for its own account. The Agent makes no representation that the exchange rate used or obtained in any currency conversion made in connection with the ADS Rights Offer will be the most favorable rate that could be obtained at the time or that the method by which that rate will be determined will be the most favorable to ADS Rights Holders, except that the Agent agrees to act without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
11. As soon as practicable following the expiration of the Common Share Rights Offering and the appearance of the Common Shares subscribed for in the Austrian Commercial Register, the Company shall deposit the Common Shares purchased by the Depositary pursuant to exercise of Common Share Rights with the Custodian.
12. [Reserved.]
13. If for any reason the Company instructs the Agent in writing that the ADS Rights Offering will not proceed, the Agent shall refund the Deposit Amount paid in U.S. dollars, without interest and net of any currency conversion or other expenses which were incurred and not refunded to the Agent, to the subscribing ADS Rights Holders entitled thereto.
14. The Depositary will register new ADSs purchased in the ADS Rights Offer in the name of the Agent on an uncertificated basis. Except in the case of subscriptions received from DTC participants or as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Agent will instruct the Depositary to re-register those new ADSs in the names of the ADS Rights Holders entitled to them and to mail confirmations of those registrations to those ADS Rights Holders.

15. The Agent shall date and time stamp each document received by it relating to its duties hereunder when received.
16. The Company shall take any and all action, including without limitation obtaining the authorization, consent, lack of objection, registration or approval of any governmental authority, or the taking of any other action under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction, to insure that all new Common Shares and new ADSs issuable upon the exercise of the ADS Rights at the time of delivery of those securities (subject to payment of the subscription price) will be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares or ADSs, free from all preemptive rights and taxes, liens, charges and security interests created by or imposed by the Company with respect thereto.
17. The Company shall from time to time take all action necessary or appropriate to obtain and keep effective all registrations, permits, consents and approvals of the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other governmental agency or authority and make such filings under federal and state laws which may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the issuance and delivery of ADS Rights or new Common Shares or new ADSs issued upon exercise of the ADS Rights.
18. [Reserved.]
19. (a) The Agent shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service Forms 1099-B in respect of cash payments made to ADS Rights Holders in accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations.

Such funds will be turned over to the Internal Revenue Service in accordance with applicable regulations.
(c) Should any issue arise regarding federal income tax reporting or withholding, the Agent will take such reasonable action as the Company requests in writing.
20. Any instructions given to the Agent orally, as permitted by any provision of this Agreement, shall be confirmed in writing by the Company as soon as practicable. The Agent shall not be liable or responsible and shall be fully authorized and protected for acting in good faith, or in good faith failing to act, in accordance with any oral instructions which do not conform with the written confirmation received in accordance with this Section 20.

While the Agent endeavors to maintain out-of-pocket charges (both internal and external) at competitive rates, these charges may not reflect actual out-of-pocket costs, and may include handling charges to cover internal processing and use of the Agents billing systems.
(b) All amounts owed to Agent under this Agreement are due within 30 days of the invoice date. Delinquent payments are subject to a late payment charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month commencing 45 days from the invoice date. The Company agrees to reimburse the Agent for any attorneys fees and any other costs associated with collecting delinquent payments.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall require Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement or in the exercise of its rights.

(d) shall not be obligated to take any legal action hereunder; if, however, the Agent determines to take any legal action hereunder, and where the taking of such action reasonably may, in its judgment, subject or expose it to any expense or liability it shall not be required to act unless it has been furnished with an indemnity satisfactory to it;

(i) may consult with counsel satisfactory to the Agent, including its in-house counsel, and the advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice of such counsel;
(j) may perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or by or through nominees, correspondents, designees, subagents or subcustodians, and it shall not be liable or responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any nominee, correspondent, designee, subagent or subcustodian appointed with reasonable care by it in connection with this Agreement;

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall Agent be liable for special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive losses or damages of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if Agent has been advised of the possibility of such losses or damages and regardless of the form of action.

Rights Offering to Holders of
Nabriva Therapeutics AG
American Depositary Shares
November 29, 2016
To: Our Clients who are Beneficial Owners
of American Depositary Shares representing
common shares of Nabriva Therapeutics AG
Nabriva Therapeutics AG (the Company) is offering (the Rights Offering) to (i) holders of its common shares, rights to subscribe for new common shares (the common share rights), and (ii) holders of American Depositary Shares representing its common shares (the ADSs), rights to subscribe for new ADSs (the ADS rights). The Rights Offering is being made pursuant to the Companys effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), including the base prospectus, dated November 9, 2016, included therein and a prospectus supplement, dated November 29, 2016, thereto (collectively, the Prospectus). The Prospectus is available by contacting the information agent, Georgeson LLC, at the address below or by visiting the Companys website for the Rights Offering at http://info.nabriva.com/RightsOffering/Documents.html. The Prospectus is also available by visiting the EDGAR system of the SEC at its website at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
The Prospectus is being made available to you as the beneficial owner of ADSs held for your account. In addition, please find the attached Subscription Instructions for ADS rights, which must be completed by you in order to direct the exercise of your ADS rights. The Company has made arrangements with The Bank of New York Mellon, as ADS rights agent, to make available the ADS rights to holders of ADSs at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on November 29, 2016 (the ADS record date) upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus. Your prompt attention is requested, as the ADS subscription period expires at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 12, 2016 (the ADS rights expiration date).
Questions regarding the issuance of the ADS rights and the offer to subscribe for new ADSs should be directed to the information agent, Georgeson LLC, phone number (866) 278-8941 (U.S. toll free) and email: Nabriva@georgeson.com.
ADS RIGHTS NOT EXERCISED PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. (NEW YORK CITY TIME) ON DECEMBER 12, 2016 WILL BECOME VOID AND WILL HAVE NO FURTHER VALUE.
For a complete description of the terms and conditions of the offering and the procedures for exercise of your ADS rights, please refer to the Prospectus. None of the terms hereof are intended to contradict or supersede the terms of the Prospectus. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Prospectus and the terms hereof, the terms of the Prospectus will govern. Any terms used but not defined herein will have the meaning given to such terms in the Prospectus.
Exercise of ADS Rights
You will receive 0.276 ADS rights for every ADS you hold on the ADS record date. One ADS right will entitle you to subscribe for and purchase one new ADS at the U.S. dollar equivalent of 4.014 per ADS, which is estimated at $4.25 per ADS based on a euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.00 to $1.0588. Fractional ADS rights will not be issued, and ADS right entitlements will be reduced to the next smaller whole number of ADS rights. To validly subscribe for new ADSs, you will need to pay to the ADS rights agent $4.68 for each new ADS you wish to subscribe for, which represents 110% of the estimated ADS subscription price to account for currency conversion expenses, an ADS issuance fee of the depositary of $0.05 per new ADS and potential fluctuations in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar. On or about December 13, 2016, the ADS rights agent will determine the actual U.S. dollar ADS subscription price by converting the euro subscription price into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate assigned by it on that date. If the actual U.S. dollar ADS subscription price (plus the ADS issuance fee and the
currency conversion expense) is less than the estimated ADS subscription payment, the ADS rights agent will refund such excess amount to the subscribing ADS holder without interest. However, if the amount of the estimated ADS subscription payment you paid to the ADS rights agent is, for any reason, including due to currency exchange rate fluctuations, insufficient to pay the subscription price in euro plus currency conversion expenses and ADS issuance fees for all of the ADSs you are subscribing for, the ADS rights agent will require you to pay the deficiency as a condition to receiving your new ADSs, or will instruct the depositary to subscribe on your behalf for only the number of whole ADSs that can be subscribed for with the amount you have paid and the ADS rights agent will refund to you as soon as practicable the excess amount without interest. The exercise of your ADS rights is irrevocable and may not be cancelled or modified.
No Exchange of ADS Rights for Common Share Rights
ADS rights may not be surrendered for delivery of common share rights, and common share rights may not be deposited for delivery of ADS rights.
Unexercised ADS Rights
If ADS rights are not exercised prior to the ADS rights expiration date, such ADS rights will become void and will have no further value. Accordingly, you will not receive any value or proceeds with respect to unexercised rights.
No Sale of ADS rights
The ADS rights are not assignable or transferable.
Offers and Sales in Certain Jurisdictions
Investors should note that the offer, sale, exercise or acceptance of, or the subscription for, any of the securities described in the Prospectus to or by persons located or resident in jurisdictions other than Austria and the United States may be restricted or prohibited by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. The Company will not knowingly credit ADS rights to any account, or deliver any new ADSs to investors in any jurisdiction in which it would be illegal to do so, or where doing so would trigger any prospectus, registration, filing or approval requirement or otherwise violate the securities laws of such jurisdictions or be prohibited. The Company reserves absolute discretion in determining whether any holder of ADSs located or resident outside Austria and the United States may participate in this offering.
Each person who exercises, accepts, subscribes for or purchases any of the securities described in the Prospectus must do so in accordance with the restrictions set forth in the Prospectus.

INSTRUCTIONS BOOKLET FOR NABRIVA THERAPEUTICS AG ADS SUBSCRIPTION FORM
FOR ADS RIGHTS TO PURCHASE ADSs OF NABRIVA THERAPEUTICS AG
Nabriva Therapeutics AG (the Company) is offering (the Rights Offering) to (i) holders of its common shares (the common shares), rights to subscribe for new common shares (the common share rights), and (ii) holders of American Depositary Shares representing its common shares (ADSs), rights to subscribe for new ADSs (the ADS rights). The Rights Offering is being made pursuant to the Companys effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), including the base prospectus, dated November 9, 2016, included therein and a prospectus supplement, dated November 29, 2016, thereto (collectively, the Prospectus). The Prospectus is available by contacting the information agent, Georgeson LLC, at the address below or by visiting the Companys website for the Rights Offering at http://info.nabriva.com/RightsOffering/Documents.html. The Prospectus is also available by visiting the EDGAR system of the SEC at its website at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
The terms of the ADS rights and the common share rights are fully described in the Prospectus. The Company has made arrangements with The Bank of New York Mellon, as ADS rights agent, to make available the ADS rights to holders of ADSs at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on November 29, 2016 (the ADS record date) upon the terms set forth in the Prospectus. The CUSIP No. for the Companys ADSs is 62957M 104, and the ADSs are listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol NBRV. Your prompt attention is requested, as the ADS subscription period expires at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 12, 2016 (the ADS rights expiration date).
Questions regarding the issuance of the ADS rights and the offer to subscribe for new ADSs should be directed to the information agent, Georgeson LLC, phone number (866) 278-8941 (U.S. toll free) and email: Nabriva@georgeson.com.
Your ADS subscription form contains sections related to the choices available to you regarding the ADS rights. The following instructions are intended solely to assist you in completing your ADS subscription form. None of the terms hereof are intended to contradict or supersede the terms of the Prospectus. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the Prospectus and the terms hereof, the terms of the Prospectus will govern. Any terms used but not defined herein will have the meaning given to such terms in the Prospectus.
If you have special instructions for the ADS rights agent, which cannot be included in the ADS subscription form, you should send a letter setting forth such instructions to the ADS rights agent with your ADS subscription form. In all cases you should include your daytime telephone number in the space provided in the ADS subscription form (in case the ADS rights agent needs to contact you for further information).
Exercise of ADS Rights
You will receive 0.276 ADS rights for every ADS you hold on the ADS record date. One ADS right will entitle you to subscribe for one new ADS at the U.S. dollar equivalent of 4.014 per ADS, which is estimated at $4.25 per ADS based on a euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.00 to $1.0588. Fractional ADS rights will not be issued, and ADS right entitlements will be reduced to the next smaller whole number of ADS rights. To validly subscribe for new ADSs, you will need to pay to the ADS rights agent $4.68 for each new ADS you wish to subscribe for, which represents 110% of the estimated ADS subscription price to account for currency conversion expenses, an ADS issuance fee of the depositary of $0.05 per new ADS and potential fluctuations in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar. On or about December 13, 2016, the ADS rights agent will determine the actual U.S. dollar ADS subscription price by converting the euro subscription price into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate assigned by it on that date. If the actual U.S. dollar ADS subscription price (plus the ADS issuance fee and the currency conversion expense) is less than the estimated ADS subscription payment, the ADS rights agent will refund such excess amount to the subscribing ADS holder without interest. However, if the amount of the estimated ADS subscription payment you paid to the ADS rights agent is, for any reason, including due to currency exchange rate fluctuations, insufficient to pay the subscription price in euro plus currency conversion expenses and ADS issuance fees for all of the ADSs you are subscribing for, the ADS rights agent will require you to pay the deficiency as a condition to receiving your new ADSs, or will instruct the depositary to subscribe on your behalf for only the
number of whole ADSs that can be subscribed for with the amount you have paid and the ADS rights agent will refund to you as soon as practicable the excess amount without interest. The exercise of your ADS rights is irrevocable and may not be cancelled or modified.
If you wish to exercise your ADS rights, you should:
1. complete and sign the enclosed ADS subscription form, indicating in the appropriate place the number of new ADSs you wish to subscribe;
2. obtain a U.S. dollar certified or official bank check made payable to the order of The Bank of New York Mellon for the full ADS subscription payment for all new ADSs you are subscribing for upon the exercise of your ADS rights; and
3. deliver the completed and original signed ADS subscription form and proper payment for the full ADS subscription payment for the total number of new ADSs subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of ADS rights, to the ADS rights agent at one of the addresses set forth below under the heading Contact and Mailing Information to be received prior to the expiration of the ADS subscription period at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 12, 2016.
All documents and the full amount of the ADS subscription payment must be received by the ADS rights agent before the ADS rights expiration date at one of the addresses set forth below under the heading Contact and Mailing Information. Any exercise of ADS rights is effective only when received by the ADS rights agent. Your exercise of ADS rights is irrevocable and may not be cancelled or modified. Deposits in the mail will not constitute delivery to the ADS rights agent.
You may elect the method for delivery of the completed ADS subscription form and payment to the ADS rights agent of the ADS subscription payment, and you will bear any risk associated therewith. If you send ADS subscription form or payments by mail, you should use registered mail, properly insured, with return receipt requested, and allow sufficient time to ensure delivery to the ADS rights agent before the ADS rights expiration date. In order to ensure timely delivery to the ADS rights agent, you may wish to consider the use of an overnight courier.
If you exercise less than all of the ADS rights granted to you by so indicating on your ADS subscription form, your unexercised ADS rights will become void and will have no further value.
If you do not indicate the number of new ADSs to be subscribed for on the ADS subscription form, or if you indicate a number of new ADSs that does not agree with the amount of proper payment you delivered, you will be deemed to have subscribed for the maximum number of whole ADSs that may be subscribed for by the ADS subscription payment you delivered.
Because the depositary will not be able to subscribe for any fraction of a common share and each ADS represents one tenth (1/10) of one common share, the Company will instruct the ADS rights agent to reduce the number of new ADSs for which an ADS holder is permitted to subscribe pursuant to ADS rights to the extent necessary so that the depositary will not subscribe, in the aggregate, for any fraction of a common share.
No Sale of ADS Rights
The ADS rights are not assignable or transferable.
No Exchange of ADS Rights for Common Share Rights
ADS rights may not be surrendered for delivery of common share rights, and common share rights may not be deposited for delivery of ADS rights.
Exercise through DTC
ADS rights received through DTC can only be exercised through the applicable function of the DTC system. Payment for new ADSs subscribed for must be received by the ADS rights agent via DTC prior to the ADS rights expiration date. Any exercise of ADS rights is irrevocable and may not be cancelled or modified.
Unexercised ADS Rights
If ADS rights are not exercised prior to the ADS rights expiration date, such ADS rights will become void and will have no further value. Accordingly, you will not receive any value or proceeds with respect to unexercised ADS rights.
Signature Requirements
The signature(s) on any ADS subscription form must correspond with the name(s) of the registered holder(s) exactly as it appears on the register of ADS holders without any alteration or change whatsoever. In the case of joint registered holders, each person must sign the ADS subscription form in accordance with the foregoing.

The original signed ADS subscription form must be delivered to the ADS rights agent.
In all cases your daytime telephone number should be included in the space indicated on your ADS subscription form so that, if necessary, the ADS rights agent may call you for further instructions.

Exhibit 99.7
Nabriva Announces Terms of Rights Offering
VIENNA, Austria and KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., November 29, 2016 (NASDAQ: NBRV) Nabriva Therapeutics AG announced today the terms of its rights offering for up to 588,127 common shares, including common shares represented by American Depositary Shares (ADSs), to its existing common shareholders and ADS holders. The record date of the rights offering is November 29, 2016. Holders of common shares on the record date are entitled to exercise statutory rights to subscribe for new common shares to maintain their proportionate ownership interest in Nabriva in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Austrian Stock Corporation Act. Each ADS represents one tenth (1/10) of a common share.
Pursuant to the rights offering:
· Holders of ADSs on the record date received 0.276 ADS rights for each ADS owned on that date. One ADS right entitles an ADS holder to subscribe for and purchase one new ADS at the U.S. dollar equivalent of 4.014 per ADS. Based on a euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.00 to $1.0588, Nabriva estimates that subscription price at $4.25 per ADS. To subscribe for new ADSs, a holder of ADS rights must pay to The Bank of New York Mellon, as ADS rights agent, $4.68 per ADS so subscribed, which represents 110% of the estimated subscription price to account for currency conversion expense, ADS issuance fees payable to the depositary for the ADSs and potential fluctuations in the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar. On or about December 13, 2016, the ADS rights agent will determine the actual U.S. dollar ADS subscription price by converting the euro subscription price into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate assigned by it on that date. Fractional ADS rights will not be issued, and ADS right entitlements will be reduced to the next smaller whole number of ADS rights. Rights to purchase ADSs in the offering are not transferrable.
· The ADS rights exercise period will begin on November 30, 2016 and end at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 12, 2016, which is the ADS rights expiration date. Following the ADS rights expiration date, the ADS rights will expire and have no further value.
· Holders of common shares will have the common share right to subscribe for and purchase 0.276 new common shares, at a subscription price of 40.14 per new common share, for each common share owned of record on the record date. No fractional common shares will be issued and common share right entitlements will be reduced to the next smaller whole number of common shares. Except to the extent otherwise provided under Austrian law, the common share rights will not be transferable.
· The common share rights exercise period will begin on November 30, 2016 and end at 5:00 p.m. (Vienna time) on December 14, 2016, which is the common share rights expiration date. Following the common share rights expiration date, the common share rights will expire and have no further value.
If any new common shares are not subscribed for pursuant to the common share rights and ADS rights described above, following the expiration of the offering of such common share rights and ADS rights, Nabriva may, at the discretion of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., based on market conditions and demand, enter into an underwriting agreement pursuant to which Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. would agree to subscribe for and purchase up to all of the unsubscribed common shares at a purchase price of 40.14 per common share for purposes of resale of ADSs representing the unsubscribed common shares. However, entry into an underwriting agreement for all or a portion of the unsubscribed shares remains at the discretion of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. is not obligated to purchase all or any of the unsubscribed common shares. In the event that Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Nabriva do enter into an underwriting agreement for unsubscribed shares, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. may sell ADSs at variable prices, which may be more or less than the purchase price.
Nabriva is attempting to raise up to $25.0 million, before fees and offering expenses payable by the company. Nabriva plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital and pre-commercial activities.
Nabriva reserves the right to cancel or terminate the rights offering at any time.
A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with and declared effective by with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The rights offering is being made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, copies of which may be obtained from Georgeson LLC, Nabrivas Information Agent, at 866-278-8941 or by writing to Georgeson LLC at 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 9th Floor, New York, New York 10104 or by e-mail at Nabriva@georgeson.com.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there by any sale of, these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification of these securities under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
