Flex Work Arrangements
The Company considers flexible work hours a viable alternative work arrangement in cases where individual, job, and managerial characteristics are best suited to such an arrangement. Flexible work hours provide flexibility from standard work hours and may be appropriate for some Employees and some jobs, but not appropriate for others given the nature of the work that is performed. A flexible work hours arrangement is not an entitlement, nor a Company-wide benefit, and in no way changes an Employees terms and conditions with the Company.
Employee Referral Bonus Program
The Company recognizes that one of the most effective ways to find the right people for our Company is through the people who know it best our Employees.
The Company encourages Employee assistance in the recruitment of high quality, new Employees through Employee referrals and rewards Employees for making such referrals, as we value our people and we value your contribution to our business. That is why we have introduced the Employee Referral Bonus Program, which is designed to reward you whenever you successfully refer a candidate for a position at the Company.
All Regular Full-Time and Part-Time Employees of the Company who are paid via the Companys Canadian payroll may participate in this program with the exception of Employees within the Human Resources Department, and the respective Hiring Manager of a position and any of their direct reports.

Flexible work hours provide flexibility from standard work hours and may be appropriate for some Employees and some jobs, but not appropriate for others given the nature of the work that is performed. A flexible work hours arrangement is not an entitlement, nor a Company-wide benefit, and in no way changes an Employees terms and conditions with the Company.

The Company recognizes that one of the most effective ways to find the right people for our Company is through the people who know it best our Employees.
The Company encourages Employee assistance in the recruitment of high quality, new Employees through Employee referrals and rewards Employees for making such referrals, as we value our people and we value your contribution to our business. That is why we have introduced the Employee Referral Bonus Program, which is designed to reward you whenever you successfully refer a candidate for a position at the Company.
All Regular Full-Time and Part-Time Employees of the Company who are paid via the Companys Canadian payroll may participate in this program with the exception of Employees within the Human Resources Department, and the respective Hiring Manager of a position and any of their direct reports.

Merck Serono Acquires Manufacturing Rights and Facility for Stimuvax from Oncothyreon
| Acquisition gives Merck Serono full control of the manufacturing process and reduces the royalties payable on future sales of the product |
Darmstadt, December 19, 2008 Merck Serono, a division of Merck KGaA, announced today that it has modified the license from Oncothyreon to include the right to manufacture Stimuvax® (BLP25 liposome vaccine) and also has purchased current inventory and certain assets used for the manufacture of Stimuvax from Oncothyreon Inc. (Nasdaq: ONTY) (TSX:ONY) for a total amount of approximately US$13 million. Merck Serono already held the clinical development and commercialization rights for Stimuvax under license from Oncothyreon.
Stimuvax is a therapeutic vaccine in Phase III clinical development for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is the first investigational vaccine in unresectable stage III NSCLC to enter Phase III clinical testing (the START study).
In conjunction with this transaction, EMD Serono Canada Inc., an affiliate of Merck KGaA, has assumed control of Oncothyreons facility in Edmonton, Canada, which is primarily utilized for the manufacture and development of Stimuvax. Merck Serono now has responsibility for development of the commercial-scale manufacturing process. EMD Serono Canada intends to offer employment to the majority of Oncothyreons 52 employees in Edmonton.
Merck Seronos acquisition of manufacturing rights for Stimuvax reflects our confidence in its future role in the treatment of cancer and also our commitment to expanding our oncology portfolio so that we can continue to provide oncologists and patients with innovative treatment options, said Hanns-Eberhard Erle, Executive Vice President Technical Operations, Merck Serono, a division of Merck KGaA.
In addition, with the Edmonton facility we are proud to be adding a group of experienced and dedicated individuals to our workforce who will form a vital arm of the team that supports the ongoing development of Stimuvax, Erle continued.
The transfer of Stimuvax manufacturing rights has required the license agreement between Merck Serono and Oncothyreon to be amended and restated. While potential payments upon achievement of certain milestones under the previous agreements between Merck Serono and Oncothyreon
+ | DESIGNATES PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT THAT HAVE BEEN OMITTED PURSUANT TO A REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION |
MERCK SERONO
remain unchanged, the royalty rates payable to Oncothyreon on future net sales are reduced. While the previous agreements already included some limited manufacturing rights, the new agreement provides Merck Serono with the full rights.
We believe that the license of manufacturing rights for Stimuvax to Merck Serono is in the best interest of the development of this product, said Robert L. Kirkman, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Oncothyreon. Merck Serono will be able to bring its resources and manufacturing expertise to the development of a commercial manufacturing process for Stimuvax, which has become a key component of its oncology pipeline. At Oncothyreon we will be able to focus our resources on our proprietary pipeline of targeted small molecules in oncology.
About Stimuvax

Stimuvax is being developed in Europe by Merck KGaA and in the United States by its affiliate, EMD Serono Inc.
START is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate patients with documented unresectable stage IIIA or IIIB NSCLC who have had a response or stable disease after at least two cycles of platinum-based chemo-radiotherapy The study will involve more than 1,300 patients in approximately 30 countries.

The royalty rates payable to Oncothyreon on future net sales of Stimuvax, if any, have been adjusted to reflect that Oncothyreon is no longer responsible for these costs. Potential payments upon achievement of certain milestones under the previous agreements between Merck KGaA and Oncothyreon remain unchanged. The previously existing collaboration and supply agreements have been replaced by an amended and restated license agreement.
We believe that the license of manufacturing rights for Stimuvax to Merck KGaA is in the best interest of both Oncothyreon and the development of this product, said Robert L. Kirkman, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Oncothyreon. Merck KGaA will be able to bring its resources and manufacturing expertise to the development of a commercial manufacturing process for Stimuvax, which has become a key component of its oncology pipeline. At Oncothyreon we will be able focus our resources on our proprietary pipeline of targeted small molecules in oncology, while retaining our substantial economic upside if Stimuvax is commercialized.
We are also very pleased that EMD Serono Canada will offer employment to most of our Edmonton employees, continued Dr. Kirkman. This group has worked with dedication and enthusiasm to bring Stimuvax to its current stage, and we are grateful that Merck KGaA has recognized the knowledge and expertise they will bring to the ongoing development of this exciting product.
Merck Seronos acquisition of manufacturing rights for Stimuvax reflects our confidence in its future role in the treatment of cancer and also our commitment to expanding our oncology portfolio so that we can continue to provide oncologists and patients with innovative treatment options, said Hanns-Eberhard Erle, Executive Vice President Technical Operations, Merck

In addition, with the Edmonton facility we are proud to be adding a group of experienced and dedicated individuals to our workforce who will form a vital arm of the team that supports the ongoing development of Stimuvax, Erle continued.
About Stimuvax
Stimuvax is an investigational therapeutic cancer vaccine designed to induce an immune response to cancer cells that express MUC1, a glycoprotein antigen widely expressed on common cancers. MUC1 is over-expressed on many cancers such as lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer. Stimuvax is thought to work by stimulating the bodys immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells expressing MUC1. Merck KGaA currently is conducting a global Phase 3 trial of Stimuvax known as START (Stimulating Targeted Antigenic Responses To NSCLC). START is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will evaluate patients with documented unresectable stage III NSCLC who have had a response or stable disease after at least two cycles of platinum-based chemo-radiotherapy. The Phase 3 trial is expected to enroll more than 1,300 patients in over 30 countries. For more information on the START trial, or to find a participating center and eligibility criteria, log on to www.nsclcstudy.com or www.clinicaltrials.gov.
