Flamel Technologies Announces Results of Annual Meeting
Lyon, France — June 3, 2008 — Flamel Technologies S.A. (NASDAQ: FLML) today announced the
results of its annual meeting held on June 3, 2008. The election of each member of the Board of
Directors of the Company for a further one-year term was approved by holders of more than 98% of
the Company’s shares. Each additional resolution proposed favorably by management at the meeting
was approved by holders of more than 93% of the Company’s shares.
As a consequence, shareholders re-elected Flamel’s Board of Directors. Mr. Elie Vannier, the
Senior Advisor and Operating Partner at Oaktree Capital Management, will continue to serve as the
Company’s non-Executive Chairman. Also re-elected to the Company’s Board of Directors were: Mr.

Fildes, PhD., former Senior Vice President: Head of Global Drug Development of Astra Zeneca PLC;
Mr. Frederic Lemoine, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of AREVA, Mr. John Vogelstein, former
President of Warburg Pincus; and Mr. Stephen H. Willard, Flamel’s Chief Executive Officer.
“We are pleased to have the strong support of our shareholders,” said Mr. Elie Vannier,
non-Executive Chairman of Flamel. “As a result of the progress made by our teams under the
leadership of Stephen Willard and Rafael Jorda, Flamel has achieved some important successes over
the past year which have served to strengthen the Medusa platform. As a result, the Company has
signed important agreements with Merck Serono and Wyeth and has another eight Medusa feasibility
studies in development with other partners. These relationships, together with the good
relationship that the Company enjoys with GlaxoSmithKline for Coreg CR, as well as other Micropump
ongoing programs, including TriggerLock®, serve as a strong foundation for the Company’s growth
going forward.”
