Dear Mr. Riedler,

On behalf of our client, Affimed Therapeutics B.V., a Dutch private company with limited liability (the “Company”), we are providing the information that follows to the Staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in response to comment number 16 contained in the Staff’s letter dated June 19, 2014 (the “Comment Letter”) relating to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1, filed on June 27, 2014 (the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the initial public offering of the Company’s common shares (the “Offering”).

We hereby provide the following proposed preliminary price range information relating to the Offering for the Commission’s review. The initial offering price to the public of the Company’s common shares (the “Common Shares”) is expected to be between [***Redacted***] per share. The actual price range to be included in the Company’s preliminary prospectus (which will comply with the Staff’s interpretation regarding the parameters of a bona fide price range) has not yet been finally determined and remains subject to adjustment based on factors outside of the Company’s control. However, the Company believes that the foregoing indicative price range will not be subject to significant change and that the bona fide price range stated in the preliminary prospectus will be within the range provided above.

The Company respectfully advises the Staff that there were no grants under the Company’s 2007 equity stock option plan during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 or during 2014.
