 Notes to Editors:

Open Orphan is a rapidly growing European full pharmaceutical services company with a focus on orphan drug and specialist services, comprising two commercial specialist CRO services businesses (Venn and hVIVO) and a developing early stage orphan drug genomics data platform business capturing valuable genetic data from patient populations with specific diseases with designated orphan drug status and incorporating AI tools.  In June 2019, Open Orphan acquired AIM-listed Venn Life Sciences Holdings plc in a reverse take-over and in January 2020 it completed the Merger with hVIVO plc. Venn, as an integrated drug development consultancy, offers CMC (chemistry, manufacturing and controls), preclinical, phase I & II clinical trials design and execution.  hVIVO, as an industry leading services provider in viral challenge studies and vaccine and viral laboratory services, supports product development for customers developing antivirals, vaccines and respiratory therapeutics , all particularly relevant and topical in the environment of heightened awareness of the Coronavirus in 2020. The Merger with hVIVO created a European full pharma services company broadening the Company's customer base and with complementary specialist CRO services, widening the range of the Company's service offerings.
