Additional agreement with Fosun Pharma for CTX

Progression with Fosun Pharma underscores commitment to CTX stroke disability programme

ReNeuron Group plc (AIM: RENE), a UK-based leader in Stem cell and Exosome Technologies, announces that following on from the original Fosun Pharma ("Fosun") licensing agreement announced on 9 April 2019, the Company has signed an additional agreement with Fosun, on 5 January 2022, setting out the first steps in the potential technology transfer of the CTX drug product for the stroke disability programme.

The agreement allows for £320,000 to be invoiced on signing with further payments expected, based on services and CTX cell bank vials to be supplied by ReNeuron in the future, although these are contingent on signing a supplemental payment terms agreement which is currently under discussion.

ReNeuron will update the market further once agreement on these terms have been reached.

Olav Hellebø, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "We are pleased to announce progress in the technology transfer of the CTX drug product to Fosun and believe this highlights the commitment Fosun has to the programme in Greater China."
