AGM Statement

York, U.K. 19 December 2022: Abingdon Health plc (AIM: ABDX), a leading international developer and manufacturer of high quality, rapid diagnostic tests, will hold its Annual General Meeting at 9.30 a.m. today at the offices of Abingdon Health, York Biotech Campus, Sand Hutton, York, YO41 1LZ.

Chris Yates, Chief Executive Officer, will address the meeting with the following statement:

"We updated shareholders recently with the announcement of our preliminary results for the year ended 30 June 2022. In those statements we outlined the strategic focus we now have on our Contract Development and Manufacturing ("CDMO") services, given the anticipated growth in demand we expect to see within the lateral flow market, particularly in non-COVID-19 sectors such as human health, animal health, plant pathogen and environmental testing.

"Our outlook going into 2023 is unchanged, and we remain confident that our contract services customer base and current growing pipeline mean we are well positioned to grow our business. We are also reassured by our cash levels of £4.4m as at 19 December 2022, in line with the cash position as at the end of October 2022 and expect to have circa £4.3m cash at the end of December. The Board remains confident that we have sufficient cash resources to fund progress beyond the next 12 months, with our priority being to move the Company to a positive cash flow position."
