NEW YORK, June 24, 2021 - Renalytix AI plc (LSE: RENX) (NASDAQ: RNLX) announces it has changed its name to Renalytix Plc.

The Company expects that the change of name will take effect on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange from 8.00 a.m. on 25 June 2021. The Company's TIDM will remain the same as will the ISIN and SEDOL connected with the Company's shares.

The Company has also changed its registered office to Finsgate, 5-7 Cranwood Street, London EC1V 9EE.

About Kidney Disease

Kidney disease is now recognized as a public health epidemic affecting over 850 million people globally. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 15% of US adults, or 37 million people, currently have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Further, the CDC reports that 9 out of 10 adults with CKD do not know they have it and one out of two people with very low kidney function who are not on dialysis do not know they have CKD.¹ Kidney disease is referred to as a "silent killer" because it often has no symptoms and can go undetected until a very advanced stage. Each year kidney disease kills more people than breast and prostate cancer. Every day, 13 patients in the United States die while waiting for a kidney transplant.
