Concepta signs first distributor agreement in China
Concepta Plc (AIM: CPT), the pioneering UK healthcare company and developer of a proprietary platform and suite of products targeted at the personalised mobile health market with a primary focus on women's fertility and specifically unexplained infertility, is pleased to announce that it signed a distributor agreement with Beijing ThinkBrio Medical Technology Consulting Co., Ltd (''ThinkBrio'').
The agreement covers an initial three year period, and relates exclusively to the distribution of the myLotus range of products within LiaoNing province in China. If successful Concepta intends to seek extension of the agreement with ThinkBrio to cover further Chinese territories.
The CEO of ThinkBrio, Mr Liu Wei, has an extensive background in Public Relations and was previously involved with the launch of Viagra in China. These attributes, together with the strong backing of the Beijing Maternity Hospital Group, combine medical endorsement and consumer understanding to provide women in China with innovative products to help them with unexplained infertility.
Erik Henau, CEO of Concepta says: "Mr Liu has had a lot of experience with the development of our organisation in China and, through lengthy discussions and preparations, has built up a great understanding of the need for our products and how to promote and sell them in the region. This initial agreement offers us the opportunity to evaluate our logistics chain and marketing activities. It will allow us to gather data and experience for discussions with further distributors in China down the line and will help us to fine-tune our strategy for expanding manufacturing capacity."
Liu Wei, CEO of ThinkBrio says: "The myLotus products are unique and will be a great help to many women in China. We look forward to working with Concepta to develop their presence in the Chinese infertility market. We have already conducted rigorous testing of the products prior to launch and we are now in the final stages of hospital evaluations – after which we can begin commercialisation of myLotus in China."

About Concepta Plc:
Concepta plc is a pioneering UK healthcare company that has developed a proprietary platform and products targeted at the personalised mobile health market with a primary focus on women's fertility and specifically unexplained infertility*.
Founded in 2013, Concepta has developed a revolutionary flagship product 'myLotus' for home self-testing that helps women with unexplained infertility to conceive.
myLotus is the only consumer product which allows both quantitative and qualitative measurements of a woman's personal hCG and LH hormone levels in an easy to use home test to facilitate higher conception rates and early diagnosis of any fertility problems. Competitor products currently only allow qualitative measurement and are based on the 'average woman'.
Concepta has a defined route to market for its new 'myLotus' product with Regulatory approvals for launch in China in place for H1 2017 and CE-Marking for UK and Europe to follow later in 2017. The revenue potential of the Chinese and EU infertility market is worth c.£600m per annum for the company.
*Unexplained infertility refers to women that have been unable to conceive after 6 months of trying. This highly motivated target group of consumers won't typically be offered medical intervention until 12 months of unsuccessfully trying, with IVF not offered until two years. Research indicates couples start to take positive action ahead of this time and there is little medical support to help them do so.

TLA appointed by New Zealand Rugby for 125th Anniversary Match
World Champions, the All Blacks, will play the Barbarians at Twickenham to celebrate 125th anniversary of New Zealand Rugby
TLA Worldwide plc (AIM: TLA), a leading athlete representation and sports marketing business, is pleased to announce that it has been appointed by New Zealand Rugby ("NZR") as their partner to manage and deliver their 125th anniversary match in November this year.
The match will see current World Champions, the All Blacks, celebrate the 125th anniversary of NZR with a special commemorative game against the Barbarians at Twickenham on Saturday the 4th of November, for the opening game of their 2017 end-of-year Northern Tour. It will be the first time the All Blacks have returned to Twickenham since winning the Rugby World Cup in 2015.
As the event agency, TLA's role will be to organise and deliver all aspects of the match, and it is a continuation of a strong working relationship between the two organisations. Previous matches organised by TLA in partnership with New Zealand Rugby include the two sell out All Blacks matches in Chicago, against the USA in 2014 and Ireland in 2016.
The game will mark the 11th time that the Barbarians and the All Blacks have played in their history. The All Blacks have won seven of the previous outings, with the Barbarians winning on two occasions and one draw. The All Blacks last played the Barbarians in 2009 and will be looking to avenge a 25-18 loss in a match that saw South African Bryan Habana score a hat-trick of tries.
Steve Tew, CEO of NZR, said: "We are delighted to announce the match against the Barbarians. Like the All Blacks, the Barbarians are part of rugby's rich history and the match later this year is a befitting way to mark our 125th anniversary. Playing the Barbarians is always a special occasion and we think our shared history make this game the most appropriate way to mark our milestone."
Barbarians President Micky Steele-Bodger said: "We're thrilled to be renewing one of rugby's great rivalries at Twickenham on November 4 and we believe it will be another classic encounter between two famous teams. The Barbarians expect to bring together some of the world's greatest players to take on the All Blacks and to play with the style and attacking flair that the club's traditions demand."
Bart Campbell, TLA Chairman, said: "We look forward to working with the All Blacks again for what will be a showpiece event at Twickenham. A game between the World Champions and the Barbarians will highlight the best rugby has to offer. This match demonstrates our excellent relationship with New Zealand Rugby, whom we are delighted to partner with for this anniversary match, which is another endorsement in our ability to deliver quality sporting events."

Admission and First Day of Dealings
N4 Pharma Plc (AIM: N4P), a specialist pharmaceutical company which reformulates existing drugs and vaccines to improve their performance, is pleased to announce the readmission today of the Company's ordinary shares to trading on AIM and the commencement of dealings in the New Ordinary Shares under the ticker N4P ("Admission").
Summary:
· Change of name to N4 Pharma Plc (formerly Onzima Ventures Plc) effective
· £1.5 million (gross) raised by way of a placing of 21,428,571 New Ordinary Shares at 7p per share
· The number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately after Admission will be 71,714,258 giving the Company a market capitalisation of £5 million at the placing price of 7p per ordinary share
· The net proceeds of the placing will be used to fund development of additional patent applications for reformulations of a wide range of generic drugs, to undertake clinical trials for N4 Pharma's reformulation of sildenafil, commonly known as Viagra, and for working capital purposes
Defined terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as in the Company's admission document published on 13 April 2017, copies of which are available at: www.n4pharma.com
Nigel Theobald, CEO of N4 Pharma, commented: "I am delighted that the acquisition has been completed after what has been a difficult few months for Onzima's shareholders. Today's listing on AIM marks an important milestone in the continued growth of N4 Pharma and I am determined to reward the patience of existing shareholders and look forward to rewarding those new shareholders who have joined us as part of the Admission.
"Reformulating drugs that are either off patent or coming off patent enables us to improve the experience for their end users in a number of potential ways, but in so doing ensuring we have patent protection around these new versions of the products. Our immediate focus is on the reformulation of sildenafil, commonly known as Viagra, for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, a market which had global annual sales in 2016 of approximately $4.6 billion* and more will follow in the coming months.
"The Board has extensive experience in this field, both from a pharmaceutical and commercial point of view and, in Opal IP, we have the ideal partner for our patent work.

About N4 Pharma
N4 Pharma was formed in 2014 by Nigel Theobald, the former Chief Executive of AIM quoted Oxford Pharmascience Group plc. It is a specialist pharmaceutical company which reformulates existing drugs and vaccines to improve their performance.
N4 Pharma's reformulation work falls under two divisions:
• generic, already commercialised, drugs; and
• delivery of novel and existing vaccines.
N4 Pharma has identified a number of established drugs that could be improved upon through its reformulation techniques. N4 Pharma's most advanced reformulation is for sildenafil, widely marketed as Viagra, where N4 Pharma is seeking to improve the speed at which the drug takes effect whilst also extending its duration of action.
N4 Pharma's reformulation approach should take approximately three years to obtain regulatory approval as opposed to the traditional process for new drugs of on average ten years. The cost and risk profile of this model is also significantly less than the traditional process. N4 Pharma's business model is to take reformulated drugs from its portfolio through to the stage where it will license its newly reformulated drugs to pharmaceutical companies to commercialise them. N4 Pharma's revenues should be derived from up front milestone and royalty payments associated with the licence.

Notes to Editors
EU Supply is the UK holding company of the EU Supply Group, a Sweden-based e-commerce business, which has an established, market-leading, multilingual e-procurement platform for esourcing, e-tendering and contract management, tailored for the highly regulated European public sector market.
Since 2006, the Group has invested heavily in employing specialist programmers to add functionality, legal compliance as required and security features to its Complete Tender Management™ ("CTM™") platform to ensure that the Group is ideally placed to secure new contracts with EU Member States and their Contracting Authorities. The platform is available in 16 different languages.
The Directors believe that the Group's CTM™ platform is one of the easiest to use and most functionally advanced solutions available in the market. The CTM™ platform is used by over 7,000 European public sector bodies in 9 EU/EEC Member States and has National Procurement System status in four Member States (the UK, Ireland, Norway and Lithuania).
The Company's shares were admitted to trading on AIM in November 2013. In August and September 2015, the Company raised a total of £2.061m (before expenses) through a placing of new shares and the issue of first and second tranches of Convertible Loan Notes to institutional and other investors.
