Significant Contract Win and New Partnership

Crimson Tide Plc (TIDE) is delighted to announce both a substantial new contract win and, separately, an expansive strategic partnership with Cisco Meraki. The new client is a market leading contract catering company, who will be using mpro5 to digitise all their daily logbooks to ensure the highest standards of food safety are met for their clients.

Data visualisation via custom built Microsoft Power BI dashboards, will provide invaluable real-time insights for the client and empower the business to make more informed decisions in their operations.

The fully digitised solution will be rolled out across the client's several hundred UK sites. The total subscription contract value exceeds £400,000 across its initial term.

The new strategic partnership presents great opportunities for both the Company and Cisco Meraki. Crimson Tide's platform, mpro5, turns Cisco Meraki Internet of Things (IoT) products into solutions for its customers, leveraging data gathered from sensors and smart cameras for automation, action, visibility and business insight.

This combined solution is highly versatile and can be deployed in a variety of contexts – mpro5 has been productised for the Cisco Meraki marketplace, featuring Smart Schools, Stations, Data Centres, Coffee Shops & Quick Service Restaurants and Buildings. The marketplace listing is available to all Cisco Meraki partners, providing scope for further opportunities and partnerships.

Both parties expect this partnership to allow them to deliver comprehensive and effective solutions for their current customer base and reseller network, as well as new prospects globally.

Barrie Whipp, Chairman, commented: "Our contract win continues to demonstrate the value of mpro5 in catering, an area where we now have a great understanding of the standards required in health and safety. The key to our offering is the level of service we offer to our clients on an ongoing basis. I am particularly pleased with the new partnership with Cisco Meraki. Their global reach and the availability of the Cisco Meraki marketplace means that mpro5 is now able to reach markets outside our traditional geographies. We look forward to implementing mpro5 with Cisco Meraki sensors in a wide range of vertical markets"

PDS Phase 2 Trial Update

 

PDS Biotech Announces Preliminary Efficacy Achievement in VERSATILE-002 Phase 2 Trial of PDS0101 in Combination With KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in Advanced Head and Neck Cancer

 

London, UK – 2 February 2022  – NetScientific plc (AIM: NSCI), the international life sciences and sustainability technology investment and commercialisation Group, announces that its portfolio company, PDS Biotechnology Corporation (Nasdaq: PDSB), announced that its VERSATILE-002 Phase 2 study for the treatment of advanced human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated head and neck cancer achieved its preliminary objective response benchmarks.

The trial, which studies PDS0101 in combination with Merck's anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab), will now progress to full enrolment of 54 patients in this group of checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) naïve patients. As pre-specified in the clinical trial design, the achievement of an objective response as measured by radiographic tumour responses according to RECIST 1.1 (tumour reduction of 30% or more) confirmed by two separate measurements among at least four or more of the first 17 patients in the CPI naïve arm allows that arm to progress to full enrolment. We anticipate these data will be presented in more detail at an upcoming medical conference. 

VERSATILE-002, being conducted in collaboration with Merck (known as MSD outside the US and Canada), is being studied in two groups of HPV16-positive head and neck cancer patients whose cancer has returned or spread. The first group have not been previously treated with a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI naïve). An initial assessment of the combination in a second group of 21 patients who have failed prior therapy with checkpoint inhibitors (CPI refractory) is ongoing.  

Dr. Jared Weiss, Section Chief of Thoracic and Head and Neck Oncology at the University of Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine and Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Centre, is serving as the Lead Principal Investigator of VERSATILE-002.

Dr. Lauren V. Wood, MD, Chief Medical Officer of PDS Biotech said: " The achievement of this important milestone in the VERSATILE-002 Phase 2 clinical trial strengthens the evidence of our novel Versamune® platform's potential ability to induce high levels of tumor-specific CD8+ killer T-cells that attack the cancer to achieve tumor regression.

"The initial data solidifies our belief that PDS0101's demonstrated preclinical efficacy when combined with KEYTRUDA® has the potential to significantly improve clinical outcomes for patients with advanced HPV16-positive head and neck cancers."

Dr. Ilian Iliev, CEO of NetScientific, commented: "The move to full patient recruitment in this Phase 2 trial is a very meaningful step in PDS' Phase 2 trial. We look forward to the company's continued progress on its multiple clinical programmes."

28 January 2022

ACP ENERGY PLC

("ACP" or "the Company")

Admission to Trading on London Stock Exchange & First Day of Dealings

ACP Energy Plc is a newly formed company set to capture value accretive opportunities in the oil & gas industry.  The Company is pleased to announce that admission to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market, Standard Segment, via a Special Purpose Acquisition Company ("SPAC"), will take place and dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. today under the ticker ACPE.L.

Paul Welch, ACP Energy Plc's Chairman, commented:

"We are very pleased to have successfully listed ACP on the London Stock Exchange, via a Special Purpose Acquisition Company.  ACP is focused on acquiring hydrocarbon producing assets that are either in production or near to production, bringing swift cash flow generation and ensuring early business stability.  Whilst listing is an important milestone, we now begin the work of bringing our collective experience to bear in identifying significant acquisition opportunities upon which we can grow the business.  At a time of transition in the energy markets, there remains a significant global demand for new sources of oil and gas.  Throughout this period, the Board is committed to the highest standards of Environmental, Social and Governance practices and looks forward to providing further updates to the market in due course."

 

Strategy

 

The Company will focus on acquiring opportunities within the upstream segment of the oil and gas industry, in areas such as appraisal, development and production, focusing particularly on projects with identified oil and/or natural gas reserves and resources. 

 

The Company has identified the following criteria for the purpose of reviewing and evaluating opportunities:

· Sectoral Focus: ACP intends to focus on opportunities in the upstream oil and natural gas sector. The Company will have a particular focus on producing assets, that require additional investment to increase the production and reserves base. The Company believes that there are significant opportunities in the upstream oil and gas sector and, in particular, existing producing assets that will generate value for Shareholders.  ACP, together with its advisers, has extensive global networks within the sector from which to solicit and assess opportunities.

 

· Development Profile: The Company intends to focus on producing assets that have not received sufficient investment capital due to either local fiscal issues or previous downturns in commodity prices. Such assets will likely have had some development work undertaken to establish a minimum base of production or resource which, for whatever reason, now requires further funding, in order to either fully develop the opportunity or to either return it to or increase its production.  ACP therefore expects to focus on opportunities where the asset will be revenue generating, either immediately upon acquisition or within a reasonable timeframe following completion of the work program.  The Company believes that this strategy will balance investment risk against generating long-term shareholder value.

· Geography:   The Company does not propose to limit its search to any specific geographic location; however, the geographic location of any investment opportunity will be suitable for institutional investment within the London market.  The assets may be located anywhere in the world, but the Company will primarily be looking at opportunities in proven hydrocarbon producing jurisdictions with established oil and gas infrastructure. 

 

· Opportunity Identification : The Company, through its broad range of contacts plans to identify, originate, structure and finance oil and gas transactions that generate value for its shareholders.  The Company will use its internal research to identify and assess potential opportunities and will then initiate discussions directly or via market contacts and professional advisers.

 

· Operator: Following the completion of an Acquisition, the objective of the Company is to be involved in the operations of the acquired business.  The Company envisions that additional opportunities will be available to it by taking an active role in the management through appraisal activity, operational improvements, capacity expansions and funding working capital.  Operational management is anticipated to provide superior insight into a particular sector or operating region allowing value accretive complementary acquisitions to be made.

 

· Value Creation: The Company's long-term aim is to create shareholder value by investing in projects with dependable cashflows and build a portfolio where there is large potential upside in value by providing vital finance and expertise enabling an asset or business to achieve its full potential. ACP is committed to the highest standards of governance and to fulfilling its corporate responsibilities by making meaningful economic and social contributions in the areas where it operates.

N4 Pharma PLC

25 January 2022

N4 Pharma Plc

("N4 Pharma" or the "Company")

Oncology work programme update

N4 Pharma Plc (AIM: N4P), the specialist pharmaceutical company developing Nuvec®, a novel delivery system for cancer treatments and vaccines, is pleased to provide details of its work plan following the encouraging data from its oncology research as announced on 13 December 2021.

The Board is delighted that the studies conducted with Nanomerics to evaluate the potential of Nuvec® as a nano-carrier of a DNA plasmid expressing TNFalpha ("TNF"), a cytokine with immune-modulating properties against tumours, demonstrated a significant inhibition of tumour growth derived from a human cell line.

As a result of these positive findings, the Company has commenced work with Medicines Discovery Catapult* ("Catapult") to extend the observations to allow it to identify suitable loads to add to Nuvec® to take to clinic. To date, the Company has established that Nuvec® can deliver an appropriate biological load and this new study will help determine the mechanism of action that produced the tumor suppression. Amongst other things, it will seek to identify whether the Nuvec® loaded with TNF alpha was directly taken up by the tumour cells to produce the active TNF within the tumour or whether other organs such as the liver took up the Nuvec® and produced the TNF and released it systemically to suppress the tumour. If it can be demonstrated that Nuvec® can selectively deliver the plasmid to the tumour this may indicate the potential use of Nuvec® to deliver to tumours with a reduced systemic effect and inform the scope of any clinical studies or collaboration discussions. In addition, studies will use labelled Nuvec® particles to allow the organ and tissue distribution of Nuvec® to be followed. 

The Company is also in the process of identifying alternatives to TNF as immunomodulators or gene therapy which may use Nuvec® as a delivery system. The selection process is expected to conclude shortly and the Company intends to conduct a study programme similar to the work being undertaken using TNF.

 

All current and planned work streams are to be funded from existing resources and the Company remains well funded for 2022.

Nigel Theobald, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented : " We are delighted that our successful work in formulating Nuvec® as a monodispersed formulation that can be freeze dried and reconstituted has opened up the opportunity for the Company to use Nuvec® via intravenous injection and to develop products using Nuvec® as a nano-carrier of nucleotides including DNA, RNA, SiRNA with specific clinical use in oncology, gene therapy and protein replacement.

"The oncology, gene therapy and protein replacement markets are very large and attracting significant and varied interest.  Based on our current data, these markets provide the Company with the quickest route to bring products into clinical trials, far quicker than using it for vaccines. With our vaccine work now continuing through MTAs, our primary focus is on these studies with Catapult and advancing our data set to a meaningful inflexion point in the coming months and I look forward to providing updates to the market in due course."
