Midatech Announces Successful Initial Scale-Up of Its Sustained Release Manufacturing Facility
~ Q-Octreotide will become Midatech's first Sustained Release product candidate manufactured in house at its state-of-the-art facility in Bilbao, Spain ~
Midatech Pharma (AIM: MTPH, Nasdaq: MTP), the international specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercialising products in oncology, is pleased to announce the successful initial scale-up and regulatory inspection of its state-of-the-art manufacturing site in Bilbao, Spain.
The manufacturing facility currently produces all Midatech's gold nanoparticle (GNP) products. Now in addition the Company has installed facilities, equipment and quality assurance systems for in-house manufacturing of its Sustained Release (Q-Sphera) products, at scale.
This new facility has been successfully inspected by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS), and a formal Sustained Release sterile manufacturing licence will be granted upon completion of final process validation which is currently underway.
The first sustained release product to be produced at the Bilbao facility is anticipated to be Q-Octreotide (MTD201), Midatech's in-development programme for the treatment of acromegaly and carcinoid syndrome, which is planned to commence a Phase I study and follow-on regulatory program later in 2017, with anticipated approval and launch expected in 2018/19.
Commenting on the announcement, Dr. Jim Phillips, Chief Executive Officer of Midatech Pharma said: "We are pleased with the successful scale-up of our Bilbao facility which was completed within budget, and has had a positive inspection and debrief by the AEMPS. Manufacturing our GNP and sustained release technologies in Bilbao allows us to control the process without being reliant on an external manufacturer, and all the investment, intellectual property and expertise will therefore be retained in-house. Furthermore, there will be significant cost efficiencies rather than outsourcing the manufacturing process to a third-party. This facility will provide for our requirements through to product launch, following which further scale up is planned to cover commercial supplies."
This announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 596/2014 (MAR).

Successful Clinical Results for Genedrive® HCV Assay
External Validation Studies Show Sensitivity of greater than 99% and Specificity of 100% for Hepatitis C Assay Designed for Decentralised Use in Resource Limited Settings
genedrive plc, the near patient molecular diagnostics company, today announces that it has successfully completed clinical validation studies to support a submission for CE regulatory approval of its Genedrive® HCV ID Kit.
The studies, performed at Institut Pasteur, Paris, and Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham, demonstrated an overall sensitivity of greater than 99% and specificity of 100% over a 955 sample cohort, comparing the test to the Abbott Molecular RealTime HCV Viral Load Assay. The Genedrive® HCV ID Kit sensitivity, specificity, and limit of detection meet the Target Product Profile specifications for decentralised use in resource limited settings, as outlined by the Foundation for Innovation in Diagnostics (FIND). The validation studies were supported by the European Commission FP7 PoC-HCV programme.
The HCV test is performed on the Company's Genedrive® portable molecular diagnostics platform, designed for use at the point of need. The assay uses only a small amount of human plasma (25ul), eliminating the need for a separate RNA viral extraction process, and yields results within 90 minutes.
"Recently approved direct acting antiviral therapies have revolutionised therapeutic options for treating HCV patients, however the challenge remains to identify infected persons, many of whom are living in geographic regions that lack access to state-of-the-art diagnostics," said Dr Darragh Duffy of the Institut Pasteur. "The Genedrive® HCV ID Kit is a rapid and simple to use point of need test that would enable real-time treatment and management of chronic HCV patients in decentralised settings."
"We are very pleased with the performance of the assay's sensitivity, specificity and speed. This presents the Genedrive® HCV test with the opportunity to be the first to market as a decentralised, qualitative, molecular HCV test," said David Budd, Chief Executive Officer of genedrive plc. "WHO HCV testing guidelines recommend the initiation of treatment with direct acting antiviral agents, following a qualitative or quantitative HCV molecular test. The Genedrive® HCV ID Kit is well placed to support the goal of increasing access to HCV diagnostics in decentralised laboratories in resource limited settings."
The Company anticipates submission for CE certification under the EU Medical Devices Directive for Genedrive® HCV ID Kit by the end of March 2017. CE certification is a key step toward product commercialisation later this year.

About Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C is an international public health challenge, comparable to other major communicable diseases, including HIV, tuberculosis and malaria. It is estimated that 150-200 million people, or approximately 3% of the world's population, are living with chronic hepatitis C, and more than 350,000 people die yearly from hepatitis C related diseases. In 2016, WHO published the first global health sector strategy on Hepatitis with a goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a major public health threat by 2030. New oral, well-tolerated treatment regimens can achieve cure rates of over 90% however access to rapid, inexpensive and accurate diagnostics are a critical bottleneck that must be addressed to eradicate Hepatitis C.

TLA Baseball Offseason and Earn-out Update
TLA Worldwide plc (AIM: TLA), a leading athlete representation and sports marketing business, is pleased to report that its Baseball division has negotiated a total of $237m in offseason contracts, on behalf of its clients, (2016 offseason: $174m) to date which the Group expects to increase further as the offseason contract period comes to an end. This is a record performance for the Baseball division and highlights its strong position following the investment made in 2016. Offseason contracts are calculated before any performance based incentives which may be earned by TLA's Baseball clients in 2017 and beyond.
TLA has also agreed to amend the earn-outs and extend the employment agreements (the "Agreements") for the principals of LS Legacy Sports LLC ("Legacy") and Peter E. Greenberg and Associates Ltd ("PEG") as described below. The Agreements were entered into on 4 March 2017.
TLA acquired the leading baseball representation businesses, Legacy and PEG, in December 2011 and November 2012, respectively, forming the Group's Baseball division. Both entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Group and for the year ended 31 December 2015 the Baseball division generated operating income of $13.8m and headline EBITDA of $6.8m.
The original earn-outs with the principals of Legacy and PEG covered the five-year period following their acquisitions. These have been replaced with amended and extended earn-out arrangements covering additional five-year periods. The payments to Legacy and PEG under these arrangements are payable in cash and conditional on the combined Baseball division achieving certain EBIT targets over the period up until 2021 for Legacy and 2022 for PEG. Upon achievement of the escalating Baseball EBIT hurdles, the total consideration for the principals of Legacy and PEG under the earn-outs is capped at $7.2m.
As a result of the amendment and extension to the Legacy and PEG earn-outs, the total deferred consideration on the Group's balance sheet, which as at 30 June 2016 was $9.8m, is expected to increase by approximately $0.7m.
In addition, the Legacy and PEG employment extensions bring them in-line with the employment extensions agreed with the key principals of The Agency Sports Management which was acquired by the Group in 2011. TLA has now extended its employment agreements with the principals of these three businesses who will remain at TLA for at least another five years.
Given the investment made to date and the resultant offseason activities, the Board believes that the Agreements are a positive development for the Group and will ensure that the Baseball principals remain incentivised and committed to deliver on the Baseball growth plans over the coming years.
Mike Principe, CEO of TLA, said: "The future success of our Baseball division is based on our investment in high quality people and we are excited about the prospects of this division having secured key personnel over the long term. The negotiation of at least $237m in offseason contracts is a record performance for TLA Baseball and this, combined with the right people in place for years to come, gives the Board confidence that the Baseball division is in a strong position to deliver on its growth plans."
Related party transaction
The Legacy principals, being Greg Genske, Brian Peters and Scott Parker, are deemed to be related parties under the AIM Rules and therefore their participation in the arrangements described above represent a related party transaction.
In accordance with AIM Rule 13, the Board of Directors (excluding Greg Genske who is a related party) consider, having consulted Numis (the Group's nominated adviser) that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable insofar as TLA's shareholders are concerned.

("FD" or the "Group")
Contract Win
FD (AIM: FDP.L, ESM: FDP.I) announces that it has signed a contract with a Fortune 500 engineering solutions company for the use of its Kx technology within precision manufacturing. Kx has been selected as the high-performance, time-series data historian and analytics platform in the next version of the client's fault detection product range, expected to be released in mid-2017. The client expects the use of Kx to provide a competitive advantage in its market and has therefore asked not to be named at this stage.
The client is a leading supplier of precision fault detection solutions which enable its customers to increase productivity, improve quality and maximise manufacturing equipment efficiency. The fault detection solution takes readings from thousands of sensors providing rapid ingestion, complex event processing, and compares these readings to historical data to detect anomalies and potential faults. With increasing numbers of sensors and frequency of readings now taking place, the performance of the client's existing solution had become sub-optimal and, following a successful proof of concept, it has decided to replace it with Kx. Initial benchmarking shows that, by incorporating Kx, the product is capable of handling many millions of sensor reads per second, representing a significant change in the product's performance and scalability.
FD will receive revenue as existing customers of the fault detection solution upgrade to the version powered by Kx. The total expected value over a five year period places this contract amongst some of the larger software contracts FD has signed. In addition to the use of Kx within its fault detection solutions, the client has identified additional potential uses of Kx within its operations and FD is working with the client to develop these additional opportunities.
The use of Kx for fault detection is one application of the use of sensor data to aid efficiency within manufacturing, also known as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). According to ABI Research, the addressable market for analytics and other value-added services for the IIoT is expected to reach $80-120 billion by 2018.
Brian Conlon, Chief Executive Officer of FD, commented: "This is a flagship contract win for Kx in the Industrial Internet of Things, secured through our ability to demonstrate higher performance, greater scalability, and lower total cost of ownership than competing solutions. We see considerable potential for Kx to establish itself as a market-leading solution for streaming analytics on sensor data, particularly within manufacturing environments."

Onshore Italy seismic programme
Northern Petroleum (AIM: NOP), the AIM quoted oil and gas company focusing on production led growth balanced with high impact exploration and appraisal opportunities, announces that Shell Italia E&P S.p.A ("Shell") has initiated a local engagement programme in relation to the Cascina Alberto permit, onshore northern Italy.
The programme is being undertaken in advance of the submission of an Environmental Impact Assessment ("EIA") necessary to conduct a geophysical survey. The programme includes up to 200 meetings with local authorities, communities and stakeholders to gather information and opinion to assist with the EIA submission. Field work for the seismic survey is expected to begin in 2018 following approval of the EIA. Northern Petroleum owns a 20 per cent. non-operated working interest and is carried for the seismic acquisition up to a gross cost of US$4 million.
Keith Bush, Chief Executive Officer of Northern Petroleum, commented:
"Shell have demonstrated great commitment in progressing this exploration opportunity, even during the recent industry downturn. The views of local stakeholders are important when planning any type of operational work and we support Shell's inclusive approach during the EIA process.
"Cascina Alberto represents an important part of the Company's strategy of creating three to four company changing events over the next few years, something that will enhance the value of the sustainable production growth in Canada."
The Cascina Alberto licence
The Cascina Alberto exploration permit covers an area of 462 square kilometres across the Piedmont and Lombardy regions.
The area was held in the late 1990s by ENI and was the subject of a farm-in by Enterprise Oil in 2000. The exploration focus was on a prospect which ENI had interpreted as holding 300 million barrels of prospective resource. The structure of the prospect was believed to be similar to the nearby Villafortuna-Trecate field, located 25 kilometres to the south east and one of the largest onshore oil fields discovered in western Europe, having produced in excess of 210 million barrels of oil to date.
Northern Petroleum was awarded the permit in July 2014 and, after being approached by Shell, completed the farm out in early 2015. Shell acquired 80 per cent. of the permit and operatorship for a cash consideration of US$850,000, a carry for seismic acquisition of up to US$4 million gross cost, a carry on an exploration well of up to US$50 million gross cost and a carry on all ongoing general and administrative costs.

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.
