company received official notice from the european patent office (epo) for the decision to grant its patent application on april 5th, 2023. the patent was initially filed february 7th, 2020. patent application covers a method to efficiently handle mass biological sequence information. related patents pending in other countries, favorable outcomes anticipated victoria, british colombia march 27, 2023 – immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (nasdaq: ipa) (“immunoprecise” or “ipa” or the “company”), the parent company of biokey and affiliate of biostrand, announced today that the epo has issued a “decision to grant” for biokey’s patent application covering the company’s hyft® technology used to organize and analyze biological sequence information. the hyft technology and methodology provide a novel way to efficiently tap into sequence information, allowing the extraction and use the relevant information therein to address the current problems in omics data integration and analysis. the hyft technology serves as the core of the biostrand’s lensai integrated technologytm platform which provides cutting-edge data solutions and antibody discovery. the patent will provide biostrand’s lensai integrated technology with broad protection, further strengthening the company’s patent portfolio position and enabling exclusive access to the hyft technology. the company anticipates favorable outcomes in other countries as well, as many patent offices worldwide consider the status of related european cases to be highly relevant to the decision to grant patents. “this is a significant and exciting decision by the epo, and we view this announcement as a recognition of biostrand’s important contributions to the fields of omic data integration and analysis, fields paramount to the future of cancer research, precision medicine, biomarker identification, and novel drug discovery and development,” stated dr. jennifer bath, ceo of ipa. “this patent provides protection for biokey’s hyft technology, which will give scientists the ability to advance the development of safer and more effective therapies for the toughest medical challenges we face today.” the hyft technology hyft technology is a way of organizing information about the natural world by creating connections between patterns found in living things, called hyfts. these patterns can link genetic sequences to their structures and functions, as well as to other information such as scientific papers and medical records. the output, the hyft knowledge graph, contains over 660 million patterns and 25 billion connections, and is continuously updated with new information. this provides a powerful tool for exploring relationships in the natural world, which can be used for research and applications in medicine and other fields. the hyft graph is unique in its explicit representation of information from the whole biosphere, and it provides a transparent intermediate layer between sequences and predictions that allows for new knowledge to be extracted without the limitations of a black box. hyft-based technologies have numerous applications in various fields beyond just data integration, organization, and analysis, such as drug immunogenicity testing, drug discovery, and natural language processing (nlp). these applications have the potential to accelerate the drug development process and improve patient outcomes. in the field of immunogenicity, hyfts can help predict parts of a molecule that may trigger an immune response. this information is crucial in therapeutic and vaccine development, as it helps identify potential safety concerns before they become problematic. moreover, hyfts can predict off-target effects, which occur when a drug or therapy affects unintended targets in the body. early identification of potential off-target effects allows researchers to design safer and more effective treatments. in drug discovery, hyft-based technologies have multiple potential applications, including: toxicity prediction: by linking genetic sequences to toxicological data, hyfts can predict the toxicity of potential drug candidates, helping researchers identify compounds likely to cause adverse effects before entering clinical trials. drug repurposing: hyfts can identify existing drugs for repurposing by linking genetic sequences to known targets and functions, accelerating the drug discovery process by finding compounds already approved for other indications. clinical trial design: hyfts can optimize clinical trial design by linking genetic sequences to patient data and clinical outcomes, identifying patient subgroups more likely to benefit from specific treatments, and enabling personalized and efficient clinical trials. biomarker discovery: by linking genetic sequences to disease-specific phenotypes, hyfts can identify biomarkers of disease, helping to identify at-risk patients and enable earlier diagnosis and treatment. another application of hyft-based technologies is tied to nlp, which involves analyzing and extracting information from written or spoken language. hyfts can link text-based information, such as scientific papers or medical records, to specific genetic sequences or structures, facilitating more efficient and accurate analysis. this is particularly valuable in genomics and personalized medicine, where vast amounts of textual data must be processed and analyzed to identify potential therapies or treatments. the company believes that the utilization of hyft-based technologies in drug discovery and other fields shows great promise for expediting the drug development process and enhancing patient outcomes. about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise antibodies ltd. has several subsidiaries in north america and europe including

the program will leverage biostrand’s lensai® full suite of integrated intelligence technology® with libera bio’s multifunctional polymeric nanocapsules (mpn technology®) the alliance has stipulated a minimum of upfront and downstream milestone payments of usd 155 million plus commercial royalties, per product developed victoria, canada and santiago de compostela, spain, march 15, 2023 – immunoprecise antibodies ltd. (nasdaq: ipa) (“immunoprecise” or “ipa” or the “company”), an ai-driven biotherapeutic research and technology company, today announced that talem therapeutics llc, an independently operating subsidiary of ipa, and libera bio s.l., have signed a collaboration agreement to jointly address intracellular targets. it is estimated that 75% of disease-causing targets are located inside cells1. some of the most elusive cancer targets are expressed inside tumor cells. because they are so difficult to address, they have sometimes been deemed “undruggable” and thus represent high unmet medical needs. numerous pathways intersect inside tumor cells, such as the mapk pathway or the “hedgehog pathway”, and may generate conditions for tumors to develop, grow and evade the immune system. disrupting signals at one or more points within these pathways may slow down the growth of the tumors and inhibit their proliferation. small molecules have been successfully developed to this end, but they often present a significant lack of specificity resulting in toxicity, leading to undesirable side effects for patients. engineering antibodies to force them inside tumor cells has also been attempted, but it is a complex process, often wrought with failure. the collaboration between talem and libera bio will leverage a nanotechnology that has been proven in vivo to deliver antibodies inside tumor cells and provides a potential solution to this medical challenge. libera bio’s multifunctional polymeric nanocapsules (mpn technology®) offer an elegant way to deliver antibodies inside tumor cells. the relevant antibodies are encapsulated in multi-layer nanocapsules of approximately 1/10,000th of a millimeter in diameter. the nanocapsules are specifically designed around the physicochemical properties of antibodies, to protect them from degradation in the blood stream. libera bio believes that this might be the only nanotechnology with in vivo proof of concept of delivering whole antibodies intracellularly. in addition, mpns can deliver other biologic modalities or combinations of a biologic and a small molecule in the same nanocapsule. passively or actively targeted, the mpns deliver these compounds through a cell membrane and to intracellular targets. whole antibodies, close to their natural form, can be delivered in this manner. talem will leverage its antibody discovery and development expertise and access, including without limitation, the lensai technology® from biostrand b.v., an independently operating subsidiary of ipa. biostrand has developed a proprietary, ai-driven platform to optimize the design of such antibodies. biostrand computationally generates and rapidly screens a large set of diverse antibody candidates against a prioritized list of targets, including intracellular targets. talem and libera bio will jointly develop novel antibodies for use with mpn delivery, with the goal of offering them to larger pharma companies to conduct late-stage development and commercialization. the work launches with the investigation of two intracellular targets with very high unmet patient needs to offer options to the oncologists treating them. “as we continue to push the boundaries of cancer therapy, the ability to target intracellular proteins has been the 'holy grail' in oncology. libera bio's ground-breaking approach of enabling biologics to penetrate the cell membrane and reach previously 'undruggable' targets is an exciting development that has the potential to transform the way we treat cancer,” said dr. jennifer bath, ceo and president of immunoprecise antibodies ltd. “the libera bio team has been very impressed with the combination of modern in silico tools and wet lab capabilities at the ipa family of companies. we are looking forward to this alliance that just may yield dozens of new options for cancer treatment,” added olivier jarry, co-founder and ceo of libera bio. 1. verdine gl, walensky ld. the challenge of drugging undruggable targets in cancer: lessons learned from targeting bcl-2 family members. clin cancer res. 2007;13(24):7264-70. doi:10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-07-2184. about immunoprecise antibodies ltd. immunoprecise antibodies ltd. has several subsidiaries in north america and europe including entities such as talem therapeutics llc, biostrand bv, immunoprecise antibodies (canada) ltd. and immunoprecise antibodies (europe) b.v.
