Genedrive plc Announces Nhs England Commercial Strategy for Rapid Mt-Rnr1 Testing Genedrive plc (AIM: GDR), the point of care pharmacogenetic testing company, welcomed publication from NHS England of a Preliminary market engagement notice under the Procurement Act 2023, to inform the NHS commercial strategy for rapid genetic MT-RNR1 testing in neonates to prevent antibiotic induced hearing loss. To date, since introduction, the rapid MT-RNR1 test has been used as part of routine clinical practice by approximately 900 neonatal nurses for over 10,000 babies admitted to NICUs, enabling more than 30 to avoid lifelong hearing loss as a result of aminoglycoside antibiotic exposure. In the UK, Genedrive® MT-RNR1 ID kit is being implemented and used in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units ("NICU") of 14 hospitals across the four UK nations as part of a real world evidence generation programme (PALOH-UK) funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and the UK Government Office for Life Sciences (OLS). The test also has conditional recommendation for use in the NHS by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence ("NICE") whilst further real world evidence is generated. Genedrive estimates that annual NICU admissions in these NICUs represent approximately 10% of admissions in the UK. Additionally, since October 2025, implementation of the Genedrive® MT-RNR1 ID kit into all NHS Scotland Health boards has been actively progressing under a phased implantation programme with the Accelerated National Innovation Adoption (ANIA) pathway led by the Scottish Centre for Sustainable Delivery. The PALOH-UK programme is scheduled to complete by July 2026, with subsequent NICE review and issuance of final guidance communicated to be approximately July 2027. Post PALOH-UK and ahead of final guidance, business case progression will continue as planned to enable PALOH-UK sites to rapidly transition to Business as Usual use. In addition to anticipated timelines, the premarket engagement notes anticipate a publication date of tender notice of 1 January 2027 and go-live target date of 1 July 2027, subject to NICE guidance outcome.

genedrive plc Announces Pilot Programme Study Results Underpinning Nhs Implementation Guide for Cyp2c19 Genotype Testing Presented At the Uk Stroke Forum genedrive plc notes the presentation of two posters by authors from NHS England ("NHSE") Network of Excellence in Pharmacogenomics, the NHSE Genomics Unit, NHSE National Stroke Programme, and Manchester Centre for Genomic Medicine at the UK Stroke Forum, Aberdeen, 25-27 November 2025. Data presented in these posters underpinned the recently published "NHS implementation guide for CYP2C19 genotype testing to guide Clopidogrel use after ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack ("TIA") to support prescribing decisions in stroke. As outlined in the online presentation (Personalising Medicines with Genomics), the National Pilot Programme was conducted at four geographically diverse NHS stroke units across England. The results included laboratory CYP2C19 testing assessed at Doncaster, St. George's and Exeter (December 2024 - April 2025), and Point-of Care ("PoC") rapid CYP2C19 genetic testing assessed using the Genedrive®? CYP2C19 ID kit at Salford Royal Hospital's Hyper Acute Stroke Centre (March 2025 - April 2025). Key findings and conclusions from these were; A higher prevalence of patients unlikely to respond to clopidogrel identified in the near-patient arm (33%) versus the laboratory arm (29%)." The Company estimates that an additional c. 4,200 stroke patients benefitting from alternative prescribing decisions could be identified annually using the Genedrive CYP2C19 ID Kit due to its increased target coverage and ethnic inclusivity. Test results impacted prescription practices, guiding prescription changes and aligning treatment with patients' genetic profiles for better outcomes. Notably, 100% of patients in the genedrive PoC arm requiring clopidogrel prescription had their results available whilst on-ward, whereas 88% of patients in the laboratory arm had been discharged (requiring follow-up activities for prescription change activities). Genedrive®? CY P2C19 ID kit "test failure rate of 0.49%, in the acute clinical setting. Implementation of Genedrive®? CYp2C19 testing was feasible, scalable and effective in providing immediate availability of results during acute clinical settings. Moreover, the findings substantiate the clinical utility of CYP2C19 Genotype-guided antiplatelet therapy in the management of patients with ischemic stroke or TIA, particularly with diverse British and European populations. Rapid availability of test results enables actionable prescription choices and reduces the risk of less effective medications being prescribed for secondary prevention of stroke. CYP2C19 interventional testing is estimated to offer PS160M of value annually to the UK NHS, with rapid CYP2C19 testing estimated to release 62,500 bed days and 235,000 healthcare professional hours annually and aligns perfectly with NHS 10-year plan ambitions for realising the patient and financial benefits of shifting spending to prevention from treatment.

Genedrive plc Announces Nhs Implementation Guide Published for Cyp2c19 Genotype Testing genedrive plc notes the publication of the "NHS implementation guide for CYP2C19 genotype testing to guide Clopidogrel use after ischaemic stroke ("IS") or transient ischaemic attack ("TIA") to support prescribing decisions in stroke. Following the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence ("NICE") recommendation for CYP2C19 Genotypeing in TIA and IS including the Genedrive®? CYP2C19 ID Kit as the preferred rapid testing platform, and a national pilot implementing both laboratory and "rapid testing" approaches, the implementation guide encourages stroke services to use the guide to plan how CYP2C19 genotyping could be integrated locally. Interim presentation of the pilot results highlighted that the vast majority of stroke patients had moved further down the care pathway by the time results were available from laboratory testing (which takes several days to weeks), whereas actionable results were available from rapid testing within just over one hour. The guide notes that; Patients at hyperacute stroke units typically have a short length of stay, which may be more suitable for rapid testing. In the context of TIA and non-disabling stroke, clopidogrel is typically started immediately. Turnaround time of laboratory testing means patients may require an additional appointment to change their prescription. This group of patients may be receiving less effective secondary prevention for the days between the test and until an alternative medicine is started. Rapid testing may reduce the need for follow-up appointments or additional communication to other services to action a prescribing decision. Aankondiging • Nov 26

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 89% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (30% average weekly change).

The Genedrive MT-R NR1 ID Kit will start being used for babies requiring antibiotic treatment for infections within the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Hospital for Children ("RHC") in Glasgow next month, with the Royal Alexandra Hospital and Princess Royal Maternity Hospital to follow soon after. It will be rolled out to all territorial health boards with neonatal units over the next 18 months. The initiative follows an assessment by the Chief Scientist Office funded Accelerated National Innovation Adoption ("ANIA") pathway, led by the Centre for Sustainable Delivery ("CfSD"), and a Programme for Government commitment from the Scottish Government to provide PS0.8 million to support national adoption. It follows the ongoing UK-wide PALOH (Pharmacogenetics to Avoid Loss of Hearing) programme and assessment by the Scottish Health Technologies Group. Scotland's Public Health Minister Jenni Minto visited the RHC neonatal unit to meet clinicians and representatives from the West of Scotland Innovation Hub ("WoSIH"), who have played a leading role in bringing the innovation to Scotland. Ms Minto also discussed the planned national rollout with members of the CfSD and once fully implemented, it is anticipated that more than 3,000 newborn babies would be tested during the first year. Dr Helen McDevitt, Consultant Neonatologist with NHSGGC and clinical lead for the PALOH-UK study at the RHC, said: "The introduction of this point-of-care genetic testing for newborn babies requiring antibiotic treatment for bacterial infection is a landmark moment for neonatal care in Scotland. By introducing this test, the Company is at the forefront of Point of Care pharmacogenetic testing in emergency healthcare. Pharmacogenetics informs on how individual genetics impact a medicines ability to work for you. Therefore, by using pharmacogenetics, medicine choices can be personalised, made safer and more effective.

genedrive CYP2C19 ID Kit Receives CE-Certification Under the European in Vitro Diagnostics Regulation genedrive plc announced the successful certification of its rapid CYP2C19 ID Kit genotyping platform under the European In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation ("IVDR") 2017/746. The IVDR replaces the In Vitro Diagnostic Directive ("IVDD") and is the current required regulatory basis for placing on the market, making available and putting into service any new In Vitro diagnostic medical devices within the European Union, with CE-IVD certification recognised for facilitating registration in several non-European countries. Approximately 30% of individuals, and up to 56% in certain ethnic groups, carry DNA variants in the CYP2C19 gene which result in sub-optimal activity of the antiplatelet drug Clopidogrel, commonly prescribed in patients with serious cardiovascular events such as Ischaemic Stroke ("IS"), Transient Ischaemic Attack ("TIA") and Acute Coronary Syndrome, where patients with these variants who are prescribed Clopidogrel typically experiencing worse outcomes. The Genedrive® CYP2C19 ID Kit identifies five of these DNA variants, some of which are particularly important in certain ethnicities. It enables rapid identification of patients who are unlikely to respond to Clopidogrel, in time-critical emergency healthcare settings where rapid appropriate antiplatelet prescription is crucial. The Genedrive® CYP2C19 ID Kit rapid test is best in class, recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence ("NICE") as the rapid genotyping platform of choice for use in the NHS, with dominant health economics, wider patient group coverage, and performance shown to be superior to laboratory testing methods.

Genedrive plc Receives Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration genedrive plc announced that it has received Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the Genedrive® MT-RNR1 ID Kit. The Genedrive® MT-RNR1 kit is the world's first rapid point-of-care test to screen infants in an urgent care setting for a genetic variant that can cause life-long hearing loss when carriers of the variant are given certain antibiotics. Those infants identified by the Genedrive® MT-RNR1 ID kit as carrying the variant can then be given alternative antibiotics. It has the potential to save thousands of children from lifelong hearing loss, whilst providing a net positive financial outcome case to healthcare systems. The Breakthrough Devices Program1 is intended to provide patients and health care providers with timely access to medical devices by speeding up development, assessment, and review for premarket approval, 510(k) clearance, and De Novo marketing authorisation. Breakthrough Devices must meet the FDA's standards for device safety and effectiveness in order to be authorised for marketing. Devices subject to premarket approval applications ("PMA"), premarket notification 510(k), or requests for De Novo classification request are eligible for Breakthrough Device Designation if the device meets FDA criteria that it "provides for more effective treatment or diagnosis of life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating human disease or conditions", in addition to "there being No Approved or Cleared Alternatives" and "Device Availability being in the Best Interest of Patients". The Breakthrough Devices Program offers manufacturers an opportunity to interact with FDA experts through several different programme options to efficiently address topics as they arise during the premarket review phase. This interaction can help manufacturers receive feedback from the FDA and identify areas of agreement in a timely way. Manufacturers can also expect prioritised review of their submission In 2021, 3.7 million babies were born in the USA, with 10.5% born prematurely. It was estimated that malpractice litigation settlements in cases related to deafness caused by the use of aminoglycosides average over US$1.1 million per case, further adding to the positive health economic case of providing accurate and timely testing to reduce unwanted side effects of gentamicin usage. Extrapolating from UK figures, the Company estimates that approximately 1,000 babies per annum in U.S. Neonatal Intensive Care Units ("NICU") are at risk of aminoglycoside induced hearing loss. Genedrive intends to pursue the FDADe Novoregulatory pathway for entry into the U.S. market. The FDA De Novo pathway provides a vehicle for establishing new predicate devices that can reflect modern standards for performance and safety and can serve as a basis for future clearances. De Novo classification is a risk-based classification process used when there is a lack of a predicate device already cleared by the FDA. Aankondiging • May 31

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 185% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (27% average weekly change). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (185% increase in shares outstanding). Revenue is less than US$1m (UK£272k revenue, or US$346k).

Genedrive plc Achieves UKCA Marking Registration for its New Genedrive CYP2C19 System genedrive plc announced it has achieved UKCA marking registration for its new Genedrive CYP2C19 System. It is a point of care pharmacogenomic test that can differentiate between patients that could respond to clopidogrel treatment and those that will not, allowing more effective drug treatment to be prescribed on a personalised basis. The test can be performed at the bedside or in a ward, and can deliver a clinically actionable result in about one hour. Poor response to treatment following stroke is common, effecting up to 30% of patients in the general population and in a recent report up to 50% in certain ethnic groups. In the UK, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence ("NICE") recommended in May 2023 draft guidance that people who have had an ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack ("TIA") should have a CYP2C19 genetic test prior to treatment. It's estimated that there are over 60 million ischaemic strokes per year globally and over 100,000 in the UK each year. The Genedrive®? CYP2C19 test uses a single, non-invasive cheek swab sample, and rapidly identifies six important genetic variants of the CYP2C19 gene, which are instrumental in the loss of metabolism function and poor activation of clopidogrel in a patient. The Genedrive System automatically interprets the information for the clinician, allowing prompt administration of an optimised treatment plan. Like all genedrive products, the tests are presented in a temperature stable, freeze-dried format, allowing testing to be performed by healthcare workers, away from laboratory locations. In its performance evaluations, the test achieved 99% accuracy in detecting the variants that underpin loss of metabolism function. UKCA marking now allows the Company to begin commercialisation in the UK, and actively engage in the DEVOTE programme (previously announced in May 2023), which will generate additional performance data in an acute care setting. This expanded dataset is required for CE marking submission, which will allow for commercialisation in the EU. Submission is expected in the first half of 2024 once genedrive's engagement with DEVOTE has completed. In the United Kingdom, the Company will be selling the product through its direct sales team, and momentum for adoption is expected to be influenced by positive final NICE recommendations for CYP2C19 testing, which are expected in December 2023.
