NeuroVive Pharmaceutical and A1M Pharma initiate research collaboration

NeuroVive Pharmaceutical AB (publ) and A1M Pharma AB (publ) have announced that
the two companies are initiating a research collaboration in mitochondrial
medicine. The partnership is governed by a collaboration agreement signed on 21
March 2014.

  · Initially, the purpose of the collaboration is to utilize the companies’
complementary scientific platforms within the framework of ongoing research
projects. The companies will evaluate results achieved to date, then explore the
potential for a closer collaboration focusing on bringing products to market in
a time-efficient manner.

  · The costs related to the research collaboration will be covered by each
company separately and within budgeted development projects.

  · Both companies will retain exclusive ownership rights to existing registered
intellectual property. However, any inventions arising from the collaboration
will be jointly owned by NeuroVive and A1M Pharma.

“I’m delighted to be able to announce this collaboration with A1M Pharma, which
will give both parties access to a broader scientific platform in mitochondrial
medicine. The companies’ adjacent research areas and strong R&D backgrounds,
combined with their geographical proximity, will secure a smooth integration of
existing research projects,” commented NeuroVive’s CEO Mikael Brönnegård.

“The collaboration will improve the potential for both parties to conduct
leading research in mitochondrial medicine. I’m convinced that our experience
and scientific backgrounds will generate new approaches and increase the
potential to create leading products with substantial market potential. However,
I would like to emphasize that we’re retaining our focus on pre-eclampsia and
renal failure,” responded A1M Pharma’s CEO Tomas Eriksson.

About A1M Pharma
A1M Pharma AB (publ) was founded by researchers at the University of Lund,
Sweden. The company was incorporated in 2008 with its main focus on the
development and commercialization of diagnostics and treatment of pre-eclampsia.
Pharmaceuticals development is based on A1M, a protein that protects the body
from toxic substances formed in oxidative stress, and repairs damaged tissue.
Diagnostics are based on the detection of raised levels of the biomarker fetal
hemoglobin in the mother’s blood. The researchers have developed a new method
for discovering pregnancies at risk of developing pre-eclampsia at an early
stage. In 2013, the company decided to complement its research to include
pharmaceuticals development focusing on renal failure, as recently completed
studies indicate that A1M protects renal tissue. A1M Pharma’s shares are traded
on the AktieTorget marketplace under the ticker symbol A1M.
