IMMUNOPRECISE ANTIBODIES LTD.  (TSX-V: IPA) (OTC PINK: IPATF) is excited to expand its immunization services through our recent growth in Europe. Our advanced genetic immunization strategies are applicable in multiple species, including transgenics, and across all discovery platforms.  We have developed our genetic immunization protocol with our proprietary vectors to meet the growing demand for therapeutic antibodies against challenging, conformation-sensitive drug targets.

Through our in-house developed vectors, our protocol produces native protein with appropriate post-transcriptional modifications in vivo. Clients are not subject to downstream milestones or royalties, and bypass the requirement to purify protein or synthesize peptide for immunization.

Custom Developed Antibodies for Difficult Targets

Genetic immunization is a recommended protocol to compliment challenging campaigns against complex protein classes, such as GPCRs and ion channels. It overcomes the conformation obstacles of difficult antigens making it an ideal immunization platform in therapeutic discovery campaigns.

Genetic Advantage:

• Overcomes conformational obstacles of complex transmembrane protein classes (e.g. GPCRs and ion channels)
• Successful in multiple species, including transgenics
• Time-saving when compared with traditional protein-based immunizations, since it avoids the lengthy process of expressing and purifying the immunogen

“ModiQuest’s long-standing expertise in advanced genetic immunization technologies is a strategic addition, designed specifically to deliver an unprecedented and growing arsenal of immunization approaches to tackle challenging therapeutic targets”, stated ImmunoPrecise’s President and CEO, Dr. Jennifer Bath.

Debt Settlement

ImmunoPrecise announces that it has settled $1,377,000 of previously issued debentures by issuing 1,377,000 Units at a price of $1.00 per Unit (the “Debt Settlement”).   The purpose of the Debt Settlement is to shore up ImmunoPrecise’s balance sheet by removing ongoing debt obligations related to $1,377,000 of debentures.

Each Unit consists of one common share of ImmunoPrecise and one share purchase warrant of ImmuoPrecise, with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase an additional Share at a price of $1.25 for a period of two years from the date of issue.  ImmunoPrecise will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the warrants provided that ImmunoPrecise’s volume weighted average price trades at a price equal to or greater than $1.75 for a period of 20 consecutive days.  In the event of acceleration, the expiry date will be accelerated to a date that is 30 days after ImmunoPrecise issues a news release announcing that it has elected to exercise this acceleration right

Settlement with Crossbeta

ImmunoPrecise and Crossbeta Biosciences B.V have entered into a settlement agreement in connection with the previously announced letter of intent entered into by the parties.  Under the terms of the settlement agreement, ImmunoPrecise has agreed to pay EUR 37,000 to Crossbeta, and either (i) issue to Crossbeta such number of common shares equal toEUR 40,700 divided by the Market Price of ImmunoPrecise’s shares or (ii) pay to Crossbeta a cash payment of EUR 40,700.
