4basebio awarded tender to deliver research and GMP-grade synthetic DNA in 
CPI's tender process for supplying its RNA Centre of Excellence

Cambridge, UK, 1 March 2024 - 4basebio PLC (AIM: 4BB), an innovation-driven
biotechnology company enabling and accelerating the development of advanced
therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) through its high-performant synthetic DNA
products and non-viral, thermostable nucleic acid delivery platform, today
announces, that it has been successful in a tender process to supply research
and GMP-grade synthetic DNA for the development of RNA therapeutics and
vaccines in CPI's RNA Centre of Excellence.

The tender process was focussed on the manufacture of plasmid and synthetic
DNA templates, and 4basebio is able to fulfil CPI's DNA requirements for the
development and scale-up of novel RNA therapeutics. 4basebio's synthetic
opDNA™ templates confer several advantages for the production of mRNA, not
limited to superior transcriptional yields and no need for enzymatic
linearisation, alongside reduced turnaround time, safety, and cost benefits.

Heikki Lanckriet, CEO and CSO of 4basebio, commented: " We are delighted to
have met CPI's RNA Centre of Excellence criteria for the supply of DNA
templates. Our growing client base recognises the benefits of opDNA™ in mRNA
production for clinical application and it is rewarding to see this potential
recognised by CPI as well. We aim to support and accelerate the development of
RNA medicines for the organisations that CPI is working with."

Julie Anderson, Head of RNA Centre of Excellence at CPI added: "It is
important for CPI to include access to the high-quality DNA templates produced
by 4basebio to our clients for the development and manufacture of RNA
therapeutics.  We are impressed by the capabilities of the 4basebio team and
are looking forward to including their synthetic templates in the development
of our partners' RNA medicines."
