Lifecare – Sanofi Product Development Agreement Update
Posted: 19/09/2023
Reference is made to previous investor communication, i.e. September 23, 2021
and later. Lifecare is engaged with Sanofi in a Product Development Agreement
aimed at advancing the miniaturization of Lifecare's sensor technology for
integration into Lifecare's Sencell Continuous Glucose Monitoring system.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sanofi has committed to provide funding
contributions, supporting the further development of Lifecare's technology. In
return, Lifecare has granted Sanofi a right of first refusal to negotiate,
allowing them an exclusive opportunity to license and globally exploit the
technology.
Today, we are pleased to announce that Lifecare has submitted a phase-end report
in line with the agreement. This event triggers the release of development
funding from Sanofi, while the Product Development Agreement continues. This
phase-end report does not directly activate commercial rights as per agreement,
but it signifies Lifecare's commercial progress based on previously reported
technology milestone achievements.
Subject to the continued development progress, Lifecare expect to report
additional phase-end reports under the Product Development Agreement within the
next upcoming calendar quarters.
