GENinCode is a UK-incorporated company engaged in the risk assessment, prediction and prevention of cardiovascular disease ("CVD"), the leading cause of death worldwide accounting for approximately 18 million deaths annually. The Company's products and technology have been developed since 2008 and clinically tested on over 80,000 patients with the aim of predicting the onset of CVD and providing a personalised treatment pathway for patient management. The Company was incorporated in September 2018 following the acquisition of the assets and know-how of the Ferrer inCode and Gendiag.exe businesses, including the Company's current product portfolio, Cardio inCode®, LiPID inCode®, SuDD inCode® and Thrombo inCode®, then a part of Grupo Ferrer Internacional S.A., a large Spanish multinational private pharma and healthcare company. Since 2007, these products have collectively had approximately €50 million invested in the research and development of these products. The Company has begun to commercialise these products in certain European countries and is also targeting the US. The Company's products are CE-Marked in Europe and the Company submitted an application to the US FDA for Breakthrough Device designation for its core Cardio inCode product in February 2021. The Company's product portfolio draws on genomic precision testing using polygenic (multiple-genes) technology, advanced molecular testing, genotyping and sequencing. Through a simple blood or saliva sample, the Company can analyse a patient's medical information and genetic variants associated with CVD to determine a Genetic Risk Score ("GRS") which is used for the subsequent assessment of a patient's cardiovascular risk. The Company's SITAB system, a proprietary software, bioinformatics and algorithmic platform and online cloud-based reporting system, is used to process and record test results and genetic information, as using algorithms and artificial intelligence, assess a patient's risk of CVD risk. It reports results directly via a web portal to healthcare practitioners, cardiologists and physicians, in a user-friendly, digestible format. The Group's operations are predominantly based in the UK, Europe and, following regulatory clearance, the United States. At Admission, the Group will comprise three subsidiaries: GENinCode UK Limited, a private limited company registered in the UK; GENinCode S.L.U, a private limited company registered in Spain; and GENinCode U.S. Inc, a private incorporated company registered in Delaware, US. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
