Thursday 30 October 2008 - Medical Marketing International Group plc ("MMI" or the "Company") (AIM:MMG), the life sciences company
focused on the development of drugs for cancer, today announces that it has agreed a further investment of up to �427,500 in its subsidiary,
Genvax Limited, by subscribing for up to 2,850 shares at �150 per share.
The investment, which is staged and is conditional on certain commercial milestones being achieved, follows the announcement on 31 July
2008 that the Company had raised gross proceeds of �0.95 million to fund the development programmes of its cancer vaccine and ruthenium
chemotherapy technologies. Once fully subscribed, MMI's stake in Genvax will increase from 58% to 66%. The first �67,500 of the investment
will be made in 2008.
Commenting on the investment, Mark Burton, Chief Technical Officer, said "We have previously reported that we have a clear strategy to
develop a broadly-based oncology company and this investment will enable Genvax to develop its DNA vaccine technology towards
proof-of-principle prior to onward out-licensing to pharmaceutical partners."
