("N4 Pharma" or the "Company")

EPO Patent Granted

N4 Pharma Plc (AIM: N4P), the specialist pharmaceutical company developing Nuvec(R), a novel delivery system for cancer treatments and vaccines, is pleased to announce that further to the Company's announcement dated 11 February 2021 in which it was stated that the European Patent Office ("EPO") had notified the Company of its intention to grant a European patent in relation to Nuvec(R) specifically in respect of its composition, particulate materials and methods for making the particulate materials (the "Patent"), the EPO has now granted this Patent which has been validated in the main territories across Europe*. This Patent adds to existing grants in Australia and Japan.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has been informed by the Chinese Patent Office ("CPO") of its intention to grant the Patent in China in relation to Nuvec(R).

Discussions with other key patent authorities in the US, Canada and India are continuing and updates will be provided by the Company on these in due course.

Nigel Theobald, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented : "We are delighted that the EPO has now formally granted the European Patent which is now validated across Europe. This achieves another key step in our IP strategy where we are also making excellent progress following the notice of allowance made recently by the CPO for the potentially huge market of China and the ongoing discussions in other key jurisdictions. We look forward to updating the market on these in due course."

About N4 Pharma

N4 Pharma is a specialist pharmaceutical company developing a novel delivery system for cancer and vaccine treatments using its unique silica nanoparticle delivery system called Nuvec(R).

N4 Pharma's business model is to partner with companies developing novel antigens for cancer and vaccine treatments to use Nuvec(R) as the delivery vehicle to get their antigen into cells to express the protein needed for the required immunity. As these products progress through pre clinical and clinical programs, N4 Pharma will seek to receive up front payments, milestone payments and ultimately royalty payments once products reach the market.
