("Catenae", the "Company" or the "Group")

Business Update

Catenae Innovation PLC (AIM: CTEA), the AIM quoted provider of digital media and technology, announces that, further to the announcement made by the Company on 16 October 2020, it has renamed its 50/50 Joint Venture Company to Synovate Global Limited ("Synovate") and Synovate has received its first orders.

Synovate is a joint venture between Catenae and BHA-Medical ("BHA") in which Catenae licenses its technology platforms and BHA provides its Covid-19 CE-certified and scientifically validated by the UK Government Near-Patient Healgen Antigen test and its Covid-19 CE-certified Near-Patient Antai Triple-Antibody test.

Through Synovate, BHA has provided badminton's national governing body - Badminton England with its Near-Patient Healgen Antigen test kits, and Catenae has supplied its GDPR-compliant data management platform, for the Badminton Europe Qualification Group 1 matches that took place in Milton Keynes between 9 - 12 December 2020.

Synovate's partner, ECG Training, conducted the tests on the participating teams from England, Sweden, Estonia and Hungary, and all of the test results were securely logged and managed using Catenae's platform through Synovate. The data was then submitted to Public Health England (PHE), for input into the NHS's 'Test and Trace' platform, and the players received their test results via SMS text message and email.

Through Synovate, BHA's Covid-19 test kits and Catenae's data management platform have also been supplied to Stone Bailey, a security, safety and medical solutions organisation, for use at "Lapland UK", a Christmas destination event near Ascot in Surrey.

Under the terms of the agreement with Stone Bailey, BHA provide the CE-certified Near-Patient Antai Triple-Antibody test kits for the venue staff, and have ensured that Stone Bailey received the training required to carry out the ongoing testing procedure. All test results are securely recorded on Catenae's data management portal through Synovate and input into Public Health England.

Albeit neither the Badminton England nor the Stone Bailey agreements will generate significant revenues for the Company, it provides a commercial endorsement for Synovate's offering.

Guy Meyer, Chief Executive Officer of Catenae, said: "We are delighted to officially launch Synovate and to be able to provide commercial organisations with a comprehensive offering that they can use to test and securely manage Covid-19 cases within their corporations. Importantly, Synovate ensures that results from both Antigen and Antibody test are fed into PHE, where, in turn, they are inputted into the NHS's 'Test and Trace' platform. Our platform is able to accept tests results from a range of differing testing procedures and is also able to accept an individual's vaccination information.

"Utilising the sales expertise of our newly appointed Chief Commercial Officer, Nick Delacamp, we are experiencing increased interest for Synovate's services from organisations across a range of industries, and we look forward to keeping the market updated on further progress in due course."

Matt Stone, Managing Director of Stone Bailey, commented: "We are proud to be leading the way in managing the safety of our teams and visitors to Lapland UK. The testing system has made it quick and easy for us to conduct the tests and inform both the end-users and Public Health England of the outcomes."

The person who arranged for release of this announcement on behalf of the Company was Guy Meyer, Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the content of this announcement.
