Evotec and Centogene Expand Collaboration into Gaucher Disease

CENTOGENE AND EVOTEC INTEND TO IDENTIFY NOVEL DISEASE-MODIFYING TARGETS
FIRST TARGET SELECTED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A THERAPEUTIC CANDIDATE
CENTOGENE CONTRIBUTES ACCESS TO ITS GLOBAL PROPRIETARY RARE DISEASE PLATFORM, EVOTEC WILL LEVERAGE ITS PROPRIETARY IPSC PLATFORM AND DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT EXPERTISE

HAMBURG and ROSTOCK, GERMANY / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2020 / Evotec SE (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: EVT, MDAX/TecDAX, ISIN: DE0005664809) and CENTOGENE N.V. (Nasdaq:CNTG), a commercial-stage company focused on rare diseases that transforms real-world clinical and genetic data into actionable information for patients, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies, today announced that the companies have expanded their existing drug discovery partnership related to the protein target glucocerebrosidase ("GBA") with a focus on Gaucher disease, a genetic and relatively common lysosomal storage disorder. The parties intend to develop a treatment option for the majority of patients whereas currently available treatments are individualised for each patient depending on the type of Gaucher disease, focusing on symptomatic relief.

Under the terms of the expanded agreement, CENTOGENE and Evotec will work together to research, discover, and develop therapeutic options related to the deficiency of the protein GBA, a gene linked to Gaucher disease. The collaboration brings together Evotec's leading induced pluripotent stem cell ("iPSC") platform and broad drug discovery and development capabilities with CENTOGENE's global proprietary rare disease platform, including iPSC lines, to address the needs of this orphan drug indication. The collaboration builds on the partnership Evotec and CENTOGENE entered in 2018 with the goal to discover and develop novel small molecules in rare hereditary metabolic diseases.

Dr Cord Dohrmann, Chief Scientific Officer of Evotec, commented: "The partnership with CENTOGENE supports and complements our patient-centric drug discovery approach in Gaucher disease. We highly value CENTOGENE's biomarker expertise and real-world data-based global proprietary rare disease platform, which fits perfectly to our iPSC-based drug discovery platform. The combination should help identify disease-modifying treatments for this underserved patient population."

Prof. Arndt Rolfs, CEO of CENTOGENE, said: "Our collaboration with Evotec further underlines CENTOGENE's commitment to driving biomarker discoveries and accelerating orphan drug by leveraging our global expertise in rare hereditary diseases. In particular, we are able to draw on over 20 years of knowledge and research of Gaucher disease. By continuing our work alongside Evotec, we will accelerate transformational medical solutions in the rare disease field."

ABOUT CENTOGENE
CENTOGENE engages in diagnosis and research around rare diseases transforming real-world clinical and genetic data into actionable information for patients, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies. Our goal is to bring rationality to treatment decisions and to accelerate the development of new orphan drugs by using our extensive rare disease knowledge, including epidemiological and clinical data, as well as innovative biomarkers. CENTOGENE has developed a global proprietary rare disease platform based on our real-world data repository with approximately 3.0 billion weighted data points from over 530,000 patients representing over 120 different countries as of March 31, 2020.

The Company's platform includes epidemiologic, phenotypic, and genetic data that reflects a global population, and also a biobank of these patients' blood samples. CENTOGENE believes this represents the only platform that comprehensively analyzes multi-level data to improve the understanding of rare hereditary diseases, which can aid in the identification of patients and improve our pharmaceutical partners' ability to bring orphan drugs to the market. As of March 31, 2020, the Company collaborated with 39 pharmaceutical partners covering over 45 different rare diseases.

From Barbering to Brokering: How This Toronto Realtor Created A Polished Lucrative Lifestyle By Simply Building Relationships

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2020 / Matt Campoli is a man of many career-paths – going from a major in history, to barbering, to brokering real estate. This young maverick has been involved in a variety of industries, but has taken transferable skills from all of them and uses them currently. Matt comes from an Italian family, him being the first to graduate from university. His family told Matt the long-perceived notion that the road to success meant becoming a lawyer, doctor, engineer or accountant, and it always made sense to him to go into these careers – but he wasn't sure of what he wanted to do. After finishing high school, following a life doing what he loved became ever more apparent to him. When in university, his major in history appealed to him because he always saw value in viewing the world with a broad lens. A lot of the time, patterns reveal themselves – and this talent of predicting events before they occur was a valuable skill he harnessed.

While pursuing his history major, he also started a successful barbering business. The money he made at his retail job wasn't enough – and coming from a family of hairstylists, he began barbering as a hobby. He wasn't expecting it to blow up – soon cutting the entire area around which he lived – and the interpersonal skills he soon learned would become valuable to his work in real estate today. While with his clients, he learned to adapt to different cultures, ages, interests and backgrounds. These skills allow him to make all people that come across his path feel comfortable, which is valuable in any industry. He became obsessed with self-development and bettering himself and his work, so he could take what he knows and what he's learned into every industry he enters.

This drive, the ability to see patterns in history, and his people skills would become invaluable to him as he entered the real estate industry. Matt grew up renting homes with his single mother and eventually lived in a basement apartment; he was embarrassed by this, after looking at all the houses his friends grew up in. Scouting homes for his mother came from a deep desire to have a house to call home – and it was this desire that fueled his drive, and what inevitably drove him to the real estate industry. After seeing real estate agents at work with his mother while house hunting, he took a liking to it instantly. It seems fated that he would spend so much time looking for homes for his family, only for it to turn into a career. Four years later, he will soon be selling the house with the very same basement apartment in which he once lived – it seems life went full circle for Matt.

As he continues his work in real estate, he is still the same Matt Campoli that people come to – whether that be for a helping hand or just a listening ear. He enjoys helping people improve their self-development, and knows that it can be hard to figure out where to begin when life comes at you full speed. With the uncertainty of life after graduating university a daunting presence, and the typical 9-5 jobs requiring so much of our attention, it can be hard to discover where our true potential lies. It was this realization that struck him while in Tulum, Mexico, with his entrepreneurial friend Zohaib Aziz. They both could clearly see how lost people were trying to juggle work life with a life of self-discovery. A little help and assistance are all some people need to realize their true potential – and it was this motivation that inspired the duo to create the It's Simple Podcast. With guests from a multitude of industries, the duo invites entrepreneurs to share their success stories – along with tips and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs – to show that with the right potential and work, doing what you love is simple.

Matt sees himself continuing the work of helping people throughout his life – impacting millions by the time he leaves this earth. Doing real estate internationally and being one of the top agents in the world are a couple of personal goals. Still, the work of helping others pave their paths to success is a lifelong task he wants to undertake. When the pandemic first began, he continued this mission with his Home is Toronto video – motivating others to stay connected, and to continue our self-development so that we'd come back stronger and better than ever. While motivating us all, this also landed him a spot to speak on the Buzz Conference: a real estate-focused conference that brings industry leaders together to discuss the growing Toronto industry. With all that he's accomplished in just a short amount of time, Matt is still just a normal guy who wants the best for everyone and himself. His early twenties was strife with self-sabotage – his doubts in himself of being able to make six figures, or ever being where he is now. But after events in his life affected him, his mindset was shaken up – he began to commit to being the best version of himself and continuing on the road to self-development and entrepreneurship.

One thing he never forgets is that, in the grand scheme of things, we are but a speck on a flying rock hurtling through space – anything could happen at any moment, so why waste your time trying to be someone else? Everybody else is already taken – committing to being the best authentic version of yourself will earn you more respect from the right people. Don't be scared to live the life you've always dreamed of – because if Matt's life is any indication, committing to the best version of yourself can only lead to greatness.

In addition to conducting the Offering pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption, Units will be offered to accredited investors, close personal friends and business associates of directors and officers of the Company, and certain investors who have been advised on the suitability of their investment by registered investment dealers (the "Registered Advisor Exemption").

The Company has set July 6, 2020 as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to purchase Units relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption. The aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000 in a 12-month period unless the subscriber has obtained advice from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment.

Unless the Company determines to increase the gross proceeds of the Offering and receives TSXV approval for such increase, if subscriptions by existing Shareholders exceed the maximum number of Units proposed to be distributed after having first satisfied the subscriptions of those subscribers relying on other prospectus exemptions, subscribers relying on the Existing Shareholder Exemption will be entitled to a pro rata portion of the balance of Units available under the Offering.

Existing Shareholders are directed to contact the Company for further information concerning subscriptions for Units pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption, as follows:

In accordance with the requirements under the Existing Shareholder Exemption and the Registered Advisor Exemption, there is no material fact or material change about the issuer that has not been generally disclosed.

The Shares for Debt Settlement

Erin also announces that it has entered into an agreement to settle $37,743 in existing debt owing to an arm's length creditor (the "Creditor") through the issuance of common shares. Subject to approval of the TSXV, the Company agreed to issue 754,860 common shares at a deemed price of $0.05 per common share to settle the indebtedness with the Creditor.

Inspire ETFs Reduce Fees On Faith Based ESG Funds

Inspire Investing has announced fee reductions on five of its faith-based ETFs.

SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 20, 2020 / Inspire Investing has announced reductions on the creation and redemption fees charged to Authorized Participants (AP) (not retail investors) for transacting in five of their faith-based ESG funds. Reduced transaction costs for AP's can help reduce overall investment costs to retail investors by encouraging tighter spreads and greater overall efficiency when buying and selling ETF shares.

"Inspire's faith based ETFs have grown by leaps and bounds, and we have reached a size now that we are able to reduce operational costs. We expect this fee reduction to result in meaningful reductions in trading spreads, which may provide even more value to investors transacting in our ETFs," said Robert Netzly, CEO of Inspire.

Inspire ETF fee reductions are effective August 11, 2020 for the Inspire Global Hope ETF [BLES], Inspire Small/Mid Cap Impact ETF [ISMD], Inspire International ESG ETF [WWJD], Inspire 100 ETF [BIBL], and Inspire Corporate Bond Impact ETF [IBD].
