-
Receipt of second milestone payment from Kyocera Corporation for A$5.6M as part of Progenza™ OA licence and collaboration deal.
-
Appointment of experienced executive and healthcare entrepreneur, Karolis Rosickas, as Regeneus CEO. Preceding Regeneus CEO, Leo Lee, remains on the Board as a Non-Executive Director.

New Sygenus patent to be granted in Canada for the treatment of acne until 2032.
Regeneus Ltd (ASX: RGS) ( Regeneus or the Company ), a clinical-stage regenerative medicine company, today released its quarterly cash flow report and review of operational activities for the period ending 31 December 2020 (the quarter).
Operational highlights
During the quarter, Regeneus received a second milestone payment from Japanese manufacturer Kyocera Corporation (Kyocera, TYO:6971) of A$5.6M, following the delivery of the initial Progenza™ OA data package and pursuant with the terms of the licence and collaboration agreement.
As the partnership continues to progress, a third milestone payment from Kyocera will be triggered by the completion of the Progenza™ OA technology transfer, with subsequent milestone payments expected thereafter under the agreement.
The company announced the appointment of Karolis Rosickas, who commenced his role as the Chief Executive Officer of Regeneus on 2 November 2020. Mr. Rosickas brings to Regeneus over 15 years’ business experience in healthcare, technology and finance in Asia and Europe, including being the co-founder of SingCell, a stem cell contract development and manufacturing organisation in Singapore.
Regeneus continues to benefit from the strategic guidance of its preceding Chief Executive Officer, Leo Lee, who remains on the Regeneus Board as a Non-Executive Director.
A key priority for Regeneus is to expand its patent portfolio, as the Company explores new indications in neuropathic pain, inflammatory disease and skin conditions for its lead stem cell technology platforms Progenza™ and Sygenus,

In line with this strategy the company is pleased to advise two new additions to its patent portfolio:
On 1 October 2020, Regeneus received a Notice of Acceptance for an Australian patent application covering the use of biomarkers to monitor disease progression for stem cell therapy. Unlike Regeneus’ other patents, which are directly related to its technology platforms (Progenza™ and Sygenus), this patent allows the Company to monitor inflammatory conditions. Regeneus already holds the corresponding patent in Japan.
On 7 October 2020, the Company was granted a new patent in Canada for its other lead technology platform, Sygenus, covering the topical treatment of acne using adipose tissue-derived secretions. This patent supports the diverse opportunity for Sygenus as Secretome-only technology platform, and expands its potential to address globally prevalent skin conditions, such as acne.
Key Sygenus patents now cover all key target markets, including the United States, Japan, Europe, Australia, and Canada.
Financial update
The Company’s cash balance as at 31 December 2020 was A$4.095M, with net operating cash inflow for the quarter at A$6.37M, including the A$5.6M milestone payment received from Kyocera as part of the Progenza™ OA deal. Net operating cash outflow for the quarter was A$2.66M, attributed to R&D activities, staff costs and corporate costs.
Outlook
Regeneus Chief Executive Officer Karolis Rosickas said the Company remains focused on progressing its partnership with Kyocera to bring Progenza™ OA to market in Japan.
“I am very pleased with the progress of the Kyocera agreement, which has provided additional non-dilutive funding via our second milestone payment, and further milestone payments expected. We have a positive working relationship and both parties are working at full speed to bring the product to market as soon as possible.
“Furthermore, as we build out our patent portfolio, we continue to add value to the company’s assets, while prioritising indications that will advance the pipeline of opportunity for our unique stem cell technology.
“I look forward to sharing the Company’s plans and strategic direction for 2021 with our shareholders in due course,” said Mr. Rosickas.
