As Head of Investor Relations & Communication Anne Worsøe will oversee the

communication between Ultimovacs' management, investors and the broader public.

With 20 years of experience within the investment industry, she has extensive

extraordinary team of visionary scientists and industry leaders, making a real

impact for cancer patients. I am genuinely enthusiastic about the journey ahead

for the company. "

"Ultimovacs can attract highly talented people across many disciplines and

geographies, and we are very excited to welcome Orla and Anne to our team. Both

bring substantial expertise to Ultimovacs at a time when the company is being

increasingly recognized as a global leader in therapeutic cancer vaccines," says

CEO Carlos de Sousa.

About Ultimovacs:

Ultimovacs' mission is to and extend and improve the life of patients by

enabling the immune system to fight cancer. The Company is developing immune-

stimulatory vaccines to treat a broad range of cancers. Ultimovacs' lead

universal cancer vaccine candidate UV1 targets human telomerase (hTERT), present

in over 80% of cancers in all stages of tumor growth. By directing the immune

system to hTERT antigens, UV1 drives CD4 helper T cells to the tumor to activate

an immune system cascade and increase anti-tumor responses. With a broad Phase

II program, Ultimovacs aims to clinically demonstrate UV1's impact in multiple

cancer types in combination with other immunotherapies. Ultimovacs' second

technology approach, based on the proprietary Tetanus-Epitope-Targeting (TET)

platform, combines tumor-specific peptides and adjuvant in the same molecule and

entered Phase I studies in 2021.
