Poseida Raises $110 Million in Private Financing Round

Dublin-Ireland, 25 June 2020 : Malin Corporation plc. (Euronext Growth Dublin:MLC) (Malin), a company investing in highly innovative life sciences companies, today notes that Poseida Therapeutics, Inc. (Poseida), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company and one of Malin's Priority Assets, has announced the closing of a Series D financing round, raising $110 million, led by funds advised by Fidelity Management Research Company, LLC, with participation from several new institutional investors.

Proceeds from the financing will be used to advance the company's ongoing clinical trials, expand the research and development of Poseida's pipeline programmes, as well as general corporate expenditure. Malin did not participate in the financing round and the completion of the round will not materially increase the last disclosed fair value estimate of Malin's investment in Poseida of EUR111 million at 31 December 2019.

Poseida has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration Statement) with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) relating to a proposed initial public offering in the US of shares of Poseida's common stock.

Poseida has applied to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "PSTX". The number of shares of common stock to be offered and the price range for the proposed offering have not yet been determined. The initial public offering is expected to commence after the SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions.

The Registration Statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the Registration Statement becomes effective. The offering will be made only by means of a prospectus. A copy of the preliminary prospectus, when available, may be obtained from the SEC's EDGAR database and contains further information relating to Poseida.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
