NetScientific plc

("NetScientific" or the "Company")

Name change and AIM Rule 26 website

NetScientific Plc (AIM: NSCI), the deep tech and life sciences VC investment group, is pleased to announce that it has changed its name to "EMV Capital plc".

Regulatory information concerning the Company's name change

The Company was issued by Companies House with a change of name certificate on 25 September 2024 and the name change from "NetScientific plc" to "EMV Capital plc" became effective immediately upon such receipt. Similarly, the Company's wholly owned venture capital and corporate finance firm, EMV Capital Limited, has changed its name to EMV Capital Partners Limited with immediate effect.

The Company confirms that its change of name has been notified to the London Stock Exchange and trading in the Company's shares under the new company name and new TIDM code, "EMVC", is expected to commence at 8.00 a.m. on 26 September 2024. The Company's ISIN and SEDOL remain unchanged.

In conjunction with its name change, the Company's website address will change to emvcapital.com. All information required by Rule 26 of the AIM Rules for Companies will be located on the "Investors" section of the website with effect from 8.00 a.m. on 26 September 2024.

Shareholders rights are unaffected by these changes and existing share certificates should be retained and remain valid.

Background to the Company's name change and rebranding

The rebranding marks the culmination of NetScientific's strategic evolution, since acquiring EMV Capital in 2020, to a fully integrated venture capital and corporate finance business.

The Group has grown substantially in both scale and scope since its inception. In 2019, the Group's portfolio fair value stood at approximately £8 million. Today, through its capital-efficient model and strategic value-creation services, the Group has established itself as a key player in venture capital, spanning deep tech, life sciences, and other innovative sectors. The EMV Capital brand, used by the Group since 2020, is already highly regarded and well established in this space, and as such the name change and rebranding across the Group is a logical step towards unifying the Group's offerings to its stakeholders.

EMV Capital plc now manages a diversified portfolio of over 70 companies with estimated AUM exceeding £100 million (as announced on 13 June 2024), significantly expanding beyond its origins and is uniquely positioned to leverage its expertise across fund management, corporate finance, and portfolio growth services to deliver positive returns for investors, even when market conditions remain challenging.

As EMV Capital plc, the Group continues its expansion beyond life sciences into deep tech, including sectors such as sustainability, digital health, and advanced materials. The Company's ability to provide fund management, corporate finance, and syndication services across its portfolio enables it to identify, nurture, and accelerate the growth of early-stage companies. By offering hands-on support through each growth phase, EMV Capital is committed to helping companies scale while delivering meaningful societal impact.

With a goal to further grow Assets Under Management, the Group aims to scale its capital-efficient investment model, expand its fund management practice, and enhance the value of its portfolio through targeted investments and value-creation services.

Dr. Ilian Iliev, CEO of EMV Capital plc, commented:

"Since acquiring EMV Capital in 2020, we have consolidated our operations, significantly grown our portfolio, and expanded our strategic focus. This new identity for our Group reflects our business today-an agile, multi-sector venture capital firm committed to delivering superior returns from innovative, high-growth companies.

"With Assets Under Management having surpassed £100 million, this milestone highlights our success in navigating a challenging market and underscores our ambitious plans for the future. Our continued focus on deep tech and life sciences, combined with our value-creation approach, positions EMV Capital to be at the forefront of driving the next wave of innovation and shareholder value."

I hope you're right BTG!!

[btgman] 24/9/2024 21:26

Interesting comments around £2 NAV. This is really interesting down here share price has now dismissed the recent Martlet Capital deal along with some fairly significant updates from several of the portfolio.
Yes £2 NAV all day long but that is hardly the story.
Glycotest looks absolutely incredible within 2 years Glycotest will be worth significantly more than £2 to NSCI on its own. We have a several high upside assets in our portfolio so for me £2 isn't the number. More likely multiples of £2

Loaf - I think you are right about AIM...

'Many AIM companies are questioning the market's future,' warns energy supplier boss

[blakieboy7] 24/9/2024 19:06

Loaf, don't forget PDSB. I'm tired of all this waiting now though!!

[beeezzz] 24/9/2024 17:01

If you've held these since 2019 you will be down 2.5p roughly....been a roller coaster...hey

[blakieboy7] 24/9/2024 14:07

So no trades and the price is down, ok then!

[blakieboy7] 24/9/2024 08:11

NSCI should have a legal obligation to release any relevant RNS's

[loafofbread] 23/9/2024 21:00

NSCI just refuse to issue any press that might have a positive impact on their share price!

All very odd considering we hold over 50% of Glycotest.

EMV CAPITAL-BACKED GLYCOTEST™ PARTNERS WITH UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA TO ACCELERATE NOVEL LIVER CANCER DIAGNOSTIC ASSAYS
SEPTEMBER 23, 2024-NEWS - NO COMMENTS - POSTED BY WEBMASTER
Merion, PA – 23 September 2024 – Glycotest, Inc. announces that it has entered into an agreement with the University of Georgia Complex Carbohydrate Research Center (CCRC) in Athens, GA to develop novel glycomic assays for its HCC Panel blood test, aimed at early-stage liver cancer detection. The agreement moves Glycotest towards commercializing its breakthrough platform, leveraging significant R&D efforts to tackle Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), the most common and lethal form of liver cancer.

Under the terms of the agreement, Glycotest will fund the development of the new assays at the CCRC, with Glycotest securing exclusive rights to the resulting intellectual property. The new assays developed by the CCRC will be deployed by Glycotest in its HCC Panel test. The assay development work will be spearheaded by Dr. Parastoo Azadi, Associate Director of CCRC Service and Training.

Glycotest is a liver disease diagnostics company commercializing new and unique blood tests for liver cancers and fibrosis-cirrhosis. The Company has made huge strides in developing its innovative diagnostic technology and the deal with CCRC, a world leader in glycoscience, marks a crucial step toward market launch.

Charles Swindell, PhD, CEO, Glycotest, commented:

“Glycotest is fortunate to partner with the CCRC—a world renowned innovator in glycoscience testing methodology—on this final chapter in making the HCC Panel test available to liver disease patients and their physicians. We believe the HCC Panel could become a significant tool for better identification of early-stage HCC patients eligible for potentially curative therapy.”

The CCRC’s expertise will enhance Glycotest’s proprietary HCC Panel, which has already shown promise in identifying early-stage liver cancer—where treatment options can be most effective. The potential market is huge, with an estimated three million patients in the US, and potentially up to 380 million patients worldwide, eligible for routine HCC surveillance testing. Glycotest employs unique non-invasive blood tests based on proprietary serum glycoprotein biomarkers, biomarker panels and assay technology that exploit novel carbohydrate-based disease signal chemistry.

The CCRC is a long-standing center of excellence in the glycosciences, the branch of science that investigates the structure, biosynthesis, and biological functions of molecules that contain carbohydrates. With expertise and resources in a rich array of sophisticated instrumental techniques key to glycoscience research, the CCRC is uniquely positioned to collaborate with Glycotest on this important project focusing on the development of superior mass spectroscopy-based glycomic assays.

Parastoo Azadi, PhD, Associate Director of the CCRC-Service and Training, said:

“Glycomic and glycoproteomic analyses possess remarkable potential for enhancing diagnostic tests, especially in the realm of liver disease. We are eager to apply our expertise in carbohydrate analysis development in collaboration with Glycotest, aiming to innovate new glycomic and glycoproteomic methodologies for glycoprotein biomarkers.”

Large Biobank Now Ready for Commercial Push

Glycotest’s proprietary HCC Panel blood test, powered by novel glycoprotein biomarkers and an advanced scoring algorithm, is intended to transform liver cancer detection. Crucially, the Company has successfully completed patient enrolment and sample collection for its HCC Panel clinical validation study, carried out across 20 major medical centers under the leadership of key opinion leaders.

This effort has resulted in the creation of a world-leading biobank, now one of the largest collections of blood samples globally for HCC test validation. The biobank provides a highly valuable resource to confirm the performance of Glycotest’s HCC Panel to identify early-stage, potentially curable liver cancer.

Some decent news out from Glycotest today. Looks like it might be worth multiple millions rather than the zero value that the NSCI share price gives it!

Thank you. I did message the BOD months ago and suggest they did something about the Glycotest website/presentation so good to see.

More to the point Glycotest valued at zero in the share price so the next 3 months should be interesting!

[loafofbread] 12/9/2024 21:40

Looks like a brand new 36 page presentation has just been uploaded to the Glycotest website.

Another decent volume day.

[kingston78] 28/8/2024 12:03

The company and its share price are testing our patience. This is a long wait, but I am sure that there is a blockbuster within its portfolio that will be bought out or floated onto the LSE at significant value.
