Intuitive Investments Group plc

Investment in CardiNor AS

Intuitive Investments Group plc (AIM: IIG) ("IIG" or the "Company"), a closed-end investment company focussed on the life sciences sector, announces an investment of GBP125,000 to acquire ordinary shares in CardiNor AS ("CardiNor"), representing a 1.8 per cent. interest in CardiNor's enlarged share capital.

CardiNor is a Norwegian biotech company established in June 2015 to commercialise the development of secretoneurin ("SN"), an important new biomarker for cardiovascular disease ("CVD"). SN is the only biomarker shown to be associated with biological processes linked to cardiomyocyte handling. This unique biological function explains why SN presents as an independent and strong predictor of mortality in all major patient cohorts, including ventricular arrhythmia, acute heart failure, acute respiratory failure patients with CVD and severe sepsis. CardiNor has completed development of a research assay based on immunoassay technology to measure SN in blood and the assay is under further clinical development, including to obtain a CE mark. More information can be found at: https://cardinor.com/ .

In the year ended 31 December 2020 , per CardiNor's unaudited management accounts, it achieved a loss after tax of approximately GBP141,000 and, as at 31 December 2020, had net assets of approximately GBP500,000, assuming an exchange rate of 11.87NOK/GBP.
