Over the past year, Adicet achieved several development and operational milestones including the initiation

Dr. Don Healey as Chief Technology Officer and Dr. Bastiano Sanna and Dr. Andrew Sinclair to our Board of Directors, said Chen Schor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Adicet. Recently, we successfully raised
significant capital to support further development of our robust pipeline comprising of gamma delta T cell therapies. These accomplishments have put us in a strong position to execute on our Phase 1 study of ADI-001, with interim clinical data
expected in 2021, and expand our pipeline of off-the-shelf gamma delta T cell therapies that will potentially provide for a targeted, durable, and on demand treatment option for solid and hematologic tumors.
