Precigen: Advancing Medicine with Precision
Precigen (Nasdaq: PGEN) is a dedicated discovery
and clinical stage biopharmaceutical company advancing the next generation of gene and cell therapies using precision technology to target
the most urgent and intractable diseases in our core therapeutic areas of immuno-oncology, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.
Our technologies enable us to find innovative solutions for affordable biotherapeutics in a controlled manner. Precigen operates as an
innovation engine progressing a preclinical and clinical pipeline of well-differentiated therapies toward clinical proof-of-concept and

UltraCAR-T is a multigenic autologous CAR-T platform
that utilizes Precigen's advanced non-viral Sleeping Beauty system to simultaneously express an antigen-specific CAR to specifically target
tumor cells, mbIL15 for enhanced in vivo expansion and persistence, and a kill switch to conditionally eliminate CAR-T cells for a potentially
improved safety profile. Precigen has advanced the UltraCAR-T platform to address the inhibitory tumor microenvironment by incorporating
a novel mechanism for intrinsic checkpoint blockade without the need for complex and expensive gene editing techniques. UltraCAR-T investigational
therapies are manufactured via Precigen's overnight manufacturing process using the proprietary UltraPorator electroporation system
at the medical center and administered to patients only one day following gene transfer. The overnight UltraCAR-T manufacturing process
does not use viral vectors and does not require ex vivo activation and expansion of T cells, potentially addressing major limitations
of current T cell therapies.
AdenoVerse Immunotherapy
Precigen's AdenoVerse immunotherapy platform utilizes
a library of proprietary adenovectors for the efficient gene delivery of therapeutic effectors, immunomodulators, and vaccine antigens
designed to modulate the immune system. Precigen's gorilla adenovectors, part of the AdenoVerse library, have potentially superior performance
characteristics as compared to current competition. AdenoVerse immunotherapies have been shown to generate high-level and durable antigen-specific
neutralizing antibodies and effector T cell immune responses as well as an ability to boost these antibody and T cell responses via repeat
administration. Superior performance characteristics and high yield manufacturing of AdenoVerse vectors combined with UltraVector
technology allows Precigen to engineer cutting-edge investigational gene therapies to treat complex diseases.
The UltraPorator system is an exclusive device
and proprietary software solution for the scale-up of rapid and cost-effective manufacturing of UltraCAR-T therapies and potentially represents
a major advancement over current electroporation devices by significantly reducing the processing time and contamination risk. The UltraPorator
device is a high-throughput, semi-closed electroporation system for modifying T cells using Precigen's proprietary non-viral gene transfer
technology. UltraPorator is being utilized for clinical manufacturing of Precigen's investigational UltraCAR-T therapies in compliance
with current good manufacturing practices.
