(NASDAQ: REPL), a clinical stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of a novel class of tumor-directed oncolytic immunotherapies,

at the end of his current term at the company's upcoming annual general meeting.
"It has been a pleasure working with Sander since the inception

Replimune Group, Inc., headquartered
in Woburn, MA, was founded in 2015 with the mission to transform cancer treatment by pioneering the development of novel tumor-directed
oncolytic immunotherapies. Replimune's proprietary RPx platform is based on a potent HSV-1 backbone with payloads added to maximize
immunogenic cell death and the induction of a systemic anti-tumor immune response. The RPx platform has a unique dual local and systemic
mechanism of action consisting of direct selective virus-mediated killing of the tumor resulting in the release of tumor derived antigens
and altering of the tumor microenvironment to ignite a strong and durable systemic response. This MOA is expected to be synergistic with
most established and experimental cancer treatment modalities, and, with an attractive safety profile the RPx platform has the versatility
to be developed alone or combined with a variety of other treatment options. For more information, please visit www.replimune.com.
