Announces the Departure of Dr. Otello Stampacchia
from its Board of Directors
Woburn, MA, January 31, 2022 - Replimune Group Inc. (NASDAQ:
REPL), a clinical stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of a novel class of tumor-directed oncolytic immunotherapies,
today announced Otello Stampacchia, Ph.D., of Omega Funds, has resigned from the company's Board of Directors. Dr. Stampacchia joined
the Replimune Board in 2015, concurrent with Omega co-leading Replimune's seed financing. Dr. Stampacchia has resigned to focus
his efforts on his growing commitments at Omega and its many portfolio companies.
"I would personally like to thank Otello for his numerous contributions
to Replimune's Board of Directors as we have grown from concept to a late-stage development company" said Philip Astley-Sparke,
Chief Executive Officer of Replimune. "We are grateful for his service and I am joined by other directors and members of Replimune's
executive team in wishing him well."
"I am proud to have served on the Board since 2015, shortly
following Replimune's inception. This was the first seed investment Omega made from fund IV and it was clear from the early days
that Replimune offered a novel approach to potentially transforming cancer treatment with its tumor-directed oncolytic immunotherapies.
It has been a pleasure working so closely with the Replimune team as an early investor and member of the Board as it has matured into
the undisputed leader in the field," said Dr. Stampacchia. "I look forward to following Replimune's progress in establishing
a new cornerstone of immuno-oncology regimens."
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 offers a unique dual, local and systemic, mechanism of action
(MOA) consisting of direct selective virus-mediated killing of the tumor resulting in the release of tumor derived antigens and altering
of the tumor microenvironment (TME) 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.
