2 Overview of Contents Cellca History Overview: Cellca Technology Platform Products & Services 4 Key Parameters: Why Cellca? 5 Contact Information 2

3 Cellca History Founded by Dr. Cayli Focus: R&D, integrate molecular & cellular biology with process knowhow Product Development Building Infrastructure First technology transfer Growing the company & customer base Completed 48 projects 2015 Improving the platform & performance Growing internationally as a part of Sartorius group 3

4 Overview: Cellca Technology Platform Cellca CMO/Client Cell Line Development Process Development Process Transfer GMP Production Downstream Processing Fill & Finish Host cell line Expression Vector Media System Upstream Process Design Host Cell Line: CHO DG44 growth in suspension, 18 h doubling time, long term stability Expression Vector: DHFR selection system, low DHFR expression, S/MAR elements, optimal signal peptide Media System: Optimized, chemically defined, free of animal components, proteins & peptones, high cell densities, viabilities & productivity Upstream Process Design: robust, easy to scale, proven performance in various bioreactor systems 4

5 Products & Services FEE FOR SERVICE Our service is divided into individual work packages starting from DNA synthesis to RCB generation, stability studies, or process confirmation in lab-scale bioreactors. TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM LICENSING Technology transfer to enable in-house generation of high producing cell lines MEDIA SUPPLY All parts of the media system are completely chemically defined and optimized for the different stages. They are commercially available. 5

6 Key Parameters: Why Cellca? Speed Track Record Scalability Performance Customer Focus 6

7 Speed From DNA to RCB within 4-5 months. No need for media and process development. Save up to 3 months by omitting scalability studies! Vector Cloning Transfection and Pool Generation Single Cell Cloning Clone Evaluation RCB Preparation From DNA to RCB in 4 to 5 months 7

8 Scalability Cellca technology platform was developed from scratch specifically for the industrial production Focused development at Cellca lead to a process providing: Direct and robust scale-up to production scale No need for scalability studies 8
