Melbourne, Australia, 29 April 2021:

Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX: GTG; NASDAQ: GENE, “Company”, “GTG”), a diversified Genomics and AI driven preventative health care business company is pleased to provide its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ending 31 March 2021, together with the attached Appendix 4C.

Highlights

● Strong cash balance of A$22.98 million as at 31 March 2021 provides runway to fund current planned commercialisation opportunities and product development

● Net cash used for operations of A$1.08 million a decrease on prior quarter (Q2 FY21: A$1.48 million)

● The Company received A$0.7 million in R&D Tax Refund payments

● Signed landmark multiyear US licence agreement with Infinity Biologix for the COVID-19 Serious Disease Risk Test

● Post quarter end, confirmed the regulatory approval for the commercial release of the COVID-19 Risk Test in the United States (ref: ASX Announcement 26 April 2021)

● Engaging with government to discuss the importance of preventative health and precision medicine with a recent engagement with Senator David Van facilitated by Research Australia

● Appointment of Simon Morriss to the role of Chief Executive Officer and post quarter end appointment of Mike Tonroe to the role of Chief Financial Officer

Simon Morriss, CEO of Genetic Technologies, stated “This quarter was a key inflection point in the Company’s transition from its research focused heritage to active commercialisation of its product base. We are proactively focused on pursuing further commercialisation opportunities for our products in development to follow on from the signing of our first multi-year sales and distribution agreement with US based Infinity Biologix (‘IBX’) for our COVID-19 Serious Disease Risk Test (‘COVID-19 Risk Test’).

“The landmark co-exclusive licence agreement not only validated GTG’s technology and capabilities, but also provides a substantial distribution opportunity for our COVID-19 Risk Test in conjunction with the over 100,000 SARS-CoV-2 tests IBX processes per day.

“This marks the first agreement that leverages the initiatives and products the team have developed. We anticipate that as we progress our product development pipeline that further distribution opportunities will be established and will embed GTG as an innovative company focused on diversified genomics and AI driven preventative healthcare.”

Commercialisation Update

Licence Agreement for COVID-19 Serious Disease Risk Test

The three-year co-exclusive licence agreement between IBX and GTG for the production, distribution, sales and marketing of GTG’s COVID-19 Risk Test in the US, announced on 3 March 2021, represents a key advancement in the company’s commercialisation strategy during the quarter.

Quarterly Activities Report for the quarter ended 31 March 2021

IBX are a leading central laboratory in the US, supporting academia, government, and industry. Through three well established labs and a network of testing partners, IBX provide sample collection and processing, storage, and analytical services, integrated with scientific and technical support in both the research and clinical arenas.

IBX is required to make minimum payments to GTG totaling US$2.9 million over the three-year term to maintain exclusivity. Revenues can exceed these levels through the underlying royalty structure, whereby GTG will be paid US$10 on a per test basis.

IBX have the capacity to process over 100,000 COVID-19 Risk Tests per day and is well positioned with an existing network of SARS-CoV-2 testing partners and associated medical practitioners across the US.

The Company confirms the submission of the COVID-19 Risk Test regulatory pack to the regulators¹. In conjunction with prior correspondence with the regulators this submission enables the commercial release within the United States Final steps in the technical interface are being built with additional capabilities for the telehealth platform to enable sales of GTG’s COVID-19 Risk Test and further products² within markets outside of the United States. The Company will provide further updates on regional releases as and when they are confirmed.

The commercial release is expected to occur no later than the end of May once the technical interface for the United States telehealth platform is completed by IBXs telehealth partners.

Commercialisation Strategy for Broader Product Portfolio

The Company has previously outlined its key avenues for commercialisation of launched products which currently include the consumer-initiated testing and online sales and marketing platform (CIT) available in Australia and the US. Additionally, GTG are engaging in sales via medical professionals for business to business (B2B) purposes and direct to consumer (DTC) products under consideration including non-medical based genetic and gut microbiome testing, subject to regulatory approval of target markets.

With GTG now having distribution coverage of the Australian and US geographies. Europe and the UK are the next regions the company intends to enter, and the Company is assessing the CE certification requirements for its products and will update the market on its progress within this geography as further clarity on timing is obtained. An Asian market entry for relevant products will also be assessed in due course.

Product Overview and Regulatory Progress

GeneType Breast Cancer and Colorectal Cancer Screening and Germline Testing Platform

GTG continues to progress the development of its Germline Testing division for hereditary testing. The initial BRCA and Lynch Syndrome tests, that align with GTG’s GeneType products in market for Breast Cancer and Colorectal Cancer respectively, are anticipated to launch by the end of CY21. These tests are being structured to include all known hereditary and non-hereditary risk factors across the Germline tests and GTG’s PRS testing. BRCA and Lynch Syndrome tests also have existing reimbursement codes, which provides a clear pathway to monetisation and an opportunity to bundle with their associated PRS tests.

1 Regulators include the Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services / Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CMS/CLIA) and New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH)/Clinical Laboratory Evaluation Program (CLEP). For COVID-19 testing, we are following a policy March 2020 FDA policy allowing laboratories to initiate patient testing once the assay has been:

a) Validated and approved by the laboratory director/ responsible Certificate of Qualification Holder; and

b) Submitted to CLEP via hard copy and digital.

Quarterly Activities Report for the quarter ended 31 March 2021

The Company continues to engage in discussions with Medicare to enable the Company to secure a rebate for PRS tests conducted. This remains a longer-term objective and is expected to support distribution through the B2B channel.

COVID-19 Risk Test

In November 2020, Genetic Technologies incorporated the expanded COVID-19 Risk Test data set which included an additional ~4,000 infected patients following the UK biobank’s release of confirmed COVID-19 positive patients. Following this and outlined above the Company has signed a three-year co-exclusive licence agreement with IBX for the production, distribution, sales and marketing of GTG’s COVID-19 Risk Test in the US.

GeneType Multitest

GTG’s PRS products under development will ultimately be offered as part of the GeneType Multitest platform, which will provide risk assessment for greater than 70% of all morbidities including Breast Cancer, Colorectal Cancer, Cardiovascular Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Melanoma and Prostate Cancer. Products for each morbidity will be offered both as standalone tests and as part of the consolidated Multitest offering. Updates on product progression and the Multitest offering will be provided as progressed over CY21.

GTG have confirmed TGA clearance of the PREDICTIX product by Taliaz and will be highlighting the product at the upcoming General Practice Conference and Exhibition (GPCE) in Sydney in mid-May.

Research and Publications

GTG continues to focus on publications of relevant content for submission to peer-reviewed journals. The Company confirms the below articles, authored by employees of Genetic Technologies, were made available over the quarter and are still subject to peer-review process, on the MedRxiv preprint server site under the titles of:

● ‘Development and validation of a clinical and genetic model for predicting risk of severe COVID-19’ authored by Dite, Murphy and Allman; and

● ‘The health effects in the US of quarantine policies based on predictive individual risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes’ authored by Lovick, Dite and Allman

Before formal publication in a scholarly journal, scientific and medical articles are traditionally certified by “peer review.” In this process, the journal’s editors take advice from various experts—called “referees”—who have assessed the paper and may identify weaknesses in its assumptions, methods, and conclusions. Typically, a journal will only publish an article once the editors are satisfied that the authors have addressed referees’ concerns and that the data presented support the conclusions drawn in the paper. Because this process can be lengthy, authors use the medRxiv service to make their manuscripts available as “preprints” before certification by peer review, allowing other scientists to see, discuss, and comment on the findings immediately. Readers should therefore be aware that articles on medRxiv have not been finalized by authors, might contain errors, and report information that has not yet been accepted or endorsed in any way by the scientific or medical community. Work that appears on medRxiv preprints has yet to be evaluated by the medical community and the information presented may be erroneous.

Quarterly Activities Report for the quarter ended 31 March 2021

The Dite, Murphy and Allman article outlines the outcomes from the analysis of an updated dataset of 2,205 cases and 5,416 control patients. The increased sample numbers have enabled separation into test and validation datasets, a key requirement for commercialisation.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to be at the forefront of public health discussions with varying success on infection control measures and social distancing protocols. The Company has therefore conducted modelling studies to evaluate the application of the COVID-19 Risk Test in workforce and population management, described in the Lovick, Dite and Allman article.

Social distancing demonstrably reduces pandemic harm but comes with potential significant economic cost. This study was designed to understand whether the economic harms could be mitigated by a targeted approach to population management based on an assessment of likely individual COVID-19 severity.

Both papers have been simultaneously submitted for publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals, however, given the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has made the data publicly available on the pre-print site at this early stage.

Corporate and Financial Overview

During the March quarter, net cash payments to directors was A$92k comprising salary of A$34k to the Chief Medical Officer (formerly the acting Chief Executive Officer), A$41k to non-executive directors, and consulting fees paid to a non-executive director of A$17k.

Glossary of terms and acronyms

Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) - Regulates laboratory testing and require clinical laboratories to be certified by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) before they can accept human samples for diagnostic testing

Consumer Initiated Tests (CIT) - laboratory testing that is initiated by the consumer without a physician order but reviewed and communicated back to the consumer via a physician.

Direct to Consumer (DTC) – laboratory testing that is initiated by the consumer without a physician order. The results are reported back directly to the consumer.

Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) - an approach used in genetics research to associate specific genetic variations with particular diseases. The method involves scanning the genomes from many different people and looking for genetic markers that can be used to predict the presence of a disease. Once such genetic markers are identified, they can be used to understand how genes contribute to the disease and develop better prevention and treatment strategies.

Germline Testing – Germline testing is done on cells that do not have cancer. It is done to see if a person has a gene mutation that is known to increase the risk of developing cancers and other health problems. This test uses cells (such as blood or skin cells) that do not have any cancer cells. Germline mutations can sometimes be passed down from parents.

Laboratory Developed Tests (LDT) – A type of in vitro diagnostic test that is designed, manufactured and used within a single laboratory.

Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) - A polygenic risk score tells you how a person’s risk compares to others with a different genetic constitution. However, polygenic scores do not provide a baseline or timeframe for the progression of a disease. For example, consider two people with high polygenic risk scores for having coronary heart disease.

Serious Disease Risk (SDR) - Risk associated with acquiring COVID-19 and requiring hospitalisation with its associated morbidities and mortalities.

National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) - the authority responsible for the accreditation of laboratories, inspection bodies, calibration services, producers of certified reference materials and proficiency testing scheme providers throughout Australia. It is also Australia’s compliance monitoring authority for the OECD Principles of GLP. NATA provides independent assurance of technical competence through a proven network of best practice industry experts for customers who require confidence in the delivery of their products and services.

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) – Next-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as high-throughput sequencing, is the catch-all term used to describe a number of different modern sequencing technologies. These technologies allow for sequencing of DNA and RNA much more quickly and cheaply than the previously used Sanger sequencing, and as such revolutionised the study of genomics and molecular biology.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) - the most common type of genetic variation among people. Each SNP represents a difference in a single DNA building block, called a nucleotide
