This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is made and entered into as of 10th March 2025 by and between GenEmbryomics Limited ("GenEmbryomics") and Progenesis Inc ("Progenesis").

 

 

Background

 

GenEmbryomics is a provider of GenEmbryomics Testing Services, utilizing cutting-edge technology and highly experienced personnel to promote the effective selection of genetically healthy embryos.

 

Progenesis is a well-renowned provider of Progenesis Testing Services, focusing on cost leadership to promote the availability of assistive reproductive technology for patients. It processes over 10,000 cycles of PGT a year (about 50,000 samples) in the US and LATAM and is expanding to India and Brazil, projecting 15,000 cycles in 2025.

 

The parties wish to collaborate to enhance their respective services and market reach.

 

 

Understanding
Collaboration

 

GenEmbryomics and Progenesis agree to exclusively partner on the provision of PGT-A, PGT-M, PGT-SR and PGT-WGS services to patients. This collaboration will involve the use of Progenesis' wet lab facilities to process GenEmbryomics' samples.

 

Exclusivity

 

Progenesis agrees to exclusively process all their PGT-WGS using GenEmbryomics platform and make it available to all their clinics for PGT-A samples. GenEmbryomics will be the exclusive provider of PGT-WGS services for Progenesis' clients for USA and LATAM, and prospectively, India and Brazil.

 

Commitment

 

Progenesis and GenEmbryomics will join forces to offer PGTM cases to patients, offering a more complete solution for known single gene condition and denovo mutations. This effort may lead to approximately 1000 samples in the first year and grow over the years to capture the 50,000 PGTM samples available in the US alone.
