Publication of Second European Patent Application - SIRT6 Variant for NASH

LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / October 22, 2025 / Genflow Biosciences Plc (LSE:GENF)(OTCQB:GENFF) ("Genflow" or the "Company"), the only publicly listed longevity company in Europe, is pleased to announce that its second European patent application (Application No. 23821586.7, Publication No. EP4630038) titled "SIRT6 Variant for NASH" has been published in the European Patent Bulletin ("EPO").

Publication of the patent application in the European Patent Bulletin follows entry into the European phase under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) and represents a key milestone in

Genflow's expanding intellectual property (IP) portfolio.

This publication confers provisional protection under Article 67(3) of the European Patent Convention (EPC), enabling Genflow to claim retroactive damages in designated EPC states for infringing acts occurring after the publication date, once the patent is formally granted and national validation requirements are met.

Strategic Significance
This development marks continued progress in Genflow's comprehensive patent strategy to strengthen protection for its SIRT6 gene variant technologies and expand their therapeutic reach across metabolic and age-related disorders, including NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis). It also reinforces Genflow's IP leadership in the longevity and metabolic disease space, complementing the recently published EP4338267 covering the Company's core SIRT6 variant for healthy aging. Together, these filings establish a robust European patent framework supporting Genflow's therapeutic platform and upcoming clinical programs.

Dr. Eric Leire, Chief Executive Officer of Genflow Biosciences, commented: "The publication of our second European patent marks another important validation of our science and IP strategy. With both of our key SIRT6 applications now public and provisionally enforceable in Europe, we have solidified the foundation for long-term value creation, enhanced partnership potential, and future grant protection across our portfolio."
