DNA Script Raises $38.5 Million in Series B Financing DNA Script Raises $38.5 Million in Series B Financing Oversubscribed round led by LSP will fund accelerated product development and commercial operations in the U.S. PARIS, May 16, 2019 - DNA Script today announced an oversubscribed Series B fundraising of $38.5M led by LSP, one of Europe's largest and most experienced healthcare investment rms. Bpifrance, through its Large Venture fund, joined the round, alongside existing investors Illumina Ventures, M. Ventures, Sonnova Partners, Kurma Partners and Idinvest Partners. The proceeds will enable DNA Script to accelerate the development of the company's rst products based on its industry-leading enzymatic technology for de novo synthesis of nucleic acids. The company is prioritizing the recruitment of top talent in the U.S. for its product development and commercialization teams in preparation for product launch, as well as on expanding its Paris-based research team. DNA Script's innovative technology provides affordable, rapid, high-quality production of important genomic experimental precursors, such as oligonucleotides. The technology overcomes many of the ineciencies of today's synthetic DNA production. It features a novel biochemical process for nucleic acids synthesis based on the use of highly ecient enzymes, thus enabling enhanced performance while minimizing the use of harsh chemicals. The product portfolio based on DNA Script's proprietary enzymatic synthesis platform will enable molecular biology researchers to accelerate their experiments — with the goal of moving from design to results within a day for a broad range of applications. "In less than two years since our last nancing round, the DNA Script team has developed enzymatic synthesis technology at an incredibly fast pace and extended the company's lead in this exciting and quickly expanding sector. As we announced earlier this year at the AGBT General Meeting, DNA Script was the rst company to enzymatically synthesize a 200mer oligo de novo with an average coupling eciency that rivals the best organic chemical processes in use today. Our technology is now reliable enough for its rst commercial applications, which we believe will deliver the promise of same-day results to researchers everywhere, with DNA synthesis that can be completed in just a few hours," said Thomas Ybert, CEO and cofounder of DNA Script. "We are thrilled to lead this round with participation of such a respected group of founders and investors. We see DNA Script as the clear leader in this nascent eld," said Joachim (JR) Rothe, Managing Partner at LSP and new member of DNA Script's board. "The progress made by DNA Script in only two years is amazing, and we believe the company will shift the current DNA synthesis paradigm, not only in the research market but also in the broader pharma business — for personalized therapies and diagnostics in particular." About DNA Script Founded in 2014 in Paris, DNA Script is the world's leading company in manufacturing de novo synthetic nucleic acids using an enzymatic technology. The company aims at accelerating innovation in life sciences and technology through rapid, affordable, and high-quality DNA synthesis.

    PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: THE PRIVATE DEBT TOP 100 ■ The 100 Largest Fund Managers ■ The 100 Largest Institutional Investors AUGUST 2018 PREQIN SPECIAL REPORT: THE PRIVATE DEBT TOP 100 FOREWORD s reported in the 2018 Preqin Global Private Debt Report, the private debt asset class in 2017 was characterized by a trend Atowards greater capital concentration: 17% fewer funds reached a final close than in 2016, while a record $107bn was secured among fund managers. Average fund size increased to $869mn, a leap of $171mn from the previous year. Capital remains concentrated among the top GPs, as the 10 largest funds closed in 2017 secured over a third of total capital raised in the year. Institutional investor appetite for the private debt asset class is strong, with 98% of investors surveyed by Preqin at the end of 2017 planning to increase or maintain their private debt allocations in the long term. The 100 largest private debt LPs have a combined $172bn invested in the asset class, which represents nearly a quarter (22%) of all capital invested in the space. The top LPs are the main drivers behind the growth in prominence of the largest fund managers, as they require GPs to be of sufficient scale to accept and deploy increasingly large commitments. With the objective of providing greater insight into who the most influential players are, Preqin is pleased to provide a comprehensive ranking for the first time of the top 100 GPs and LPs within the private debt asset class, taken from our platform. For the purpose of this report, the GP rankings have been compiled based on the total value of private debt funds raised by each GP in the past 10 years – this includes any capital raised by owned subsidiaries.

International funds continued to show a noticeable interest in investing in our country. If in 2013 17 funds (an historical maximum) invested in Spain for the first time, last year there were 14. These are amazing figures when we bear in mind that in the years prior to this the average was around 5.
