Arbutus Has a Dominant IP Position in LNP-Enabled Delivery VANCOUVER, British Columbia and DOYLESTOWN, Pa., June 30, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (Nasdaq:ABUS), an industry-leading Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) therapeutic solutions company, today announced presentation of recent Lipid Nanoparticle (LNP) delivery technology advancements by Dr. Peter Lutwyche, Arbutus’ Chief Technology Officer, at the 32nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Society of Drug Delivery System held June 30, 2016 in Shizuoka, Japan. This presentation includes in vivo data showing that Arbutus’ industry-leading proprietary LNP delivery system has been used to enable potent delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) with very high and persistent expression levels. “We are the leaders in LNP delivery which features prominently in our HBV strategy. We also hold a dominant intellectual property (IP) position in this field. We have applied our extensive technical expertise and clinical experience gained from our LNP-based programs to further advance our platform technology and its broad application to mRNA delivery,” said Dr. Mark J. Murray, Arbutus’ President and CEO. “Arbutus’ proven capability in the rapid formulation, manufacture and supply of LNP-RNA based products can quickly enable partners’ product candidates to advance to the clinic. While the core mission of Arbutus is to develop curative treatment regimens for HBV, our LNP technology is a valuable asset and a source of significant potential non-dilutive funding for the company.” About Arbutus
