commercialisation of science and the creation of high growth
technology businesses that address global markets. Amongst other

technology businesses such as Oxford Nanopore Technologies plc and
Ceres Power Holdings Plc. He contributed to the growth of dozens of
businesses in the life sciences, manufacturing and sustainability
industries.
Alan is currently non-executive chairman of OxCCU Limited, an
Oxford University spin-out focused using CO and renewable energy to
make sustainable fuels, chemicals and plastics. He also is a
director of both Trellix Limited and Rio AI Limited, which are
applying Artificial Intelligence to address business problems.

Group at a price of 0.1p per share, prior to his starting date. A

per cent of the total voting rights in the Company.
Mark Warne, Chief Executive of DeepMatter, said:
"On behalf of everyone at Deepmatter, I would like to thank
Karen for her valued contribution and support over the last 20
months which sees the business well positioned for the market
opportunity ahead of it. We are delighted that Alan will join us as
we enter the next phase of growth."
Karen Bach , Chair of Deepmatter said:
"Over the past 20 months the Group has built a great team and
established the building blocks to commercialise both data and
technology. I am proud of the progress we made in this early
commercialisation phase. The business has an exciting delivery
phase ahead and I wish the team well."
Alan Aubrey , Chairman-designate of DeepMatter, commented:
"I am joining Deepmatter at a very exciting and dynamic time.
Chemistry touches all our lives but the research and development of
new chemical formulae remains relatively unsophisticated.
"Our vision is to build the capabilities for scientists to
access and exploit vast amounts of chemical reaction data. Our
SmartChemistry(TM) platform provides easy access and exploitation
of the data in order to make chemical reaction discovery and design
faster, safer, more efficient and increasingly sustainable. The
recently announced multi-year SmartChemistry(TM) contracts with
Standigm and Springer Nature are evidence of this. "
