▪ The R&D Tax Credit is a cash receipt from the UK Tax Authority (HMRC). Cash is paid to the Company in
return for the surrendering of tax losses. The R&D Tax Credit is a function of R&D spend and we expect
the amount to grow as we increase R&D. For 2020 a Tax Credit of £10.4m was recognised.
Within certain limits, we can expect an R&D Tax Credit of roughly one third of our R&D expenditure for
a given year
Expected opex of ~€85m for 2021, largely related to R&D (~50%), with the balance split between
Product & Technology (the BenevolentAl Platform) and G&A expenses
Annual opex is expected to double by 2025
Cutting-edge equipment and facilities already in place in Cambridge, UK
~€1-2m p.a. for the next two years. Capex is light (cloud computing, existing well-equipped lab)
