HENDERSON MORLEY PLC
(AIM: HML)
FURTHER RE GRANT APPLICATION
The Board of Henderson Morley plc ("Henderson Morley"), the AIM quoted biotechnology company, announces that, following its application for Grant Funding from the Queensland Government funded Research Industry Partnership Programme ("RIPP") as announced on 5 November 2009, it has been notified by the Queensland Institute of Medical Research ("QIMR") that the application has been unsuccessful, even though it was short listed.
The Cytomegalovirus Vaccine funding was not granted due to a shortage of funds within RIPP despite having been recommended to the Minister of Health.
Commenting, Andrew Knight, Henderson Morley's Executive Chairman, said "We continue to make applications for Grant funding both in the UK and Overseas and whilst we are disappointed not to have been successful on this occasion, we remain optimistic that we will receive Grant Funding in the future."
