PRESS RELEASE

Illumina and Pacific Biosciences Announce Termination of Merger Agreement

SAN DIEGO & MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN) and Pacific Biosciences of California, Inc. (NASDAQ:PACB) today announced that they have mutually agreed to terminate their merger agreement, previously announced on November 1, 2018, under which Illumina would acquire Pacific Biosciences at a fully diluted enterprise value of approximately $1.2 billion in an all-cash transaction.

MENLO PARK, Calif., July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PacBio(NASDAQ: PACB), a leading developer of high-quality, highly accurate sequencing solutions, today announced that Novogene is using its Revio long-read sequencing system to expand the capabilities of its new lab in Munich, Germany, serving customers across the European scientific community. Novogene is a leading provider of genomic services and bioinformatics expertise, working with a wide range of leading research institutions, clinical and commercial organizations. The increased accuracy and throughput offered by the Revio are designed to enable Novogene's customers to scale in-depth genomic research across rare diseases, cancer, microbes, and agriculture in a cost-effective way.

"Bringing Revio to our German lab creates new opportunities for our customers to advance their groundbreaking research. We expect particularly high demand for the Revio from customers in the rare disease and cancer spaces, due to the sequencer's ability to uncover complex repetitive regions, structural variants, and novel isoforms that are typically missed by short-read and exome methods," comments Tingting Zhou, Vice President of Novogene. "The high fidelity of the Revio, combined with PacBio's various kits and data analysis capabilities, make it an ideal solution to provide our customers with long-read data in an economical way. We plan to integrate even more automation into the Revio's workflows to further increase efficiency and make long-reads accessible to a wider range of our customers."
