Article content
As deployed, HYFT is intended to help pharmaceutical and biotechnology organizations:
Article content
- Identify potential functional competitors earlier, including AI-designed or convergently evolved assets that sequence-based comparisons may miss
- Strengthen in-licensing and M&A diligence efforts by assessing functional overlap, not only sequence similarity
- Inform patent strategy under heightened scrutiny of function-based claims by grounding how functional space is characterized and supported
- Improve R&D portfolio choices and capital allocation by prioritizing differentiated opportunities and identifying crowded functional areas earlier
Article content
MindWalk plans to engage pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other organizations to explore collaborations and commercial arrangements that deploy HYFT-based functional intelligence across discovery, diligence, and portfolio decision workflows. This is designed to integrate with MindWalk’s end-to-end data platform, which unifies sequence, structure, function, and literature within a single operational framework.
Article content
This approach is designed to shift organizations from backward-looking analysis to forward-looking functional decision-making, aligning scientific discovery, competitive intelligence, IP strategy, and capital deployment as AI accelerates therapeutic design.

Forward-Looking Statements
Article content
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable United States and Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “targets,” “seeks,” “potential,” or similar expressions, or by statements that certain actions, events, or results are expected to occur or be achieved.
Article content
Forward-looking statements in this press release include, without limitation, statements regarding: the interpretation and significance of observations derived from the application of the Company’s HYFT® technology; the identification, characterization, and relevance of conserved functional patterns and functional adjacency; the hypothesis that such patterns may support rational design toward broadly protective influenza immunogens; the relevance of functional adjacency to competitive intelligence, intellectual property strategy, business development, and portfolio decision-making; the intended role of HYFT-based analysis in evaluating functional competition, IP exposure, or portfolio risk; the integration of HYFT within the Company’s broader data management and biological reasoning platform; the scope, timing, and outcome of potential future validation activities; and the Company’s ability to pursue, structure, or complete strategic investments, collaborations, commercial arrangements, partnering transactions, or licensing opportunities related to HYFT-based technologies or programs.

Article content
Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions, and projections about future events and Company performance. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied. These factors include, among others: the preliminary and exploratory nature of computational analyses and in silico observations; limitations in available data, inputs, or analytical assumptions; the risk that subsequent laboratory, experimental, or validation studies do not replicate or support the reported observations; uncertainty regarding the biological relevance, robustness, or generalizability of identified functional patterns; risks inherent in therapeutic research and development, including challenges related to translation, validation, manufacturability, safety, immunogenicity, breadth, durability, or efficacy; the risk that future development decisions are delayed, modified, or discontinued; regulatory requirements and uncertainties; dependence on third-party collaborators, laboratories, service providers, and data sources; intellectual property risks, including the ability to obtain, maintain, defend, and enforce patent and other proprietary rights; competitive developments; the availability, timing, and terms of strategic investments or other financing alternatives; the ability to enter into, maintain, or enforce collaborations, partnering arrangements, or commercial agreements on acceptable terms; and broader economic, market, geopolitical, or regulatory conditions.
Article content
Additional information about these and other risks and uncertainties is set out in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, as amended, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2025, available on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and EDGAR profile at www.sec.gov/edgar.
