ExonHit Therapeutics (Paris:ALEHT) (Alternext: ALEHT) today announced that it has obtained the "Innovative Company" accreditation from OSEO (the French state innovation agency), in recognition of the company's cutting-edge innovations in its target sectors. The accreditation means that French innovation-focused mutual funds (FCPI) can now make tax-efficient equity investments in ExonHit Therapeutics for renewable 3-year periods.

"We are delighted to have received this OSEO accreditation, which emphasizes our particularly innovative strategy in genomic profiling that we apply both in therapeutics and in diagnostics.
