(NASDAQ:CDT) ("CDT" or the "Company"), today notes the announcement issued this morning by Sarborg Limited regarding the expansion of its proprietary AI Signature Agent platform beyond pharmaceuticals into bacteria and agrochemicals.

CDT holds a significant 20% equity stake in Sarborg and views this expansion as a meaningful strategic development in the continued evolution of Sarborg's cross-industry signature intelligence platform.

"As a 20% shareholder, we view this as a meaningful expansion of Sarborg's addressable markets and long-term growth profile.
