Eutillio Buccilli, Chief Executive Officer of Genetic Technologies, will be joined by international race car driver and BREVAGenplus spokesperson, Pippa Mann, to perform the honorary ringing of the bell.

"We are extremely pleased to be invited to the Nasdaq MarketSite for the ceremonial bell ringing at this exciting time for the Company as we ramp-up commercial activities for BREVAGenplus," commented Eutillio Buccilli, Chief Executive Officer of Genetic Technologies. "The event has additional meaning to us as it ceremoniously marks, in earnest, the beginning of our partnership with Pippa Mann, a next generation athlete who has demonstrated true conviction and commitment to promoting women's health and in particular, breast cancer awareness."
This past February, Genetic Technologies announced a partnership with Pippa Mann as part of a marketing program to raise the profile of BREVAGenplus. Mann is one of only nine female athletes to ever compete in the Indianapolis 500 and the only female driver to start in the race over the past three consecutive years.

In addition to Mann's participation in key BREVAGenplus oriented events, her messaging and images will also appear in the Company's promotional print, video and social media platforms. The 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 29, 2016 will serve as the first event under the partnership program.
The Indianapolis 500 is the largest single day sporting event in the world, in terms of on-site attendance, and offers significant promotional opportunities throughout the month of May leading up to race day on Sunday May 29th, Memorial Day weekend.
