Creo Medical Group plc
("Creo" or the "Company")
Retail Offer for up to £5.0 million
Creo Medical Group plc (AIM: CREO), a medical device company focused on the emerging field of surgical endoscopy for cancer and pre-cancer patients, is pleased to announce a retail offer via the BookBuild Platform to raise up to £5.0 million (the "Retail Offer") through the issue of new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares").
Under the Retail Offer, up to 20,833,333 new Ordinary Shares (the "Retail Offer Shares") will be made available at a price of 24 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price").
In addition to the Retail Offer, and as announced by the Company earlier today (the "Launch Announcement"), the Company is also proposing a placing of new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares") to raise a minimum of £12 million (before expenses) (the "Placing") at the Issue Price. The Launch Announcement sets out the terms of the Placing together with the reasons for the Placing and the use of proceeds. The proceeds of the Retail Offer will be utilised to provide further balance sheet strength for future growth as the Company continues to roll out its defined med-tech strategy.
The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 10.3 per cent to the closing share price of 26.75 pence per existing Ordinary Share on 27 September 2024.
The Retail Offer is conditional on the Placing Shares and the Retail Offer Shares being admitted to trading on the AIM market ("AIM") operated by London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). The issue of the Placing Shares and the Retail Offer Shares remains subject to the passing of certain resolutions ("Resolutions") at a general meeting of the Company to be held at 10.00 a.m. on 18 October 2024.
It is anticipated that Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Placing Shares and the Retail Offer Shares will commence on AIM, at 8.00 a.m. on 21 October 2024.
