Manchester, UK - 23 September 2025: genedrive plc (LSE: GDR), the point of care pharmacogenetic testing company, announces a retail offer via BookBuild (the "Retail Offer") of new ordinary shares of 0.015 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") in the capital of the Company (the "Retail Offer Shares") at an issue price of 0.20 pence per new Ordinary Share (as defined below) (the "Issue Price").
In addition to the Retail Offer, the Company is also conducting a placing of new ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares" and together with the Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") at the Issue Price (the "Placing" and together with the Retail Offer, the "Issue" or the "Fundraising").
A separate announcement has been made today with details of the Placing and its terms and conditions as well as setting out the background to the Fundraising and the use of proceeds (the "Launch Announcement"). The net proceeds of the Retail Offer will be utilised in the same way as the proceeds of the Placing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the Placing.
The Retail Offer is not part of the Placing. Completion of the Placing is not conditional on the completion of the Retail Offer. However, completion of the Retail Offer is conditional upon, inter alia,
the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer being admitted to trading on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc ("Admission"). Admission of the New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Retail Offer is expected to take place on 16 October 2025. Completion of the Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the completion of the Placing.
The Placing Shares and the Retail Offer Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares in issue.
Issue of Warrants
The Company has also agreed that subscribers in the Fundraising will receive one warrant for every one Ordinary Share subscribed for pursuant to the Fundraising, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one new Ordinary Share at a price of 0.40 pence at any time up to the second anniversary of the date of the Warrant Instrument, at which time they will lapse (the "Warrants"). Please see the Launch Announcement for more information on the Warrants.
