Gelion plc (AIM: GELN), the global energy storage innovator, is pleased to announce that, further to its announcement published earlier today in respect of the Fundraising and due to additional demand in the accelerated bookbuild process, which has now closed, the Company has increased the size of the Placing, in line with its Terms and Conditions. Accordingly, the Company has raised an aggregate of approximately £2.0 million (before expenses) by way of the issue of 22,551,753 New Shares, pursuant to the Placing and Subscription.
The Placing raised gross proceeds of £0.88 million through the issue of 9,773,982 Placing Shares and the Subscription raised gross proceeds of £1.15 million through the issue of 12,777,771 Subscription Shares.
As part of the Fundraising, the Company also announced details of a Retail Offer to be made to existing Shareholders in the UK to raise up to an additional maximum of £191,389.86 through the issue of up to 2,126,554 Retail Offer Shares, at the Issue Price. The Retail Offer is being conducted via the Bookbuild Platform. The Retail Offer is expected to close at 5.00 p.m. (BST) on 22 April 2025, and the results of the Retail Offer will be announced separately thereafter.
