The Board of VALIRX PLC (the "Company") is pleased to announce a retail offer via BookBuild (the "Retail Offer") of new ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") of ORDINARY GBP 0.001 each in the capital of the Company (the "Retail Offer Shares") at an issue price of GBX 6.00 per Retail Offer Share (the "Issue Price").
The Retail Offer is only available to existing shareholders of the Company.
In addition to the Retail Offer, the Company is also conducting a placing of new ordinary shares (the "Placing) and subscription of new ordinary shares (the "Subscription") at the Issue Price (the "Placing" and "Subscription" and together with the Retail Offer, the "Fundraising"). A separate announcement has been made regarding the Placing and the Subscription and their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the Retail Offer is not part of the Placing.
The Group has raised approximately £1.61 million (before expenses) through the Placing and intended Subscription and may raise (subject to take up) up to an additional £0.25 million (before expenses) under the Retail Offer. The proceeds of the Fundraising, of up to approximately £1.86 million (before expenses), are intended to be used by the Group for the following:
- £0.6 million for the exploitation and integration of BioBank materials from the Imagen assets acquisition;
- £0.2 million for the commercial development and brand establishment within Inaphaea;
- £0.2 million for R&D of new evaluation projects (estimated 3-4 projects)
- £0.2 million for R&D of ongoing evaluation projects (StingRay, KRAS and VAL301)
- £0.4 million for R&D of the ongoing and intended SPV (Cytolytix)
The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 23 per cent to the closing share price of 7.8 pence per existing Ordinary Share on 12 December 2023.
The Retail Offer is conditional on the Retail Offer Shares to be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer being admitted to trading on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange ("Admission"). Admission of the Retail Offer Shares pursuant to the Retail Offer is expected to take place on 8 January 2024. Completion of the Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the completion of the Placing.
