Windar Photonics plc (AIM: WPHO), a wind energy technology company specialising in LiDAR‑based wind measurement and turbine performance optimisation, is pleased to announce a second retail offer via the BookBuild Platform (the "Retail Offer") of new ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to raise gross proceeds of up to £300,000. Pursuant to the Retail Offer, up to 6,000,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "Retail Offer Shares") will be made available at a price of 5 pence per Retail Offer Share (the "Issue Price").
Following significant demand for the Company's recent over-subscribed retail offer, the result of which was announced on 27 August 2026 (“First Retail Offer”), the Board is proposing this follow-on Retail Offer. The First Retail Offer demonstrated the strength of support for the business from existing retail shareholders of the Company as well as a desire to minimise dilution arising from the previous Fundraising. This follow on Retail Offer has therefore been launched to allow more of the Company’s retail shareholders to subscribe for Ordinary Shares on fundamentally the same basis as investors who participated in the recently completed fundraise.
The Issue Price is 5 pence per Retail Offer Share and each Retail Offer Share carries an entitlement to one warrant for every Retail Offer Share subscribed. Each warrant (the "Retail Offer Warrants") entitles the holder to subscribe for one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of 10 pence per Ordinary Share and is exercisable for a period of three years from admission of the First Retail Offer Shares to trading on AIM (28 August 2026). The Retail Offer Warrants will not be admitted to trading on AIM.
The issue of the Retail Offer Shares and the granting of the Retail Offer Warrants are conditional upon the passing of certain resolutions to be put to shareholders of the Company at its annual general meeting to be held on 30 September 2026 (the "AGM").
The Retail Offer is conditional on the Retail Offer Shares being admitted to trading on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange. Admission of the Retail Offer Shares is expected to take place at 8.00 a.m. on or around 1 October 2026.
