----------

EnSilica PLC - Oxfordshire, England-based semiconductor designer and supplier - Raises GBP1.1 million via placing at 50 pence per share. Says proceeds will provide additional working capital, alongside expected receipt of customer payments and R&D tax credits. Still plans to continue discussions for invoice financing facilities and potential debt funding of up to GBP1.0 million.

----------

Vaalco Energy Inc - Canada and Africa-focused hydrocarbon explorer - Notes media speculation. Confirms in talks with the owner of Svenska Petroleum Exploration AB regarding a possible debt-free corporate transaction to acquire Svenska.

Chair Ben Keswick says: "The group posted another very strong overall underlying profit performance in 2023, principally reflecting Astra's second year of record profit, despite softer commodity prices and moderating growth in the second half of the year. Our Vietnamese businesses, however, were adversely impacted by slower economic growth. The group's businesses remain focused on their strategic priorities to build a solid foundation for long-term growth".
