Sensyne Health PLC, down 71% at 2.90p, 12-month range 1.00p-178.00p. The clinical artificial intelligence company warns that without further financing it will not be able to continue beyond this month. Sensyne explains it has entered a non-binding term sheet with noteholders to amend the original note purchase agreement to provide an additional GBP15 million in financing. "Shareholders' attention is specifically drawn to the proposed term to cancel the company's shares from trading on AIM and the highly dilutive impact of granting conversion rights to the noteholders and the proposed change in exercise price of the warrants associated with the loan notes," it says. Chief Executive & Founder Paul Drayson steps down from the board with immediate effect. He will be replaced by Alex Snow, former CEO of Landsdowne Partners UK LLP, who has "extensive experience" in finance and the commercialisation of science.
