Versarien said it has entered into a period of exclusivity with the potential acquirer until the end of November.

"The company's actions to conserve cash continue and the board now anticipates that the company can continue to operate, with the support of its creditors, at least until the proposed transaction is completed, which is expected by the end of November 2025," said Versarien

"In the absence of successfully concluding the transaction in as short a timeframe as possible, the board may have no alternative but to seek to appoint administrators to Versarien PLC," it added.
