Agree Sax, we kind of expected this, I’m hoping the speed of this private placing and bearing in mind it will be to existing holders, they won’t want a large discount, as with the previous broader placing and it’s not for anyone to take place. See below.
Hoping £1.50 minimum and they get snapped up quickly. At the end of the day, unless they are buying them to flip, we have our P2 readout secured and post P2 meeting. I think we can rise soon after here and if I can buy anymore tomorrow I will be doing so, hopefully at a small discount to current price.
Should find out in next hours, or in the morning at the latest, the price realised for the placing.
Onwards and upwards.
Good luck all.
The Placing, in the form of accelerated book-building, reduces both execution and completion risk as it enables an equity raise efficiently and in a timely manner, typically with a lower discount to the current trading price, less exposure to market volatility, at a lower cost and with significantly reduced completion risk compared to a share issue enabling broader shareholder and investor participation. In the Placing, the Company is primarily targeting long-term institutional and other qualified investors due to their capability of offering substantial investments cost-effectively, at attractive terms. In particular, the rapidness of the Placing is considered as a significant advantage as it would provide the Company with funding prior to the forthcoming topline readout of Phase II BEXMAB trial and, consequently, continued operations and flexibility in pursuing the best commercial outcome in the partnering discussions. As indicated by the Company in the summer 2024, a rights issue or a broader share issue, the latter as organised by the Company in June 2024 enabling wider shareholder participation would be significantly more time-consuming and require resources from the Company which the Company does not currently have. The private placement structure is known to the market from previous funding actions of the Company. Based on an overall assessment, the Board considers the Placing to be the most favourable alternative for the Company to raise capital.
