London, UK, 20 April 2011 - Lombard Medical Technologies PLC (AIM: LMT), the specialist medical devices company, today announced that it proposes to raise up to £25.3 million (before expenses) through a placing and subscription arranged on the Company's behalf by Evolution Securities Limited and Eden Financial Limited. As part of the subscription, Abingworth LLP and MVM Life Science Partners LLP, both specialist healthcare investors, have committed to invest, in aggregate, up to £13.0 million. The placing and subscription will be issued and admitted to trading in two tranches. In addition, qualifying shareholders and qualifying employees are being invited to participate in the fundraising pursuant to an offer that may raise up to an additional £2.2 million (before expenses).
The Company will raise up to £13.3 million (before expenses) through the first tranche of the fundraising. The Company will raise a further £14.2million (before expenses) through the second tranche of the fundraising subject to certain milestones and conditions being achieved (or waived by certain of the investors). The Directors believe the net proceeds of the first fundraising and the second fundraising will, assuming that these are received in full, give the Company sufficient cash to fund it through to cash flow break even.
