REGENERSIS PLC

 

£6.9 MILLION FUNDRAISING

 

Regenersis Plc (AIM: RGS.L) ("Regenersis", the "Company" or the "Group"), a strategic outsourcing partner to many of the world's leading consumer technology companies, is pleased to announce that it has conditionally raised £6.9 million (before expenses) through a placing (the "Placing") of 3,300,000 new ordinary shares of 2 pence each (the "New Ordinary Shares") at a price of 209 pence per share. The Placing also includes a placing of an additional 893,070 existing ordinary shares (the "Sale Shares") on behalf of a number of selling shareholders (the New Ordinary Shares and the Sale Shares together, the "Placing Shares"). The Placing has been undertaken with new and existing institutional shareholders by Arden Partners plc ("Arden Partners") and Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited ("Panmure Gordon").

 

The New Ordinary Shares have been placed conditionally using existing shareholder permissions. The New Ordinary Shares will represent 6.6 per cent. of the issued share capital of Regenersis, as enlarged by the Placing, and the placing price of 209 pence per Placing Share represents a 0.48 per cent. discount to the mid-market price at close of business on Friday 22 March 2013, the day before marketing commenced for the Placing.

 

The Board's strategy is to develop the business through a combination of organic growth and complementary acquisitions. This strategy has produced double-digit revenue and profit growth in H1 2013, against H1 2012. The Group is operating a successful M&A programme, as evidenced by the acquisition of the HDM group of companies on 31 August 2012 and the Board has identified and is actively pursuing a number of acquisition opportunities with a view to completing some or all of them as soon as possible, although there can be no guarantee that it will complete any of them.

 

The net proceeds of the Placing receivable by the Company will initially be used to supplement organic growth by investing in the working capital requirements of the Company. As the Company successfully completes any acquisitions, the net proceeds of the Placing will be used to fund, in part or in full, the consideration payable for these acquisitions. Further, the Placing will provide some additional liquidity in the Ordinary Shares.

 

Matthew Peacock,Regenersis Executive Chairman, said:

 

"The Board is very pleased with the high level of support being shown for its strategy by both new and existing institutional shareholders. The successful acquisition of HDM last year demonstrates our ability to identify, complete and integrate acquisitions effectively. This, together with the many new opportunities being presented to the Group, ensures that Regenersis is well placed to maximise shareholder returns in the future."

Details of the Placing

 

The Company has raised £6.9 million (before expenses) by way of a non-pre-emptive placing of 3,300,000 new ordinary sharesof 2 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 209 pence per Placing Share.

 

The Placing is conditional upon, amongst other things, admission of the New Ordinary Shares to trading on AIM becoming effective ("Admission") and the Placing Agreement between the Company and Arden Partners and Panmure Gordon becoming unconditional and not being terminated, in accordance with its terms.

 

The New Ordinary Shares will represent approximately 6.6 per cent. of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company immediately after Admission and will, when issued, rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid following their date of issue and otherwise will rank pari passu in all respects with the other Ordinary Shares then in issue.

 

Following Admission, the Company's total issued share capital will consist of 49,715,386 Ordinary Shares. No Ordinary Shares are held in treasury and therefore the number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights will be 49,715,386. This figure should be used by shareholders of the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company's share capital under the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the Financial services Authority (or its successor body).

 

Application is being made for the New Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, and it is expected that Admission will become effective and trading in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM at 8:00 a.m. on 5 April 2013.
