Clinigen Group plc
Result of Placing
Further to the announcement earlier today in relation to the proposed placing of ordinary shares, Clinigen Group plc ("Clinigen" or the "Company") announces that it has successfully placed 9,467,456 ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") with institutional investors ("Placees") at a price of 845p per share (the "Placing Price") via an accelerated bookbuild (the "Placing"). Numis Securities Limited ("Numis") and RBC Europe Limited ("RBC") acted as joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing.
The Placing has raised gross proceeds of £80 million. The Placing Shares being issued represent, in aggregate, approximately 7.7 per cent of Clinigen's issued ordinary share capital prior to the Placing.
As part of the Placing, Shaun Chilton (CEO) and Anne Hyland (Independent Non-Executive Director) have agreed to subscribe for 7,101 and 4,142 Placing Shares respectively at the Placing Price.
The Placing Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu with the existing ordinary shares in the capital of the Company including the right to receive all future dividends and distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.
Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 1 October 2018 and that dealings in the Placing Shares will commence at that time.
Upon Admission, Clinigen's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 131,949,754 Ordinary Shares, with voting rights. Clinigen does not hold any shares in treasury. This figure of 131,949,754 Ordinary Shares may be used by shareholders in Clinigen following Admission as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of Clinigen under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
