("Redx" or the "Company")

Proposed Placing and Subscription to raise £12 million

and

Open Offer for Subscription to raise up to £2.9 million

Redx Pharma plc (AIM: REDX) the drug discovery and development company, is pleased to announce that it is proposing to raise £12 million, before expenses, by way of a Placing of up to 20.5 million Placing Shares and a Subscription of 11,500,000 Subscription Shares by Lanstead Capital L.P., an institutional investor, together with a related sharing agreement, both at a price of 37.5 pence per share. The net proceeds of the Placing and Subscription (expected to be approximately £0.85 million) will allow the Group, inter alia, to continue to progress its pipeline. 

The Placing will be conducted by way of an accelerated bookbuild process which will be launched immediately following this announcement, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Appendix to this announcement. Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners are acting as joint bookrunners in connection with the Placing. A Placing Agreement has been entered into today between the Company, Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners in connection with the Placing. 

The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 9.6 per cent. to the price of 41.5 pence per Existing Ordinary Share, being the Closing Price on the business day prior to the announcement of the Transaction.

The final number of Placing Shares will be agreed by Cantor Fitzgerald, WG Partners and Redx at the close of the bookbuild, and the result of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable thereafter. The timing for the close of the bookbuild and allocation of the Placing Shares shall be at the discretion of Cantor Fitzgerald, in consultation with the Company. The Placing is not underwritten.

Pursuant to a Subscription Agreement with the Company, Lanstead has conditionally agreed to subscribe for 11,500,000 Subscription Shares at 37.5 pence representing gross proceeds of £4,312,500. £646,875 of the Subscription proceeds (being 15 per cent. of the gross proceeds of the Subscription) will be retained by the Company and £3,665,625 (being 85 per cent. of the gross proceeds of the Subscription) will be pledged to Lanstead under a Sharing Agreement pursuant to which Lanstead will make monthly settlements (subject to adjustment upwards or downwards, as measured against a Benchmark Price of 50 pence per Ordinary Share) to the Company over 18 months, as more particularly detailed in the Circular. As a result of entering into the Sharing Agreement the aggregate amount received by the Company under the Subscription and the related Sharing Agreement may be more or less than £4,312,500, as further explained in the Circular.

In addition, the Company has also agreed to issue to Lanstead 575,000 Value Payment Shares pursuant to the Sharing Agreement at Second Admission.

In addition, in order to provide Shareholders who do not take part in the Placing and Subscription with an opportunity to participate in the proposed issue of New Shares, the Company is providing all Qualifying Shareholders with the opportunity to subscribe for Open Offer Shares, to raise up to a further £2.93 million (before expenses), on the basis of 1 Open Offer Share for every 12 Existing Ordinary Shares held on the Record Date, at 37.5 pence per share. Shareholders subscribing for their full entitlement under the Open Offer may also request additional Open Offer Shares through the Excess Application Facility.

The Firm Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing will be issued on a non-pre-emptive basis, utilising the existing Shareholder authorities put in place at the Company's general meeting on 13 April 2016. Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Firm Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("First Admission"). It is expected that First Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Firm Placing Shares, will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 15 February 2017.

The issue of the Conditional Placing Shares, the Subscription Shares, the Value Payment Shares and the Open Offer Shares are conditional, inter alia, on the passing by Shareholders of certain resolutions at a General Meeting of the Company, which is being convened for 10.00 a.m. on 27 February 2017. Application will also be made to the London Stock Exchange for the Conditional Placing Shares, the Subscription Shares, the Value Payment Shares and the Open Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Second Admission"). It is expected that Second Admission will become effective and that dealings in the Conditional Placing Shares, the Subscription Shares, the Value Payment Shares and the Open Offer Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 28 February 2017 (being the business day following the General Meeting).

If, following the issue of the Firm Placing Shares, the conditions relating to the issue of the Conditional Placing Shares are not satisfied, or the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Conditional Placing Shares will not be issued and the Company will not receive the related placing monies. In this situation, the Company will not have sufficient working capital for the next 12 months and would have to seek additional funding.

Background to and reasons for the Transaction

Redx is a drug discovery and development company, formed in 2010, which was successfully admitted to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange in March 2015, simultaneously raising £15 million (before expenses). The Company is run by a commercially and scientifically experienced management team with a track record of success.

Since the IPO in 2015, Redx has made significant progress with its existing research programs. The Company is focused on creating proprietary, best-in-class or first-in-class small-molecule drugs in areas of significant unmet medical need, primarily in cancer and immunology. This pipeline strategy has been validated by the progression of its first two high-value clinical candidates: the Bruton's tyrosine kinase reversible inhibitor RXC005 and the Porcupine inhibitor RXC004, in lucrative therapeutic areas with substantial commercial potential and medical need. In addition, multiple partnerships have been formed, such as those with AstraZeneca, a global pharmaceutical company, and the NHS.

The Company's strategy is to maximise shareholder value by advancing select programs into clinical development and delivering meaningful patient data. This ensures the Company will retain economic interest in high value products. Redx's philosophy is to create high-value therapies whilst addressing the limitations of existing treatments.

On 24 March 2016, the Company raised a further £10 million (before expenses) by way of a placing of new Ordinary Shares with both new institutional investors and existing Shareholders. Since then Redx has made further significant progress in its R&D pipeline, highlights of which include:

· Pre-clinical proof-of-concept achieved with reversible Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor

· Development candidate, RXC005, selected for the reversible BTK program for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and other B-cell conditions

· Identification of a potential role for the Porcupine inhibitor RXC004 in cancer immunotherapy

Redx is now aggressively progressing these lead assets into clinic in 2017.

Future plans for RXC005

RXC005 is targeted to enter clinical development in late 2017. It has the potential to be the best-in-class treatment for CLL and other B-cell conditions. In addition to oncology, RXC005 has potential applications in autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and Sjögren's syndrome.

Future plans for RXC004

RXC004 offers the potential to be a first-in-class drug for several difficult-to-treat cancers, including gastric, biliary and pancreatic. In addition, the potential for a combination with PD-1 inhibitors that will improve their effectiveness represents a substantial commercial opportunity.

Initially Redx will be assessing safety in patients with solid tumours. Data from these studies is anticipated during 2017. In 2018, data should become available from expansion arms studying RXC004 in patients with biliary, gastric and pancreatic cancers. There will also be the potential, to examine the effect of RXC004 as an immuno-oncology combination therapy.

Summary of Redx's pipeline

Redx's pipeline is at the forefront of next generation therapies of unmet medical need. In addition to the two lead compounds RXC004 and RXC005 Redx has several earlier stage pre-clinical small molecules aimed for oncology and immunology indications.

Use of Proceeds

Redx intends to use the proceeds from the Placing plus the initial £0.65 million received pursuant to the Subscription to progress Porcupine (RXC004) through clinical trials to achieve patient safety data, undertake pre-clinical studies on BTK (RXC005) with a view to making it clinic ready as for general working capital purposes for the Group.

In addition, any further monies received under the Subscription and Open Offer will be used to further support the Company's oncology and immunology pipelines as well as general working capital purposes.

As Redx moves its lead programs into clinical development, the Company will continue to balance its resources to ensure that projects are progressed in the most efficient way. As a result, in line with this maturing of the pipeline, an increasing proportion of costs will be allocated to external spend to support Redx's development-stage programs. However, Redx will continue to support its research activities to ensure that the front end of the Company's pipeline remains well-stocked. The Board and management will continue to assess options on an on-going basis to ensure that Redx extracts maximum value from its pipeline assets.

APPENDIX - TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLACING

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLACING

FOR INVITED PLACEES ONLY - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The information contained herein is restricted and is not for publication, release or distribution directly or indirectly in or into the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, the Republic of South Africa, or any other jurisdiction where to do so would be unlawful.

Each Placee should consult with its own advisers as to legal, regulatory, tax, business and related aspects of any subscription for Placing Shares.

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") do not constitute an offer or invitation to acquire, underwrite or dispose of, or any solicitation of any offer or invitation to acquire, underwrite or dispose of, any Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company to any person in any jurisdiction to whom it is unlawful to make such offer, invitation or solicitation in such jurisdiction. Persons who seek to participate in the Placing must inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions and must be persons who are able to lawfully receive this Announcement in their jurisdiction (all such persons being "Relevant Persons"). In particular, these Terms and Conditions do not constitute an offer or invitation (or a solicitation of any offer or invitation) to acquire, underwrite or dispose of or otherwise deal in any Ordinary Shares or other securities of the Company in the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan or the Republic of South Africa, subject to certain limited exemptions.

Members of the public are not eligible to take part in the Placing and each Placee agrees, undertakes and warrants that it is not acquiring Placing Shares on behalf of members of the public or its Retail clients (as that term is defined in the Rules of the FCA), save where the Placee does so on a fully discretionary basis and without reference to any such Retail clients. In the UK, the Placing and these Terms and Conditions are directed only at persons whose ordinary activities involve them acquiring, holding, managing or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses and who have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within the definition of 'investment professionals' in Article 19 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005, as amended (the "FPO") or are high net worth body corporates, unincorporated associations or partnerships or trustees of high value trusts as described in Article 49 of the FPO or to whom they may otherwise lawfully be communicated.

The Placing Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or under any other securities legislation of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States or registered or qualified under the applicable securities laws of any province of Canada or Australia, Japan or the Republic of South Africa. Accordingly, the Placing Shares may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, within the United States, any province of Canada or Australia, Japan or the Republic of South Africa or offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of persons located or resident in the United States or any province of Canada or Australia, Japan or the Republic of South Africa. Additionally, the Placing Shares have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any other securities commission or regulatory authority in the United States, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the proposed fundraising. The Placing Shares are being offered and sold outside the United States in offshore transactions exempt from the requirement to register the offers and sales under the Securities Act.

These Terms and Conditions apply to any person who offers to subscribe for Placing Shares in the Placing. Each person (a "Placee") to whom these Terms and Conditions apply, as described above, who confirms his agreement, whether by telephone or otherwise, with Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners to subscribe for Placing Shares in the Placing, hereby agrees with Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners to be legally and irrevocably bound by these Terms and Conditions which will be the Terms and Conditions on which the Placing Shares will be acquired in the Placing.

Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this Appendix are as defined in the Announcement relating to the Placing of which this Appendix forms part.

These Terms and Conditions must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not Relevant Persons. Any investment or investment activity to which these Terms and Conditions relate is available only to Relevant Persons and will be engaged in only with Relevant Persons. A Placee may not assign, transfer, or in any manner, deal with its rights and obligations under the agreement arising from the acceptance of the Placing, without the prior written agreement of Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners, in accordance with all relevant requirements.

All times and dates in this Appendix are references to times and dates in London (United Kingdom).

Terms of the Placing

Each Placee's commitment to subscribe for a fixed number of Placing Shares under the Placing will be agreed orally with Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners and such agreement will constitute a binding irrevocable commitment by a Placee, subject to the Terms and Conditions set out in this Appendix, to subscribe and pay for the relevant number of Placing Shares (the "Placing Participation") at the Placing Price. Such commitment is not capable of termination or rescission by the Placee in any circumstances except fraud. All such obligations are entered into by the Placee with Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners acting in their capacity as agent of the Company and are therefore directly enforceable by the Company.

After such agreement is entered into, each Placee allocated Placing Shares in the Placing will be sent a confirmatory email stating the number of Placing Shares allocated to it at the Placing Price, the total subscription amount payable to Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners and including settlement instructions (the "Confirmation Note").

Each Placee will be deemed to have read this Appendix in its entirety. Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners are acting for the Company and no one else in connection with the Placing and will not regard any other person (whether or not a recipient of these Terms and Conditions) as a client in relation to the Placing and to the fullest extent permitted by law and applicable FCA rules, neither Cantor Fitzgerald, WG Partners nor any of their affiliates will have any liability, obligation or duty to Placees or to any person other than the Company in respect of the Placing.

The Placing will comprise of up to 7,499,389 Firm Placing Shares and up to 24,500,611 Conditional Placing Shares. The Placing Shares will rank pari passu in all respects and form one class with the Existing Ordinary Shares of the Company in issue on Admission, including the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any. The Placing Shares will be issued free of any encumbrance, lien or other security interest.

Applications for Admission

Applications will be made to London Stock Exchange for Admission of the Placing Shares to trading on AIM.

It is anticipated that First Admission of the Firm Placing Shares to AIM will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 15 February 2017 and that dealings in the Firm Placing Shares will commence at that time and date for normal account settlement.

It is anticipated that Second Admission of the Conditional Placing Shares to AIM will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 28 February 2017 and that dealings in the Conditional Placing Shares will commence at that time and date for normal account settlement.

Placing Agreement

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners have agreed on behalf of and as agent of the Company, to use their reasonable endeavours to procure persons who will subscribe for the Placing Shares at the Placing Price, subject to these Terms and Conditions. The Placing is not underwritten.

To facilitate the application for EIS Relief in respect of 7,232,723 of the EIS Placing Shares, the Firm Placing Shares will be allotted on First Admission pursuant to an existing authority provided by the shareholders of the Company at a general meeting of the Company on 13 April 2016. The placing of the Firm Placing Shares and Placing Participations in respect of such shares is not conditional on the issue of the Conditional Placing Shares and Second Admission. Consequently if, following the issue of the Firm Placing Shares, the conditions relating to the issue of the Conditional Placing Shares are not satisfied, or the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Conditional Placing Shares will not be issued and the Company will not receive the related placing monies. In this situation, the Company will not have sufficient working capital for the next 12 months and would have to seek additional funding.

The Placing is conditional upon the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional in all respects and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms.

Cantor Fitzgerald's and WG Partners' obligations under the Placing Agreement in respect of the Firm Placing Shares are conditional on, inter alia:-

(c) the Company having received from Lanstead the duly executed Subscription Agreement; and

(d) First Admission having become effective at or before 8.00 a.m. on 15 February 2017,

or (in the case of any time or date provided above) such later time or date (being not later than 3.00 p.m. on 14 March 2017) as the Company, Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners may agree in writing.

Cantor Fitzgerald's and WG Partners' obligations under the Placing Agreement in respect of the Conditional Placing Shares are conditional on, inter alia:-

 (a) the Company having complied with its obligations under the Placing Agreement to the extent that such obligations are required prior to Second Admission;

(b) First Admission having become effective;

(c) the Company having complied with its obligations under the Subscription Agreement to the extent that such obligations are required to be performed prior to Second Admission and the Subscription Agreement having been completed in accordance with its terms;

(d) the due passing at the General Meeting of the Resolutions without amendment, and such Resolutions remaining in force;

(e) a warranty certificate having been duly executed and dated with the date immediately prior to the date of Second Admission and having been delivered to Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners, or their lawyers on their behalf, on that date; and

(e) Second Admission having become effective at or before 8.00 a.m. on 28 February 2017,

or (in the case of any time or date provided above) such later time or date (being not later than 3.00 p.m. on 14 March 2017) as the Company, Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners may agree in writing.

The Placing Agreement contains, inter alia, certain warranties and indemnities from the Company for the benefit of Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners.

Right to terminate under the Placing Agreement

Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners may, in their absolute discretion, terminate the Placing Agreement if before First/Second Admission (as applicable): (i) any statement contained in the Issue Documents (as defined in the Placing Agreement) has, in the good faith opinion of either Cantor Fitzgerald or WG Partners been discovered to be materially untrue, incorrect or misleading; (ii) there has, in the good faith opinion of either Cantor Fitzgerald or WG Partners, been a material breach of any of the warranties given by the Company to Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners in the Placing Agreement in a respect which Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners considers to be material in the context of the Placing; (iii) in the good faith opinion of either Cantor Fitzgerald or WG Partners, an event occurs or a matter arises which if it had occurred or arisen before such date would have rendered any of the warranties untrue, incorrect or misleading which is material in the context of the Transaction; (iv) in the good faith opinion of either Cantor Fitzgerald or WG Partners, there has been a breach of any provision of the Subscription Agreement by Lanstead which Cantor Fitzgerald or WG Partners considers to be material in the context of the Transaction; (v) any of the conditions in the Placing Agreement shall have become incapable of fulfilment before the latest time provided in the Placing Agreement and has not been waived; (vi) there is a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in London declared by the relevant authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United Kingdom; (vii) there is a change or development involving a prospective change in taxation adversely affecting any member of the Group or its prospects, or the Placing; (viii) there is any other occurrence of any kind which (by itself or together with any other such occurrence) in the good faith opinion of Cantor Fitzgerald or WG Partners is likely to materially and adversely affect the market's perception of the Company or the financial position or trading position or prospects of the Group taken as a whole; or (ix) there is any other crisis of international or national effect or any change in any currency exchange rates or controls or in any financial, political, economic or market conditions or in market sentiment or any other calamity or crisis which, in any case, in the good faith opinion of the Cantor Fitzgerald or WG Partners is materially adverse to the Placing. The exercise by Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners of any right of termination (or any right of waiver exercisable by Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners) contained in the Placing Agreement or the exercise of any discretion under the Terms and Conditions set out herein is within the absolute discretion of Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners and Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners will not have any liability to Placees whatsoever in connection with any decision to exercise or not exercise any such rights.

By accepting the Placing Shares referred to in the Announcement to which this Appendix is annexed, each Placee agrees that, without having any liability to such Placee, Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners may, in their absolute discretion, exercise the right, (i) to extend the time for fulfilment of any of the conditions in the Placing Agreement (provided that Placees' commitments are not extended beyond 14 March 2017); (ii) to waive, in whole or in part, fulfilment of certain of the conditions; or (iii) to terminate the Placing Agreement, in each case without consulting Placees (or any of them).

If (i) any of the conditions in the Placing Agreement are not satisfied (or, where relevant, waived); or (ii) the Placing Agreement is terminated; or (iii) the Placing Agreement does not otherwise become unconditional in all respects, the Placing will not proceed and all funds delivered by Placees to Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners or the Company pursuant to the Placing and this Appendix will be returned to Placees at their risk without interest, and Placees' rights and obligations under the Placing shall cease and determine at such time and no claim shall be made by Placees in respect thereof.

Registration and Settlement

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB00BSNB6S51) following the relevant Admission will take place within CREST (subject to certain exceptions). If a Placee wishes to receive its Placing Shares in certificated form, it should contact Kellyann Leeds at Cantor Fitzgerald (+44 (0)20 7894 7913) as soon as possible after receipt of its Confirmation Note. Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners reserve the right to require settlement for, and delivery of, the Placing Shares (or a portion thereof) to Placees by such other means that it deems necessary if delivery or settlement is not possible or practicable within CREST within the timetable set out in this Announcement or would not be consistent with the regulatory requirements in any Placee's jurisdiction.

It is expected that settlement will be on 15 February 2017 in respect of First Admission and on 28 February 2017 in respect of Second Admission, in accordance with the instructions set out in the Confirmation Note.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above at the rate of 3 percentage points above The Royal Bank of Scotland plc's base rate, with interest compounded on a daily basis.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on such Placee's behalf and retain from the proceeds, for Cantor Fitzgerald's and WG Partners' account and benefit (as agent for the Company), an amount equal to the aggregate amount owed by the Placee plus any interest due. The relevant Placee will, however, remain liable for any shortfall below the aggregate amount owed by it and may be required to bear any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax (together with any interest or penalties) which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on such Placee's behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, each Placee confers on Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out any such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which Cantor Fitzgerald and WG Partners lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees should ensure that the Confirmation Note is copied and delivered immediately to the relevant person within that organisation.

Insofar as Placing Shares are registered in a Placee's name or that of its nominee or in the name of any person for whom a Placee is contracting as agent or that of a nominee for such person, such Placing Shares should, subject as provided below, be so registered free from any liability to UK stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or securities transfer tax.

Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.
