REDX PHARMA PLC

("Redx" or the "Company")

Launch of Placing to raise c.£30 million via Accelerated Bookbuild

Alderley Park, 18 May 2022 Redx (AIM: REDX), the clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing novel, small molecule, highly targeted therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and fibrotic disease, today announces that it is proposing to raise c.£30 million, before expenses, by way of a placing to institutional investors (the "Placing") of new ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares"), at a price of 59 pence per Placing Share (the "Issue Price"). The net proceeds of the Placing will allow the Company to continue to progress its pipeline, as detailed below.

The Placing Shares are being offered by way of an accelerated bookbuild process (the "Bookbuild") which will be launched immediately following the release of this Announcement. WG Partners LLP is acting as Global Coordinator and WG Partners LLP, Panmure Gordon (UK) Limited and Stifel Nicolaus Europe Limited are acting as joint bookrunners (together, the "Joint Bookrunners") in connection with the Placing.

A number of the Company's existing investors have indicated strong support for, and that they intend to participate in, the Placing.

Use of Proceeds

The Company is proposing to raise gross proceeds of c.£30 million through the Placing in order to fund the anticipated progression of its clinical development and research stage programmes to important value inflection points through 2023, thereby continuing the delivery of its stated strategy to drive shareholder value. Redx expects to use the net proceeds of the Placing, its existing cash resources and a risk-adjusted forecast of milestone income from partnered programmes due before the end of 2023 as follows:

· Report topline Phase 2 data from PORCUPINE and PORCUPINE2 clinical trials to establish human proof of concept of RXC004 as a monotherapy in patients with genetically selected microsatellite stable metastatic colorectal cancer (MSS mCRC), pancreatic cancer and unselected biliary cancer, as well as a combination therapy with an anti- PD-1 in MSS mCRC and biliary cancer;

· Report topline Phase 2a data from clinical trial with RXC007 to obtain early efficacy, safety, PK/PD in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). RXC007 is a highly selective Rho Associated Coiled-Coil Containing Protein Kinase 2 (ROCK2) inhibitor;

· Progress RXC008, a GI-targeted ROCK inhibitor, through preclinical development to IND submission for fibrostenotic Crohn's disease;

· Continue to advance the pipeline from the Redx discovery engine, leveraging Redx's core strength of medicinal chemistry expertise and proven ability to design molecules against validated targets to discover the next generation of differentiated drug candidates, with a goal of submitting three new wholly-owned INDs by 2025; and

· General and administrative working capital through 2023.

As the Company executes its business plan, the Board and management will continue to ensure that resources are allocated to allow progression of the project portfolio in the most efficient way and to assess options on an on-going basis to ensure that Redx extracts maximum value from its intellectual property. Following completion of the Placing, the Company estimates that it will have available cash of approximately £55.9 million.

The result of the Placing will be announced as soon as practicable after the close of the Bookbuild. The Placing is not being underwritten (in whole or in part) by the Joint Bookrunners or any other person.

About Redx Pharma plc

Redx Pharma (AIM: REDX) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel, small molecule, highly targeted therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and fibrotic diseases, aiming initially to progress them to clinical proof of concept before evaluating options for further development and potential value creation. Redx's lead oncology product candidate, the Porcupine inhibitor RXC004, commenced a Phase 2 programme in November 2021. The Company's selective ROCK2 inhibitor product candidate, RXC007, is in development for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and commenced a Phase 1 clinical trial in June 2021. Encouraging safety and pharmacokinetic data has been reported, and a Phase 2 clinical program is confirmed to start in 2022. Redx's third drug candidate, RXC008, a GI-targeted ROCK inhibitor for the treatment of fibrostenotic Crohn's disease, is currently in pre-IND stage, with Phase 1 clinical studies expected to commence in 2023. 

The Company has a strong track record of discovering new drug candidates through its core strengths in medicinal chemistry and translational science, enabling the Company to discover and develop differentiated therapeutics against biologically or clinically validated targets. The Company's accomplishments are evidenced not only by its two wholly-owned clinical-stage product candidates and rapidly expanding pipeline, but also by its strategic transactions, including the sale of pirtobrutinib (RXC005, LOXO-305), a BTK inhibitor now in Phase 3 clinical development by Eli Lilly following its acquisition of Loxo Oncology and RXC006, a Porcupine inhibitor targeting fibrotic diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), which AstraZeneca is progressing in a Phase 1 clinical study. In addition, Redx has forged collaborations with Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors (for the purposes of UK Product Governance Requirements) should note that: (a) the price of the Placing Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; (b) the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and (c) an investment in the Placing Shares compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

No Placee should consider any information in this Announcement to be legal, tax or business advice. Nothing in this paragraph shall exclude the liability of any person for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Details of the Placing Agreement and the Placing Shares

The Joint Bookrunners have today entered into the Placing Agreement with the Company under which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement, the Joint Bookrunners, as agents for and on behalf of the Company, have agreed to use their respective reasonable endeavours to procure Placees for the Placing Shares. The Placing is not being underwritten.

The Placing Shares will, when issued, be subject to the articles of association of the Company, will be credited as fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Ordinary Shares, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid in respect of such Existing Ordinary Shares after the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

Lock-up

As part of the Placing, the Company has agreed that it will not for a period of 90 days after (but including) Admission, directly or indirectly, allot, issue, offer, sell, contract to sell or issue, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise dispose of or create an encumbrance over, any Ordinary Shares (or any interest therein or in respect thereof) or other securities of the Company exchangeable for, convertible into or representing the right to receive Ordinary Shares or any substantially similar securities or otherwise enter into any transaction (including derivative transaction) directly or indirectly, permanently or temporarily, to dispose of any Ordinary Shares or undertake any other transaction with the same economic effect as any of the foregoing or announce an offering of Ordinary Shares or any interest therein, deposit any equity securities (or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities or which carry rights to subscribe or purchase equity securities) in any depositary receipt facility or to announce publicly any intention to enter into any transaction described above. This agreement is subject to certain customary exceptions and does not prevent the Placing Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to the Placing, the grant or exercise of options under any of the Company's existing share incentives and share option schemes (including to members or senior management and/or employees) or following Admission the issue by the Company of any Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of any right or option or the conversion of a security (including secured convertible loan notes) already in existence or the issue of equity securities in connection with a transaction or proposal that is referred to in the Circular.

Application for admission to trading

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

It is expected that Admission will take place at 8.00 a.m. on 7 June 2022 and that dealings in the Placing Shares on AIM will commence at the same time.

The Bookbuilding Process

The Joint Bookrunners will commence the Bookbuilding Process to determine demand for participation in the Placing by Placees immediately following the publication of this Announcement. This Appendix I gives details of the terms and conditions of, and the mechanics of participation in, the Placing. No commissions will be paid to Placees or by Placees in respect of any Placing Shares.

The Joint Bookrunners and the Company shall be entitled to effect the Placing by such alternative method to the Bookbuilding Process as they may, in their sole discretion, determine.

Principal terms of the Bookbuilding Process and Placing

1. The Joint Bookrunners are acting as joint bookrunners to the Placing, as agents for and on behalf of the Company.

2. Participation in the Placing will only be available to persons who may lawfully be, and are, invited by the Joint Bookrunners to participate. The Joint Bookrunners and any of their respective affiliates are entitled to enter bids in the Bookbuilding Process.

3. The price per Placing Share (the "Placing Price") is fixed at 59 pence and is payable to the Joint Bookrunners (as agents for the Company) by all Placees whose bids are successful. The number of Placing Shares will be agreed between the Joint Bookrunners and the Company following completion of the Bookbuilding Process. The number of Placing Shares will be announced by the Company (such announcement being the "Placing Results Announcement") following the entry into the Placing Agreement by the Company and the Joint Bookrunners and completion of the Bookbuilding Process.

4. To bid in the Bookbuilding Process, Placees should communicate their bid by telephone or email to their usual sales contact at either Joint Bookrunner. Each bid should state the number of Ordinary Shares which a Placee wishes to acquire at the Placing Price. Bids may be scaled down by the Joint Bookrunners on the basis referred to in paragraph 9 below. The Joint Bookrunners are arranging the Placing severally and not jointly or jointly and severally as agents of the Company.

5. The Bookbuilding Process is expected to close no later than 5.00 p.m. on 19 May 2022 but may be closed earlier or later subject to the agreement of the Joint Bookrunners and the Company. The Joint Bookrunners may, in agreement with the Company, accept bids that are received after the Bookbuilding Process has closed. The Company reserves the right (upon agreement of the Joint Bookrunners) to reduce or seek to increase the amount to be raised pursuant to the Placing, in its discretion.

6. The allocation of the Placing Shares amongst the Placees will be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Placing Agreement with each Placee's allocation confirmed to Placees either orally or by email by the Joint Bookrunners. The Joint Bookrunners may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at the discretion of the Company, in consultation with the Joint Bookrunners, and may scale down any bids for this purpose on the basis referred to in paragraph 9 below.   The allocation of Placing Shares to Placees located in the United States shall be conditional on the execution by each Placee of an Investor Representation Letter.

7. The Company will release the Placing Results Announcement following the close of the Bookbuilding Process detailing the aggregate number of the Placing Shares to be issued.

8. Each Placee's allocation and commitment will be evidenced by a contract note, electronic trade confirmation or other (oral or written) confirmation (including by email) issued to such Placee by the relevant Joint Bookrunner. The terms of this Appendix I will be deemed incorporated in that contract note, electronic trade confirmation or other (oral or written) confirmation.

9. Subject to paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 above, each Joint Bookrunner may choose to accept bids, either in whole or in part, on the basis of allocations determined at its discretion and may scale down any bids for this purpose on such basis as it may determine or be directed. The Joint Bookrunners may also, notwithstanding paragraphs 4, 5 and 6 above, subject to the prior consent of the Company:

(a) allocate Placing Shares after the time of any initial allocation to any person submitting a bid after that time; and

(b) allocate Placing Shares after the Bookbuilding Process has closed to any person submitting a bid after that time.

10. A bid in the Bookbuilding Process will be made on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Appendix I and will be legally binding on the Placee on behalf of which it is made and except with the relevant Joint Bookrunner's consent will not be capable of variation or revocation after the time at which it is submitted. Following the relevant Joint Bookrunner's oral or written confirmation of each Placee's allocation and commitment to acquire Placing Shares, each Placee will have an immediate, separate, irrevocable and binding obligation, owed to the relevant Joint Bookrunner (as agent for the Company), to pay to it (or as it may direct) in cleared funds an amount equal to the product of Placing Price and the number of Placing Shares such Placee has agreed to acquire and the Company has agreed to allot and issue to that Placee.

11. Except as required by law or regulation, no press release or other announcement will be made by the Joint Bookrunners or the Company using the name of any Placee (or its agent), in its capacity as Placee (or agent), other than with such Placee's prior written consent.

12. Irrespective of the time at which a Placee's allocation(s) pursuant to the Placing is/are confirmed, settlement for all Placing Shares to be acquired pursuant to the Placing will be required to be made at the same time, on the basis explained below under "Registration and Settlement".

13. All obligations under the Bookbuilding Process and Placing will be subject to fulfilment of the conditions referred to below under "Conditions of the Placing" and to the Placing not being terminated on the basis referred to below under "Termination of the Placing".

14. By participating in the Bookbuilding Process, each Placee will agree that its rights and obligations in respect of the Placing will terminate only in the circumstances described below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by the Placee.

15. To the fullest extent permissible by law and applicable FCA rules and regulations, neither:

(a) the Joint Bookrunners;

(b) any of their respective Representatives; nor

(c) to the extent not contained within (a) or (b), any person connected with the Joint Bookrunners as defined in the FSMA ((b) and (c) being together "affiliates" and individually an "affiliate" of the Joint Bookrunners),

shall have any liability (including to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) to Placees or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise. In particular, neither the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability (including, to the extent permissible by law, any fiduciary duties) in respect of the Joint Bookrunners' conduct of the Bookbuilding Process or of such alternative method of effecting the Placing as the Joint Bookrunners and the Company may agree.

Registration and Settlement

If Placees are allocated any Placing Shares in the Placing they will be sent a contract note, electronic trade confirmation or other (oral or written) confirmation which will confirm the number of Placing Shares allocated to them, the Placing Price and the aggregate amount owed by them to the relevant Joint Bookrunner.

Each Placee will be deemed to agree that it will do all things necessary to ensure that delivery and payment is completed as directed by the relevant Joint Bookrunner (or, in the case of WG Partners, WH Ireland Limited (the "Settlement Agent"), as settlement agent for WG Partners) in accordance with either the standing CREST or certificated settlement instructions which it has in place with the relevant Joint Bookrunner or Settlement Agent.

Settlement of transactions in the Placing Shares (ISIN: GB00BSNB6S51) following Admission will take place within the CREST system, subject to certain exceptions. Settlement through CREST is expected to occur on 7 June 2022 (the "Settlement Date") in accordance with the contract notes or electronic trade confirmations. Settlement will be on a delivery versus payment basis. However, in the event of any difficulties or delays in the admission of the Placing Shares to CREST or the use of CREST in relation to the Placing, the Company and the Joint Bookrunners may agree that the Placing Shares should be issued in certificated form. The Joint Bookrunners reserve the right to require settlement for the Placing Shares, and to deliver the Placing Shares to Placees, by such other means as they deem necessary if delivery or settlement to Placees is not practicable within the CREST system or would not be consistent with regulatory requirements in the jurisdiction in which a Placee is located.

Interest is chargeable daily on payments not received from Placees on the due date in accordance with the arrangements set out above, in respect of either CREST or certificated deliveries, at the rate of 2 percentage points above the prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank plc as determined by the Joint Bookrunners.

Each Placee is deemed to agree that, if it does not comply with these obligations, the Joint Bookrunners may sell any or all of the Placing Shares allocated to that Placee on their behalf and retain from the proceeds, for the relevant Joint Bookrunner's own account and benefit, 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 Placing Price and for any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax (together with any interest or penalties) imposed in any jurisdiction which may arise upon the sale of such Placing Shares on its behalf. By communicating a bid for Placing Shares, such Placee confers on the Joint Bookrunners all such authorities and powers necessary to carry out such sale and agrees to ratify and confirm all actions which the relevant Joint Bookrunner lawfully takes in pursuance of such sale.

If Placing Shares are to be delivered to a custodian or settlement agent, Placees must ensure that, upon receipt, the conditional contract note, electronic trade confirmation or other (oral or written) confirmation 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 United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If there are any circumstances in which any United Kingdom stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax or other similar taxes or duties (including any interest and penalties relating thereto) is payable in respect of the allocation, allotment, issue, sale, transfer or delivery of the Placing Shares (or, for the avoidance of doubt, if any stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax is payable in connection with any subsequent transfer or agreement to transfer Placing Shares), the Company shall not be responsible for payment thereof. Placees will not be entitled to receive any fee or commission in connection with the Placing.

Conditions of the Placing

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

The obligations of the Joint Bookrunners under the Placing Agreement are, and the Placing is, conditional upon, inter alia:

(a) the resolutions numbered 1 and 3 in the notice of the General Meeting having been duly passed (without amendment) at the General Meeting (or at any adjournment thereof);

(b) the Company complying, in all material respects, with its obligations under the Placing Agreement to the extent that they fall to be performed on or before Admission;

(c) the Company and the Joint Bookrunners agreeing the final number of Placing Shares and executing the Results Agreement no later than 5.00 p.m. on the business day immediately following date of this Announcement (or such later time and/or date as the Joint Bookrunners may agree with the Company);

(d) the Company having allotted, subject only to Admission, the Placing Shares in accordance with the Placing Agreement; and

(e) Admission having become effective at or before 8.00 a.m. on 7 June 2022 or such later time as the Joint Bookrunners may agree with the Company (but in any event not later than 8.00 a.m. on 21 June 2022),

(all conditions to the obligations of the Joint Bookrunners included in the Placing Agreement being together, the "Conditions").

If any of the Conditions are not fulfilled or, where permitted, waived by the Joint Bookrunners in accordance with the Placing Agreement within the stated time periods (or such later time and/or date as the Company and the Joint Bookrunners may agree), or the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Placing will lapse and the Placee's rights and obligations shall cease and terminate at such time and each Placee agrees that no claim can be made by or on behalf of the Placee (or any person on whose behalf the Placee is acting) in respect thereof.

By participating in the Bookbuilding Process, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations cease and terminate only in the circumstances described above and under "Termination of the Placing" below and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it.

The Joint Bookrunners may, in their absolute discretion and upon such terms as they think fit, waive fulfilment of all or any of the Conditions in whole or in part, or extend the time provided for fulfilment of one or more Conditions, save that certain Conditions including the condition relating to Admission referred to in paragraph (e) above may not be waived. Any such extension or waiver will not affect Placees' commitments as set out in this Appendix I.

The Joint Bookrunners may terminate the Placing Agreement in certain circumstances, details of which are set out below.

Neither the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective affiliates nor the Company shall have any liability to any Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) in respect of any decision any of them may make as to whether or not to waive or to extend the time and/or date for the satisfaction of any condition to the Placing nor for any decision any of them may make as to the satisfaction of any condition or in respect of the Placing generally and by participating in the Placing each Placee agrees that any such decision is within the absolute discretion of the Joint Bookrunners.

Termination of the Placing

Each Joint Bookrunner may, in its absolute discretion, by notice to the Company, terminate the Placing Agreement at any time up to Admission if, inter alia:

(a) there has, in the opinion of the relevant Joint Bookrunner (acting in good faith), been a breach of the warranties given to it;

(b) there has, in the opinion of the relevant Joint Bookrunner (acting in good faith), been a material adverse change;

(c) any statement contained in this Announcement, the Placing Results Announcement or any other document or announcement issued or published by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Placing is or has become or has been discovered to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or misleading in any material respect; or

(d) in the opinion of the relevant Joint Bookrunner (acting in good faith), there has been a force majeure event.

If one or more Joint Bookrunners (the "Withdrawing Joint Bookrunner(s)") but not all Joint Bookrunners serves notice to terminate the Placing Agreement, the other Joint Bookrunner(s) (the "Continuing Joint Bookrunner(s)") may, in its or their absolute discretion and without obligation, within 24 hours thereafter elect, by giving notice to Redx Pharma plc, to allow the Placing to proceed on the basis that the Continuing Joint Bookrunner(s) shall assume any and all obligations of the Withdrawing Joint Bookrunner(s) save as regards any breach of the terms of the Placing Agreement by the Withdrawing Joint Bookrunner(s) prior to the date of such termination which remain to be performed under the Placing Agreement. If all Continuing Joint Bookrunners fail to make that election to the Company within such 24 hour period then the Placing Agreement will terminate.

If the Placing Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the rights and obligations of each Placee in respect of the Placing as described in this Announcement shall cease and terminate at such time and no claim can be made by any Placee in respect thereof.

By participating in the Bookbuilding Process, each Placee agrees with the Company and the Joint Bookrunners that the exercise by the Company or the Joint Bookrunners of any right of termination or any other right or other discretion under the Placing Agreement shall be within the absolute discretion of the Company or the Joint Bookrunners or for agreement between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners (as the case may be) and that neither the Company nor the Joint Bookrunners need make any reference to such Placee and that none of the Company, the Joint Bookrunners nor any of their respective Representatives shall have any liability to such Placee (or to any other person whether acting on behalf of a Placee or otherwise) whatsoever in connection with any such exercise. Each Placee further agrees that they will have no rights against the Joint Bookrunners, the Company or any of their respective directors or employees under the Placing Agreement pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 (as amended).

By participating in the Placing, each Placee agrees that its rights and obligations terminate only in the circumstances described above and under the "Conditions of the Placing" section above and will not be capable of rescission or termination by it after the issue by the Joint Bookrunners of a contract note or electronic trade confirmation confirming each Placee's allocation and commitment in the Placing.

The rights and remedies of the Joint Bookrunners and the Company under these terms and conditions are in addition to any rights and remedies which would otherwise be available to each of them and the exercise or partial exercise of one will not prevent the exercise of others.

The agreement to allot and issue Placing Shares to Placees (or the persons for whom Placees are contracting as agent) free of stamp duty and stamp duty reserve tax in the United Kingdom relates only to their allotment and issue to Placees, or such persons as they nominate as their agents, direct by the Company. Such agreement assumes that the Placing Shares are not being acquired in connection with arrangements to issue depositary receipts or to transfer the Placing Shares into a clearance service. If there are any such arrangements, or the settlement related to any other dealings in the Placing Shares, stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax may be payable. In that event, the Placee agrees that it shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax and neither the Company nor the Joint Bookrunners shall be responsible for such stamp duty or stamp duty reserve tax. If this is the case, each Placee should seek its own advice and they should notify the Joint Bookrunners accordingly. In addition, Placees should note that they will be liable for any capital duty, stamp duty and all other stamp, issue, securities, transfer, registration, documentary or other duties or taxes (including any interest, fines or penalties relating thereto) payable outside the United Kingdom by them or any other person on the acquisition by them of any Placing Shares or the agreement by them to acquire any Placing Shares and each Placee, or the Placee's nominee, in respect of whom (or in respect of the person for whom it is participating in the Placing as an agent or nominee) the allocation, allotment, issue or delivery of Placing Shares has given rise to such non-United Kingdom stamp, registration, documentary, transfer or similar taxes or duties undertakes to pay such taxes and duties, including any interest and penalties (if applicable), forthwith and to indemnify on an after-tax basis and to hold harmless the Company and the Joint Bookrunners in the event that either the Company and/or the Joint Bookrunners have incurred any such liability to such taxes or duties.

APPENDIX II: EXTRACTS FROM THE CIRCULAR

Background to and Reasons for the Placing

Redx is a clinical-stage biotechnology company founded in 2010 and whose Ordinary Shares have traded on AIM since 2015. The Company is focused on discovering and developing novel, small molecule, highly targeted therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and fibrotic disease, including cancer-associated fibrosis, that address significant unmet medical needs. Redx's core strengths in medicinal chemistry and translational science enable the Company to discover and develop differentiated, novel compounds against biologically or clinically validated targets. Redx has made substantial progress in growing its wholly-owned clinical and preclinical stage pipeline over the last two years, with two clinical stage programmes in development.

Redx's lead oncology product, RXC004, is a highly potent, orally active Porcupine inhibitor being developed as a targeted therapy for Wnt-ligand driven cancer. Porcupine is a key enzyme in the Wnt signalling pathway, well established as a key driver of both tumour growth and immune evasion. RXC004 has completed the monotherapy module of a Phase 1 clinical study in patients with advanced malignancies, and is currently completing the combination therapy module of the Phase 1 clinical study in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor, nivolumab. In Phase 1, RXC004 as monotherapy demonstrated a differentiated level of activity in Wnt-ligand dependent tumours as compared to Wnt-ligand independent tumours. Redx is now evaluating RXC004 in two multi-arm Phase 2 clinical studies in patients with Wnt-ligand dependent solid tumours. The first study, PORCUPINE, which was initiated in November 2021, is evaluating RXC004 in genetically selected MSS mCRC in a monotherapy arm as well as a combination arm with nivolumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor. The second study, PORCUPINE2, which was initiated in January 2022, is evaluating RXC004 as a monotherapy in a genetically selected pancreatic cancer arm and both as a monotherapy and in combination with an anti-PD-1 in an unselected biliary cancer arm. Both studies are expected to report topline clinical data from the first half of 2023. All three of these cancer types have high unmet need with limited treatment options and poor 5-year survival rates of less than 3% for biliary and pancreatic cancer and 14% for MSS mCRC.

Redx's lead fibrosis product, RXC007, is a highly selective Rho Associated Coiled-Coil Containing Protein Kinase 2 (ROCK2) inhibitor being developed in fibrosis. ROCK2 is a biologically and clinically validated target that has been shown to sit at a nodal point in a cell signalling pathway thought to be central to fibrosis. As a selective ROCK2 inhibitor, RXC007 has the potential to treat several fibrotic diseases across various therapeutic areas such as pulmonary, metabolic, cardiovascular, neuromuscular, CNS, as well as cancer-associated fibrosis. RXC007 has demonstrated robust anti-fibrotic effects in a range of industry-standard in vivo preclinical models. RXC007 demonstrated encouraging safety data and pharmacokinetic properties in a Phase 1 clinical study in healthy volunteers, with IPF being targeted as the first indication for clinical development in a Phase 2a clinical study planned to initiate during 2022, with topline clinical data expected to be reported in the second half of 2023. IPF is a severe and life-threatening chronic lung condition, with limited treatment options, which is estimated to affect 170,000 patients globally. IPF has an addressable market opportunity estimated to be worth $3.6 billion by 2029. 

The Company has a very experienced management team led by Lisa Anson, a well-respected and experienced industry executive and former President of AstraZeneca in the UK and the ABPI.

Redx continues to execute on a clear and focused strategy aimed at driving shareholder value. Redx's ambition is to become a leading biotech company focused on the development of novel and differentiated targeted medicines in cancer and fibrotic diseases, including cancer-associated fibrosis. Redx's initial aim is to progress prioritised programmes to deliver clinical proof of concept, before evaluating options for further development and potential value creation. Redx's core strength of medicinal chemistry expertise and proven ability to design molecules against validated targets will continue to be leveraged to discover the next generation of novel and differentiated drug candidates. In order to maximise value and mitigate risk in certain circumstances, Redx has and may continue to seek opportunities to out-license assets or collaborate with pharmaceutical partners on programmes prior to clinical proof of concept. Since 2019, Redx has completed three notable partnership deals, two with Jazz Pharmaceuticals and one with AstraZeneca, with total potential milestone payments to Redx of approximately $1 billion (approximately £802.1 million), plus mid-single digit revenue royalties.

There has been significant delivery against this strategy with the following notable achievements:

RXC004 Accomplishments

· On 27 July 2021, based on the RXC004 Phase 1 study results, Redx selected 2 mg once daily as the dose of RXC004 for the planned Phase 2 monotherapy proof of concept clinical trials in genetically selected MSS mCRC and pancreatic cancer, and in unselected biliary cancer. Preliminary data from the study in patients with unselected advanced solid tumours, showed that RXC004 2mg once daily was safe, well-tolerated and provided target coverage at levels required to assess monotherapy efficacy in Phase 2 clinical trials in selected patients with Wnt-ligand driven cancers.

· On 20 September 2021, Redx presented the results of the Phase 1 trial with RXC004 monotherapy in patients with advanced malignancies at the ESMO Congress. These results have shown the drug to be well-tolerated at doses that provide the target coverage required to assess efficacy in the Phase 2 studies. Whilst the Phase 1 study was in genetically unselected cancers, the data suggested a differential level of activity between Wnt-ligand driven cancers and non Wnt-ligand driven cancers, in line with observations of other molecules in this class.

· Redx is currently conducting a Phase 1 safety and tolerability study with RXC004 in combination with nivolumab (OPDIVO® - Bristol Myers Squibb, an anti-PD-1 antibody). The results of this Phase 1 study will be used to define a dose of RXC004 to be used with an anti-PD-1 therapy in the Phase 2 combination arms of the PORCUPINE and PORCUPINE2 studies.

· Based on the Phase 1 results to date, Redx has initiated two Phase 2 clinical studies. In November 2021, Redx dosed the first patient in the first of two multi-armed Phase 2 clinical studies, PORCUPINE, evaluating RXC004 in patients with genetically selected MSS mCRC. In January 2022, Redx dosed the first patient in PORCUPINE2, the second multi-armed Phase 2 clinical study, which is evaluating RXC004 in patients with genetically selected pancreatic cancer and unselected biliary cancer. 

RXC007 Accomplishments

· On 3 June 2021, Redx announced the first subject had been dosed in a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers evaluating its lead fibrosis drug candidate, RXC007. The primary objective of this first-in-human study is to evaluate the safety profile of this orally bioavailable, small molecule.

· On 10 March 2022, Redx announced encouraging clinical data from the Phase 1 study showing excellent safety and pharmacokinetic profile in both the single ascending dose and multiple dose cohort. No adverse events were observed following single doses of 2-70mg, and no serious adverse events were observed in the multiple dose cohort, dosed at 50mg twice daily for 14 days. The study also showed that biologically relevant exposure was achieved at the higher doses and the half-life was potentially suitable for once-daily dosing.

Preclinical Accomplishments

· On 2 September 2021, Redx announced a milestone payment of $3 million (approximately £2.2 million as recorded by the Company at the time of receipt) as a result of the initiation of IND-enabling studies for JZP815 under the terms of the sale of Redx's pan-RAF inhibitor programme to Jazz Pharmaceuticals in 2019. Under the terms of the sale, Redx is entitled to up to $203 million (approximately £162.8 million) in development, regulatory and commercial milestone payments, plus tiered royalties. The associated collaboration, under which Redx performs research and preclinical development services with the goal of completing IND-enabling studies, continues to progress well.

· On 9 December 2021, Redx announced a milestone payment of $10 million (approximately £7.4 million as recorded by the Company at the time of receipt) related to the continued progress of the research collaboration entered into in 2020 with Jazz Pharmaceuticals to discover and develop two targeted cancer therapies. Redx is leading discovery and preclinical development activities on two cancer targets and could potentially receive up to a further $400 million (approximately £320.8 million) in milestone payments, plus tiered royalties. This research collaboration recognised Redx's expertise in oncology drug design and profiling following the sale of Redx's pan-RAF inhibitor programme to Jazz Pharmaceuticals in 2019.

· On 23 December 2021, Redx announced a milestone payment of $9 million (approximately £6.7 million as recorded by the Company at the time of receipt) from AstraZeneca related to the initiation of a Phase 1 study for AZD5055 (RXC006), a Porcupine inhibitor in development for fibrotic diseases, following the grant of an exclusive global license for the development and commercialisation of RXC006 in 2020. Prior to this, on 17 June 2021, Redx announced a milestone payment of $4 million (approximately £2.8 million as recorded by the Company at the time of receipt), triggered as a result of progress in the development of RXC006. Redx could potentially receive up to a further $360 million (approximately £288.8 million) in development and commercial milestones, plus tiered royalties. This licensing transaction underlines interest in the Porcupine mechanism and further validates the quality of molecules emerging from Redx's discovery team.

· On 27 January 2022, Redx announced a new Discoidin Domain Receptor (DDR) inhibitor programme targeting fibrosis and cancer-associated fibrosis that is entering lead optimisation. This programme was developed in-house by Redx's discovery team.

· On 30 March 2022, Redx announced the nomination of RXC008 as its next clinical development candidate. RXC008 is a Gastrointestinal (GI) targeted Rho-Associated Coiled-Coil Containing Protein Kinase (ROCK) inhibitor and is planned to be developed as a potential first-in-class treatment for fibrostenotic Crohn's disease.

In addition to the aforementioned accomplishments, the Company further strengthened its Executive Management Team, through the appointments of Jane Robertson as Chief Medical Officer on 1 March 2021, Peter Collum as Chief Financial Officer on 1 May 2021 and Claire Solk as General Counsel on 17 January 2022. Redx has continued to build its Board of Directors through the appointments of Dr Jane Griffiths as Chair on 1 December 2021 and Dr Rob Scott as an independent Non-Executive Director on 27 January 2022. Natalie Berner was appointed as a Non-Executive Director on 19 May 2021, nominated by and representing Redmile.

Whilst the Company has sufficient resources to fund its planned development programmes through 2022, Redx requires additional capital to fund its currently active and planned clinical development activity beyond 2022 and to further develop and advance its research and discovery assets towards the preclinical and clinical pipeline. The Board believes that the Placing is in the best interests of Shareholders in order to provide further cash resources to fund the Company's strategic plan and to provide flexibility when considering options upon data readouts in order to determine the optimal route for value creation for Shareholders.
