£0.5 million Equity Fundraising

Scientific Digital Imaging plc (AIM: SDI, "SDI" or the "Company"), the AIM quoted group focused on the application of digital imaging technology for use in life sciences, healthcare, astronomy, and art conservation, is pleased to announce an equity fundraising of approximately £0.5 million (before expenses). The Company has conditionally placed 4,510,000 new ordinary shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 10 pence per Ordinary Share with certain institutional and other investors and, in addition, Ken Ford, Chairman of the Company, intends to subscribe for 625,000 Ordinary Shares (also at a price of 10 pence per Ordinary Share) later today (together the "Placing Shares") (the "Equity Fundraising"). The Equity Fundraising is conditional, inter alia, on shareholder approval of certain resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting referred to below ("Resolutions").

Upon completion of the Equity Fundraising, Ken Ford will be interested in an aggregate of 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 3.0 per cent. of the Company's issued share capital, as enlarged by the Equity Fundraising.

The proceeds of the Equity Fundraising will be used for general working capital purposes, together with the satisfaction of recent costs incurred in connection with the 2014 reorganisation of the Company's Synoptics division (which, now completed, is anticipated to deliver ongoing monthly cost savings) and certain fees incurred in relation to a proposed large acquisition where discussions were terminated during the first half of the current financial period.

Commenting on the Equity Fundraising, Chairman Ken Ford said, "I am delighted with the level of support that has been shown for SDI by the institutional investor community. The funds raised will enable the Company to continue with its planned strategy and the Board is optimistic about SDI's future prospects."
