Investee Company Update: Avextra AG Raises ?3.3 million

 

 SEED's shares in Avextra now have an implied valuation of ?1,650 per share; a 167% increase Euro value over cost price

 

SEED Innovations Ltd, the AIM-quoted company investing in fast-growing and industry-leading businesses with a focus on the medical cannabis, health, and wellness space,?is pleased to announce a successful fundraise of ?3.3 million by its portfolio company, Avextra AG ('Avextra'), a German-based, European vertically integrated medical cannabis company. This capital raise gives SEED an implied valuation (subject to reassessment at the next Balance Sheet date) on its Avextra investment of ?1,650 per share; a 167% increase in Euro value over cost price. SEED did not participate in this fundraise.

 

SEED currently holds 2,242 shares in Avextra representing approximately 2.9% per cent of Avextra.

 

Highlights

 

· Avextra recently raised from existing and new investors ?3.3 million cash at a price of approx. ?1,650 per share. This implies a post-money valuation of Avextra of approx. ?127 million.

· In addition, c.?19.1 million of funds previously raised through CLNs, along with their accrued interest, were converted into equity at a discounted price of approx. ?1,320 per share.

· SEED purchased Ordinary shares in Avextra at ?604 per share in January 2021 and Preferred shares at ?980 per share in March 2022. The blended cost per share was c.?617 per share, with a total cost of the shares currently held of ?1.42 million, equivalent to approximately £1.21 million (based on the FX rates at the times of the purchases).

· Following this transaction, SEED's currently held shares in Avextra have an inferred value of ?1,650 per share, being a 167% increase in Euro value over the cost price.

· This raise increases the implied value of SEED's holding in Avextra by approximately £1.2 million to ?3.7 million (circa £3.15 million), compared to the previous carrying value of £1.94 million as reported in SEED's Interim Financials (RNS 22 November 2023).

 

Ed McDermott, CEO of SEED, commented: "SEED is pleased to follow the success of Avextra as it continues to attract investment at higher valuations. With this recent fundraise having been done at a significantly higher valuation to our original investment, the increased value of our existing holding in Avextra more than offsets the negative effects surrounding other investments that we've reported over recent months. I would like to take the opportunity to wish Avextra every success in their continued development of their business."
