Sensyne Health plc

("Sensyne Health" or the "Company")

Successful completion of £25 million Fundraise

Industrialisation and Scaling of the Sensyne Data Platform and Strategic Collaboration with Phesi, Inc.

Oxford, UK - 9 December 2020: Sensyne Health plc (LSE: SENS), the UK clinical AI company, is pleased to announce the successful completion of the placing (the "Placing"), which was oversubscribed, and subscription (the "Subscription") which were announced on 8 December 2020 raising aggregate gross proceeds of £25.0 million for the Company. The Company also announces further details of an open offer to be made to Qualifying Shareholders to raise up to an additional £2.5 million (the "Open Offer", and together with the Placing and the Subscription, the "Transaction").

The Transaction, which remains subject to the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting to be convened for 4 January 2021, will enable the Company to capitalise on an expanding number and range of commercial opportunities, deliver economies of scale and accelerate future revenue growth. This will be achieved through the growth and 'industrialisation' of the Company's data platform leading to significantly enhanced scale and speed of delivery of clinical AI insights for customers and the addition of an enhanced offering to pharmaceutical clients through the collaboration with Phesi Inc., a US-based specialist clinical trials data company.

A total of 27,373,337 new ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the capital of the Company (the "Placing Shares") have been conditionally placed by Peel Hunt LLP ("Peel Hunt") and Liberum Capital Limited ("Liberum", and together with Peel Hunt, the "Joint Bookrunners") with new and existing investors at a price of 90 pence per Placing Share (the "Placing Price") raising gross proceeds of £24.6 million for the Company.

Additionally, the directors of the Company (the "Directors") and certain senior managers of the Company have conditionally subscribed for a total of 404,440 new ordinary shares of 10 pence each in the capital of the Company (the "Subscription Shares" and, together with the Placing Shares, the "New Shares") at the Placing Price pursuant to the Subscription raising gross proceeds of £363,996 for the Company.

The New Shares represent 21.6 per cent. of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company prior to the Transaction. The Placing Price represents a discount of 35.7 per cent. to the closing price of 140 pence on 8 December 2020 and a discount of 17.3 per cent. to the 3 month volume weighted average price of 108.85p.

The proceeds from the Transaction will be applied to the following:

· industrialise and scale the Sensyne data analytics capability by increasing access to anonymised patients datasets to c.17.5 million and build SENSIGHT™, a pharmaceutical R&D platform to analyse data more rapidly and cost effectively to enhance revenue growth;

· enter into exclusive strategic collaboration with Phesi, including an equity investment in Phesi, to create an enhanced offering to pharmaceutical clients;

· further develop the Company's SENSE™ clinical algorithm engine to provide an expanded offering for global healthcare providers and payers, comprising a range of proprietary AI algorithms for clinical decision support and operational management in hospitals; and

· strengthen the Company's balance sheet for partnering discussions with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and general corporate purposes.

Lord (Paul) Drayson PhD, CEO of Sensyne Health, said:

"We are delighted by the successful completion of this fundraising, thank our shareholders for their strong support and welcome new shareholders to our register. This puts us in a very strong position to capitalise on Sensyne's position at the heart of the adoption of Big Data analytics and clinical AI in healthcare and life sciences. It will enable the expansion of the anonymised patient datasets to which the Company has access, which are central to our scale-up plans and international business development objectives. Our unique business model, which sees the UK NHS hold a significant equity stake in the Company, ensures it has a share in the Company's financial returns and benefits from the latest innovations in patient care and medical research. Our confidence in the business is underpinned by its strong performance through the COVID-19 pandemic, the significant interest shown by pharmaceutical partners, and a clear plan to launch our software products and SENSE algorithms in the US. The new strategic alliance with Phesi will enable us to offer the global pharmaceutical industry a compelling combination of expertise and data across real world and clinical data, at the forefront of innovation in clinical development. We look forward to working with Phesi as we develop our business in the United States."

The New Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will be issued subject to the Company's articles of association and will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares in the capital of the Company, including the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or in respect of such shares by reference to a record date falling after their issue.

Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will occur at 08.00 a.m. on 5 January 2021 (or such later date as the Company, Peel Hunt and Liberum may agree, being no later than 8.00 a.m. on 15 January 2021).

The Placing and the Subscription are conditional on, amongst other matters, the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting. It is expected that the Placing and the Subscription will complete on or around 8.00 a.m. on 5 January 2021, being the expected date of Admission and that dealings in the New Shares will commence at that time. The Placing and the Subscription are also conditional upon the placing agreement between the Company and the Joint Bookrunners (the "Placing Agreement") becoming unconditional and not being terminated in accordance with its terms.

General Meeting

The Circular containing a notice convening the General Meeting for 11.00 a.m. on 4 January 2021 will be posted to shareholders on or around 11 December 2020. In light of the social distancing measures imposed by the UK Government as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the General Meeting will be held virtually as a closed meeting with the minimum number of members legally required to be present. Members will not be permitted to attend in person and should therefore appoint the chairman of the General Meeting as their proxy. Further details will be set out in the Circular.

Director and senior management participation

The Directors and certain members of senior management have collectively invested £363,996 in the Subscription. The following Directors have agreed to subscribe for Subscription Shares in the Subscription.

Prof Lionel Tarassenko

As a Director is a related party of the Company pursuant to the AIM Rules, the participation by the Directors in the Subscription is a related party transaction for the purposes of AIM Rule 13. In lieu of any independent directors' recommendation in relation to the Directors' proposed participation in the Subscription, in order to provide a statement as to what is fair and reasonable, Peel Hunt, in its capacity as Nominated Adviser to the Company for the purposes of the AIM Rules, considers that the Directors' proposed participation in the Subscription is fair and reasonable insofar as the shareholders of the Company are concerned.

Open Offer to Qualifying Shareholders

In order to provide Shareholders who have not taken part in the Placing with an opportunity to participate in the Transaction on a pre-emptive basis, the Company intends to make an Open Offer to Qualifying Shareholders on the terms and conditions to be set out in the Circular. The Open Offer provides Qualifying Shareholders with the opportunity to subscribe at the Placing Price for an aggregate of up to 2,735,564 Open Offer Shares to raise up to approximately £2.5 million (before fees and expenses) for the Company, on the basis of:

1 Open Offer Share for every 47 Existing Ordinary Shares held as at the Record Date.

The Open Offer is conditional on the Placing becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects and not being terminated before Admission. Accordingly, if the conditions to the Placing (including the passing of the Resolutions) are not satisfied or waived (where capable of waiver), the Open Offer will not proceed.

Further details of the Open Offer and the terms and conditions on which it is being made, including the procedure for application and payment, will be contained in the Circular, which shall be posted to Shareholders and made available on the Company's website, www.sensynehealth.com, on or around 11 December 2020. A further announcement will confirm the posting date and availability of the Circular on the Company's website.

Capitalised terms in this announcement shall, unless the context demands otherwise, bear the meanings given to such terms in the announcement of the Transaction made via RNS on 8 December 2020.
