Broker Offer Results
Further to the announcement made at 7.00 a.m. on 13 January 2023 by the Company in connection with the Fundraising to raise up to £1.5 million (before expenses) (the "Fundraise Announcement"), ValiRx, a life science company focusing on early-stage cancer therapeutics and women's health, is pleased to announce that the conditional Broker Offer granted to Turner Pope Investments (TPI) Limited received applications for an amount in excess of the maximum £0.5 million available. In order to give priority to orders received from existing ValiRx shareholders, after consultation with TPI, the Company decided to scale back the order book such that applications for an aggregate 2,727,272 new ordinary shares (representing approximately £0.3 million raised, before expenses) will be processed. A further 327,273 shares will be issued under the Broker Offer to the Company's Nominated Adviser, Cairn Financial Advisers LLP, in lieu of transactional fees payable.
The Broker Offer Shares will be issued at a price of 11 pence per Broker Offer Share (being the Issue Price) and on the same terms and conditions as the issue of the Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing.
The total gross proceeds for the Company from the Fundraising is £1.3 million.
Admission
Subject to shareholder approval at the General Meeting, the Company will make an application to the London Stock Exchange plc for 3,054,545 new ordinary shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Second Admission"). It is expected that Second Admission of the Broker Offer Shares will become effective and dealings will commence at 08.00 a.m. on 6 February 2023. The Broker Offer Shares will rank pari passu with the Existing Shares.
Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall, unless otherwise defined, have the same meanings as set out in the Company's announcement of 13 January 2023.
