RTW Biotech Opportunities Ltd
Monthly Valuation Update, January Factsheet
+2.5% NAV movement for the month
RTW Biotech Opportunities Ltd (the "Company" or "RTW Bio") announces that the unaudited net asset value attributable to the ordinary shares of the Company (the "NAV") at the close of business on 31 January 2024 was US$407.1 million, or US$1.94 per ordinary share, +2.5% from the previous month.
The monthly factsheet is available on the Company's website:
https://www.rtwfunds.com/rtw-biotech-opportunities-ltd/factsheets-letters/
It is important to note that this NAV and January Factsheet do not reflect the completion of the Arix Bioscience plc ("Arix") transaction (the "Transaction"), which closed after January month-end with the new RTW Bio shares being admitted to trading on 13 February 2024. It does, however, include the previously announced acquisition of a 25.5% stake in Arix for a total consideration of US$57.1 million (representing £1.37 per Arix share) as reported on 22 January. On 31 January, the Arix stake amounted to 13.7% of NAV and was held in the "other public" segment of the portfolio, and as such it is not shown on the January Factsheet, which only shows core positions.
The Company intends to publish, at the soonest opportunity, an indicative and estimated pro forma NAV and NAV per share as at the closing date of the Transaction, reflecting the completion of the Transaction and new share issuance.
