APPROVED BY WINTERFLOOD SECURITIES LIMITED WHICH IS AUTHORISED AND REGULATED
BY THE FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY (FRN 141455).
17 March 2026
ImmuPharma PLC
("ImmuPharma" or the "Company")
WRAP Retail Offer for up to £1.5 million
ImmuPharma PLC (LSE:IMM), the specialist drug discovery and development
company, is pleased to announce a retail offer via the Winterflood Retail
Access Platform ("WRAP") to raise up to £1.5 million (the "WRAP Retail
Offer") through the issue of new ordinary shares of 1 penny each in the
capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Under the WRAP Retail Offer
25,000,000 new Ordinary Shares (the "WRAP Retail Offer Shares") will be made
available at a price of 6.0 pence per share.
In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as announced at 7.00 a.m. on 17 March
2026, the Company is also proposing a subscription of new Ordinary Shares (the
"Subscription Shares" and together with the WRAP Retail Offer Shares, the "New
Ordinary Shares") to raise approximately £7.5 million (before expenses) at a
price of 6.0 pence per Subscription Share (the "Issue Price"). The Issue Price
represents a discount of approximately 13.7 per cent. to the mid-market
closing price of an Ordinary Share on 16 March 2026 (being the latest
practicable date prior to this announcement). The issue price of the WRAP
Retail Offer Shares is equal to the Issue Price.
A separate announcement has been made regarding the Subscription and its terms
and sets out the reasons for the Subscription and use of proceeds. The
proceeds of the WRAP Retail Offer will be utilised in the same way as the
proceeds of the Subscription.
For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail Offer is not part of the
Subscription. Completion of the WRAP Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia,
upon the completion of the Subscription but completion of the Subscription is
not conditional on the completion of the WRAP Retail Offer.
The WRAP Retail Offer and the Subscription are conditional on shareholder
approval at a forthcoming general meeting expected to be held on 7 April 2026
and on the New Ordinary Shares being admitted to trading on the London Stock
Exchange plc ("Admission"). It is anticipated that Admission will become
effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence on AIM,
at 8.00 a.m. on 8 April 2026.
WRAP Retail Offer
The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is
appropriate to provide both new and existing retail shareholders in the United
Kingdom the opportunity to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer.
Therefore, the Company is making the WRAP Retail Offer open to eligible
investors in the United Kingdom, being new or existing shareholders of
ImmuPharma, following release of this announcement and through certain
financial intermediaries.
A number of retail platforms are able to access the WRAP Retail Offer.
Non-holders or existing shareholders wishing to subscribe for WRAP Retail
Offer Shares should contact their broker or wealth manager who will confirm if
they are participating in the Retail Offer.
Retail brokers wishing to participate in the Retail Offer on behalf of
eligible retail investors, should contact WRAP@winterflood.com.
The Retail Offer is expected to close at 2.00 p.m. on 20 March 2026. Eligible
retail investors should note that financial intermediaries may have earlier
closing times. The result of the Retail Offer is expected to be announced by
the Company on or around 23 March 2026.
To be eligible to participate in the Retail Offer, applicants must be a
customer of a participating intermediary including individuals aged 18 years
or over, companies and other bodies corporate, partnerships, trusts,
associations and other unincorporated organisations.
There is a minimum subscription of £100 per investor under the Retail Offer.
The terms and conditions on which investors subscribe will be provided by the
relevant financial intermediaries including relevant commission or fee
charges.
The Company reserves the right to amend the size and timings of the retail
offer at its discretion. The Company reserves the right to scale back any
order and to reject any application for subscription under the WRAP Retail
Offer without giving any reason for such rejection.
It is vital to note that once an application for WRAP Retail Offer Shares has
been made and accepted via an intermediary, it cannot be withdrawn.
The WRAP Retail Offer Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid, and
have the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made
or paid after their date of issue.
Investors should make their own investigations into the merits of an
investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement amounts to a
recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to investment, taxation or
legal advice.
It should be noted that a subscription for Ordinary Shares and investment in
the Company carries a number of risks, including the risk that investors may
lose their entire investment. Investors should take independent advice from a
person experienced in advising on investment in securities such as the
Ordinary Shares if they are in any doubt.
An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The value of
investments, and any income, can go down as well as up, so investors could get
back less than the amount invested.
Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered a reliable
indicator of future results.
The Retail Offer is offered in the United Kingdom under an exception from
prohibitions on offers to the public pursuant to Schedule 1 (Part 1) of The
Public Offers and Admission to Trading Regulations 2024 and under an exemption
from the requirement to publish a prospectus under the FCA's Prospectus Rules:
Admission to Trading on a Regulated Market sourcebook. The Retail Offer is not
being made into any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom.
No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been or will be
prepared or submitted to be approved by the Financial Conduct Authority (or
any other authority) in relation to the WRAP Retail Offer, and investors'
commitments will be made solely on the basis of the information contained in
this announcement and information that has been published by or on behalf of
the Company prior to the date of this announcement by notification to a
Regulatory Information Service in accordance with the Financial Conduct
Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the Market Abuse
Regulation (EU Regulation No. 596/2014) ("MAR") and MAR as it forms part of
United Kingdom law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (as
amended).
