Physiomics Plc
("Physiomics" or the "Company")
WRAP Retail Offer for up to £49,999.98
Physiomics plc (AIM: PYC), a leading mathematical modelling, data science and
biostatistics company supporting the development of new therapeutics and
personalised medicine solutions is pleased to announce a retail offer via the
Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP") to raise up to £49,999.98 (the
"WRAP Retail Offer") through the issue of new ordinary shares ("Ordinary
Shares"). Under the WRAP Retail Offer up to 16,666,660 new Ordinary Shares
(the "WRAP Retail Offer Shares") will be made available at a price of £0.003
per share.
In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as announced today, the Company is
also proposing a placing of new Ordinary Shares (the "Placing Shares" and
together with the WRAP Retail Offer Shares, the "New Ordinary Shares") to
raise approximately £499,999.86 (or such other amount as agreed by the
Company) (before expenses) through a bookbuild process (the "Placing") at an
issue price of £0.003 per Placing Share (the "Placing Price"). The Placing
Price represents discount of approximately 33.33 per cent. to the mid-market
closing price of an existing ordinary share on 9 March 2026 (being the latest
practicable date prior to this announcement).
The issue price of the WRAP Retail Offer Shares is equal to the Placing Price.
A separate announcement has been made regarding the Placing and its terms and
sets out the reasons for the Placing and use of proceeds. The proceeds of
the WRAP Retail Offer will be utilised in the same way as the proceeds of the
Placing.
For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail Offer is not part of the Placing.
Completion of the WRAP Retail Offer is conditional, inter alia, upon the
completion of the Placing but completion of the Placing is not conditional on
the completion of the WRAP Retail Offer.
The Placing and WRAP Retail Offer are condition on, inter alia, certain
resolutions being passed by shareholders at a general meeting of the Company
(the "General Meeting"). The resolutions include; (i) authority to reduce the
nominal value of the Company's ordinary shares to accommodate the Placing
Price; (ii) authority, under section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 to allot
the Placing Shares and WRAP Retail Offer Shares; and (iii) authority to allot
the Placing Shares and WRAP Retail Offer Shares for cash as if section 561 of
the Companies Act 2006 did not apply to such allotment. The General Meeting
will be held on 7 April 2026.
The WRAP Retail Offer and the Placing are conditional on the New Ordinary
Shares being admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission") and certain resolutions
being passed at the General Meeting. Following approval of the resolutions
proposed at the General Meeting, it is anticipated that Admission will become
effective and that dealings in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00
a.m. on or around 8 April 2026.
WRAP Retail Offer
The Company values its retail shareholder base and believes that it is
appropriate to provide its existing retail shareholders in the United Kingdom
the opportunity to participate in in its fundraising on the same terms as the
participants of the Placing.
Accordingly, the Company is making the WRAP Retail Offer available to eligible
investors in the United Kingdom, being existing shareholders of Physiomics
plc, following release of this announcement and through certain financial
intermediaries.
Existing shareholders can contact their broker or wealth manager to
participate in the WRAP Retail Offer.
The WRAP Retail Offer is expected to close at 4.30 p.m. on 12 March 2026.
Eligible shareholders should note that financial intermediaries may have
earlier closing times.
Retail brokers wishing to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer on behalf of
existing retail shareholders, should contact wrap@winterflood.com.
To be eligible to participate in the WRAP Retail Offer, applicants must be a
customer of a participating intermediary and, prior to the release of this
announcement, shareholders in the Company which may include 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 WRAP 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 WRAP
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 New Ordinary Shares will, when issued, be credited as fully paid and will
rank pari passu in all respects with existing Ordinary Shares including the
right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid
after their date of issue.
The WRAP Retail Offer is offered in the United Kingdom under the exemption
from the requirement to publish a prospectus pursuant to Schedule 1 (Part 1)
of The Public Offers and Admission to Trading Regulations 2024 and the
Prospectus Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA"). As such, there is
no need for publication of a prospectus pursuant to the Public Offers and
Admissions to Trading Regulations 2024, or for approval of the same by the
FCA. The WRAP 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 FCA (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 FCA'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).
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 WRAP Retail Offer Shares and
investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors should take
independent advice from a person experienced in advising on investment in
securities such as the WRAP Retail Offer 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.

UK Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements of Chapter 3 of
the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the
"UK MiFIR Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any
liability, whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any
"manufacturer" (for the purposes of the UK MiFIR Product Governance
Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the WRAP Retail Offer
Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined
that the WRAP Retail Offer Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target
market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional
clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in paragraphs 3.5 and 3.6
of COBS; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted distribution
channels (the "Target Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the WRAP Retail Offer
Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment;
the WRAP Retail Offer Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital
protection; and an investment in the WRAP Retail Offer Shares is compatible
only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection,
who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other
adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment
and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may
result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to any
contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the WRAP
Retail Offer.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute:
(a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of
Chapters 9A or 10A respectively of COBS; or (b) a recommendation to any
investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other
action whatsoever with respect to the WRAP Retail Offer Shares. Each
distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in
respect of the WRAP Retail Offer Shares and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
