Provexis, the business that develops, licenses and sells the proprietary, scientifically-proven Fruitflow® heart-health functional food ingredient, is pleased to announce it has raised a gross £301,333 via a placing (the 'Placing'), conditional on admission to trading on AIM, of 75,333,333 new ordinary shares of 0.1p each (the 'New Provexis Shares') with new and existing investors.
 
The New Provexis Shares will be issued at a price of 0.40p per share (the 'Placing Price'), and rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of 0.1p each in Provexis. No commissions or expenses will be payable on the issue of the New Provexis Shares. The proceeds of the Placing will be used for general working capital requirements.
 
The Placing Price represents a discount of 11.1 per cent. to the closing mid-market price per Ordinary Share on 10 December 2019, being the latest practicable date prior to this announcement.
 
Application will be made to the London Stock Exchange for the New Provexis Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that the admission will become effective and that trading in the New Provexis Shares will commence on or around 17 December 2019 ('Admission').
 
Following Admission, the Company's enlarged issued share capital will comprise 2,059,321,507 ordinary shares with voting rights. The Company does not hold any shares in treasury. This figure of 2,059,321,507 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
