("N4 Pharma" or the "Company")
Placing to raise £2 million
N4 Pharma Plc (AIM: N4P), the specialist pharmaceutical company developing
Nuvec®, a novel delivery system for cancer treatments and vaccines, is
pleased to announce that it has raised £2 million (before expenses) through a
placing of 25,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.4p each in the Company (the
"Placing Shares") at an issue price of 8p per Placing Share (the "Placing"). The
Placing, which was significantly oversubscribed, was undertaken by SP Angel
Corporate Finance LLP.
The net proceeds of the Placing will be used for:
·
the extension of the formulation and current stability work covering
DNA and mRNA formulations;
· research on and evaluation of an additional asset to add to the
Company portfolio;
· business development driven by study results pending over next six
months; and
· ongoing working capital.
Nigel Theobald, Chief Executive of N4 Pharma, commented: "We are
delighted with the positive response to our recent formulation work. With
vaccines and their delivery very much in the public consciousness we
continue to grow our data package to present Nuvec® as a viable delivery
technology solution to improve the delivery, storage and transportation of
multiple existing and new vaccines.
"Whilst we are well funded for all existing work streams these additional
funds will enable us to plan for follow on studies and more product focussed
experiments as we move towards collaborations."
Application for Admission
The Placing has been conducted utilising the Company's existing share
authorities. Application has been made for the Placing Shares to be admitted
to trading on AIM ("Admission") and it is expected that Admission will take
place and that trading will commence on AIM at 8.00 a.m. on or around 14
December 2020. Once issued, the new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu
with the Company's existing ordinary shares.
Total Voting Rights
Following Admission, the enlarged issued share capital of the Company will
comprise 181,080,349 Ordinary Shares of 0.4 pence each. The Company
does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Consequently, 181,080,349 is
the figure which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the
calculation by which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's
Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

About N4 Pharma
N4 Pharma is a specialist pharmaceutical company developing a novel
delivery system for cancer and vaccine treatments using its unique silica
nanoparticle delivery system called Nuvec®.
N4 Pharma's business model is to partner with companies developing novel
antigens for cancer and vaccine treatments to use Nuvec® as the delivery
vehicle to get their antigen into cells to express the protein needed for the
required immunity. As these products progress through pre clinical and
clinical programs, N4 Pharma will seek to receive up front payments,
milestone payments and ultimately royalty payments once products reach
the market.
