ANGLE plc (AIM:AGL OTCQX:ANPCY), a world-leading liquid biopsy company, is pleased to announce that, further to the announcement made earlier today, the Company has successfully raised gross proceeds of £18 million by conditionally placing 29,268,294 Placing Shares at a price of 61.5 pence per New Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price") with new and existing investors. 

The Issue Price was the closing mid-market price of an Ordinary Share of 61.5 pence on 24 June 2019.

A circular to Shareholders is expected to be posted shortly, including details of the General Meeting and the Resolutions and will be available on the Company's website, www.angleplc.com.

The General Meeting will be held at 10.00 a.m. on 12 July 2019 at the offices of the Company at 10 Nugent Road, The Surrey Research Park, Guildford, Surrey GU2 7AF.

The participation by Jupiter Asset Management Limited ("Jupiter") in the Placing represents a related party transaction under Rule 13 of the AIM Rules as Jupiter is a substantial shareholder in the Company.

The Directors of the Company, having consulted with finnCap in its capacity as the Company's Nominated Adviser for the purposes of the AIM Rules, consider the terms on which Jupiter is to participate in the Placing to be fair and reasonable insofar as the Company's Shareholders are concerned.

The Placing is conditional, inter alia, upon the passing of the Resolutions at the General Meeting and upon the relevant Admission becoming effective.

Upon Admission the Enlarged Issued Share Capital is expected to be 172,754,816 Ordinary Shares. On this basis, the Placing Shares will represent approximately 16.94 per cent. of the Company's Enlarged Issued Share Capital.

Application will be made for the 29,268,294 Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM.

Subject to the Resolutions having been passed and the Placing Agreement not having been terminated in accordance with its terms, it is anticipated that admission of the Placing Shares will occur at 8.00 a.m. on or around 15 July 2019.
