Results of Placing and Open Offer

and Result of General Meeting

 

On 16 August 2021, Creo announced it had raised £31.25 by way of a conditional Placing and subsequently launched an Open Offer to raise up to an additional £5.07 million.

 

The Company is pleased to announce that at its General Meeting held today all of the resolutions, as set out in the Circular dated 16 August 2021, were duly passed.

 

The Company is also pleased to announce the results of the Open Offer, which closed for acceptances at 11:00 a.m. on 3 September 2021 and was significantly oversubscribed. Valid acceptances have been received in respect of 6,609,936 Open Offer Shares, representing 238.1 per cent. of the Open Offer Shares available under the Open Offer.  In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Open Offer all applications made pursuant to the Open Offer (other than Excess Shares applied for under the Excess Application Facility) have been met in full and a scaling back exercise has been undertaken in respect of applications for Excess Shares. The Company has therefore raised gross proceeds of approximately £5.07 million through the Open Offer. 

 

Application has been made for a total of 19,899,184 new Ordinary Shares, to be issued pursuant to the Placing and Open Offer to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission and dealings in the 19,899,184 new Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 7 September 2021. Following Admission, the Enlarged Share Capital of the Company will consist of 180,901,186 Ordinary Shares. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 180,901,186 and this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in the Company, or there is a change to their interest in the Company.

 

 

This announcement should be read in conjunction with the full text of the Circular posted to Shareholders on 16 August 2021, copies of which are available on the Company's website www.creomedical.com.  The same definitions apply throughout this announcement as are applied in the Circular.
