SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
Melbourne, Australia – 13 November 2024: Percheron Therapeutics Limited (ASX: PER
or ‘the Company’), an international biotechnology company focused on the
development of novel therapies for rare diseases, is pleased to announce successful
completion of the Company’s Share Purchase Plan (SPP) that was launched on 28
October 20241 to raise up to a maximum of AUD$2 million.
Key Points
•
The SPP followed a two-tranche placement to sophisticated and institutional
investors that received commitments representing $13 million in gross proceeds.
The first tranche of $10.8 million was completed on 24 October 2024, with a second
tranche of $2.2 million subject to the Company refreshing its placement capacity at
the Percheron Therapeutics Annual General Meeting to be held on 21 November
2024.2
•
The intent of the SPP was to provide an equitable opportunity for existing
shareholders to purchase stock in the Company on the same terms as institutional
participants.
•
The Company has received 201 applications, totalling $1.85 million in gross
proceeds. As a result, it is expected that 23,160,916 new shares will be allotted on
Friday 15 November 2024, with all subscriptions honoured in full.
“We consider it an important matter of equity that retail holders are able to purchase
stock on the same terms as institutional investors, and so our general preference is for
institutional placements to be accompanied by corresponding facilities for existing retail
holders,” commented Percheron CEO, Dr James Garner. “We are delighted that 201
shareholders have chosen to participate on this occasion. While the previous
institutional placement has funded the Company into CY2026 based on current
activities, the incremental funds from the SPP will allow us to support and augment
some valuable additional activities, including the post-trial access program that was
announced on 28 October 2024, and further engagement with patient advocacy. With
our financing activities now substantially complete, we look forward to reporting initial
data from our ongoing international phase IIb clinical trial of avicursen (ATL1102) in
Duchenne muscular dystrophy in December.”
