("OBI", "Ondine", or the "Company")
Result of Fundraising
Ondine Biomedical Inc. (AIM: OBI), a Canadian life sciences
company, announces the close of the Broker Option, and the
successful completion of the Fundraising (comprising the Placing,
Subscription and Broker Option), raising c.GBP2.85 million ( C$4.91
million ) in total.
Further to the announcement on 5 December 2023 regarding the
Placing and the Subscription, a further 1,136,110 new shares (the
"New Shares") will be issued pursuant to the Broker Option. The
Fundraising was completed at an issue price of 9 pence (the "Issue
Price") which represents a premium of approximately 9 per cent. to
the closing mid-price of the Common Shares on 29 November 2023
(being the day prior to the launch of the Fundraising).
After the deduction of associated fees and expenses, the net
proceeds of GBP2.45 million (C$4.22 million) receivable by the
Company from the Fundraising (comprising the Placing, Subscription
and Broker Option) will be used principally to support the
Company's ongoing commercialisation efforts focused in Canada, the
UK, Spain and Mexico and to provide general working capital. The
net proceeds from the Fundraising will provide further cash runway
until at least mid Q2 2024. The Company continues to evaluate
funding opportunities for its Phase 3 study in the US, subject to
the finalisation of the trial design with the FDA, and for further
commercial development internationally.
Admission, Settlement and Dealings
The 30,555,553 Common Shares issued pursuant to the Placing and
Subscription were admitted to trading on AIM on 8 December 2023.
The New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Broker Option will be
admitted to trading on AIM on or around 15 December 2023
("Admission").
The New Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank
pari passu in all respects with the Existing Common Shares,
including the right to receive all dividends and other
distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue.
Total Voting Rights
As at the date of this announcement and taking into account the
Placing Shares and the Subscription Shares, the issued share
capital and total voting rights in the Company is 225, 617,679.
This figure may be used as the denominator for the calculations by
which shareholders 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 Guidance and Transparency Rules.
Following admission of the New Shares issued pursuant to the
Broker Option, the Company's issued and fully paid share capital
will consist of 226,753,789 Common Shares, each carrying one voting
right per share. The Company does not hold any Common Shares in
treasury. Therefore, from 15 December 2023, the total number of
Common Shares and voting rights in the Company is expected to be
226,753,789.
After the admission of the New Shares, this figure may be used
as the denominator for the calculations by which Shareholders 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
Guidance and Transparency Rules.

UK Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements
contained within chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Product Intervention
and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK Product Governance
Requirements") and disclaiming all and any liability, whether
arising in tort, contract or otherwise, which any "manufacturer"
(for the purposes of the UK Product Governance Requirements) may
otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares and the
Broker Option Shares have been subject to a product approval
process, which has determined that the Placing Shares and the
Broker Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of
retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of
professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined
in chapter 3 of the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook
("COBS"); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all permitted
distribution channels (the " UK Target Market Assessment").
Notwithstanding the UK Target Market Assessment, distributors
should note that: the price of the Placing Shares and the Broker
Option Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of
their investment; the Placing Shares and the Broker Option Shares
offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an
investment in Placing Shares and the Broker Option Shares is
compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income
or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an
appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient
resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom.
The UK Target Market Assessment is without prejudice to the
requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling
restrictions in relation to the Placing or the Broker Option.
Furthermore, it is noted that, notwithstanding the UK Target Market
Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners will only procure investors who
meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible
counterparties.
For the avoidance of doubt, the UK Target Market Assessment does
not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness
for the purposes of chapters 9A or 10A respectively of the COBS; or
(b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to
invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with
respect to Placing Shares or the Broker Option Shares. Each
distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market
assessment in respect of the shares and determining appropriate
distribution channels.
EU Product Governance Requirements
Solely for the purposes of Ar ti cle 9(8) of Commission
Delegated Direc ti ve 2017/593 (the "Delegated Direc ti ve ")
regarding the responsibili ti es of Manufacturers under the Product
Governance requirements contained within: (a) Direc ti ve
2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID
II"); (b) Ar ti cles 9 and 10 of the Delegated Direc ti ve; and (c)
local implemen ti ng measures (the "MiFID II Product Governance
Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether
arising in tort, contract or otherwise which any "manufacturer"
(for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements)
may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares and the
Broker Option Shares have been subject to a product approval
process, which has determined that the Placing Shares and the
Broker Option Shares are (i) compa ti ble with an end target market
of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of
professional clients and eligible counterpar ti es, each as defined
in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribu ti on through all
distribu ti on channels as are permi tt ed by MiFID II (the "Target
Market Assessment"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment,
Distributors (as defined within the MiFID II Product Governance
Requirements) should note that: the price of the Placing Shares and
the Broker Option Shares may decline and investors could lose all
or part of their investment; the Placing Shares and the Broker
Option Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protec ti
on; and an investment in Placing Shares and the Broker Option
Shares is compa ti ble only with investors who do not need a
guaranteed income or capital protec ti on, who (either alone or in
conjunc ti on with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are
capable of evalua ti ng the merits and risks of such an investment
and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses
that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is without
prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or
regulatory selling restric ti ons in rela ti on to the proposed
Placing or the Broker Option. Furthermore, it is noted that,
notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Joint Bookrunners
will only procure investors who meet the criteria of professional
clients and eligible counterpar ti es. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Target Market Assessment does not cons ti tute: (a) an
assessment of suitability of appropriateness for the purposes of
MiFID II; or (b) a recommenda ti on to any investor or group of
investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other ac ti on
whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares and the Broker Option
Shares. Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own
target market assessment in respect of the Placing Shares and the
Broker Option Shares and determining appropriate distribu ti on
channels.
