American Marconi Wireless News - Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals PLC Announces Placing to Raise £250,000 and Director's Dealing

LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / July 29, 2025 /

Introduction

Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals plc (LSE:HEMO) is pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of £250,000 via an allotment to Vladislav Sandler of 133,690 new ordinary shares of £0.01 each ("New Ordinary Shares") at an issue price of 187p, representing a premium to the present market price (the "Issue Price").

The net proceeds of this fundraise will be dedicated to the continuation of the Phase I clinical trials for the Company's Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell therapy ("HG-CT-1"), aimed at treating relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia in adults ("R/R AML"). As shareholders will be aware, the first two patients have now been treated with HG-CT-1 with the four-week safety trials successfully completed and with encouraging early signs of efficacity.

Issuance of the New Ordinary Shares

The Company is currently unable to issue and admit New Ordinary Shares without either the publication of an FCA approved prospectus or relying upon an exemption to the requirement to issue a prospectus.

Consequently, this fundraise involves the agreement by Vladislav Sandler, CEO and director of the Company, to subscribe for the New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price pursuant to the employee offer exemption under Article 1(4)(i) and 1(5) (h) of the UK Prospectus Regulation.

Following allotment of the New Ordinary Shares, Vladislav Sandler has agreed to direct their issue to a small group of individual investors who made an approach wishing to make a new investment in the Company; they will acquire the Subscription Shares from Mr Sandler at the price of 187p per share.

Warrants

Concurrent with the purchase of the New Ordinary Shares, the new investor group will receive warrants from the Company on a one-for-one basis. These warrants will be exercisable for a period of 36 months at an exercise price of 187p ("Exercise Price"), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set out in the warrant instrument including a reset of the Exercise Price if the Company completes a share issuance (or other transaction granting rights to subscribe for equity securities) during the Exercise Period at a price lower than the Exercise Price.

Total Voting Rights

Application will be made for the 133,690 New Ordinary Shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares of the Company, to be admitted to theFCA official list and to trading on the equity shares (transition) category of the Official List maintained by the FCA and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the LSE, which is expected to occur on or around 8.00 a.m. on 7 August 2025 ("Admission").

Upon Admission, the total number of issued shares and the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 4,727,229.

​The above figure of 4,727,229 should be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

The Company will keep the market informed of future developments as trials proceed.

Dr Vladislav Sandler, CEO & Co-Founder of Hemogenyx Pharmaceuticals, commented:
"We are pleased to have attracted funding from this group of investors at a premium to the current price - this reflects their confidence in the progress made by the Company to date and in the long-term prospects of Hemogenyx. The fact that the raise was completed at a premium to the market price demonstrates this confidence and shows that they see considerable upside potential in our share price as we advance HG-CT-1 through clinical development. ."
