Intercytex completes 2.8M placement

14 September 2008

UK-based cell therapy specialist Intercytex has raised 2.8 million ($4.9 million) before expenses through a placing for cash of 6,547,619 new ordinary shares at 1 pence each.

The new shares, which represent approximately 8.2% of the company's issued share capital prior to the financing, have been bought by existing institutional shareholders at a price of 42 pence per share. This represents a discount of around 10% to the closing middle market price on September 8.

Commenting on the placing, Nick Higgins, chief executive of Intercytex, said: "these funds will enable us to take our lead treatment for chronic wounds, Cyzact (formerly ICX-PRO), through Phase III trials in readiness for partnering and also to continue the development of the other products in the company's late-stage pipeline."
