Renalytix (NASDAQ: RNLX) (AIM: RENX), an artificial intelligence-enabled in vitro diagnostics company, focused on optimizing clinical management of kidney disease to drive improved patient outcomes and advance value-based care, confirms that, further to the Company’s announcement released at 5.42 p.m. on 30 September 2024 (RNS Number: 3313G) (the “Fundraising Announcement”), the bookbuild has now closed and the Company has, conditionally, raised gross proceeds of £11.8 million by way of a successful placing of, and subscription for, a total of 131,161,556 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price of 9 pence per share (the “Placing and Subscription”). The Issue Price represents a premium of 12.5 per cent. to the closing middle market price of 8 pence per Ordinary Share on 30 September 2024, being the last business day prior to this announcement.
Oberon Capital (a trading name of Oberon Investments Limited) is acting as sole bookrunner in respect of the Placing. The Placing was undertaken through an accelerated bookbuild process.
The above figures include the issue of 13,366,750 shares to The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (“Mount Sinai”), which shares have been issued in the expectation that Mount Sinai will forgive certain debts payable by the Company. Excluding these shares, the gross proceeds of the Placing and Subscription are £10.6 million.
James McCullough, CEO of Renalytix commented: “We are very excited about the future potential of our business. The strong demand we have seen for the Fundraise supports our view that Renalytix offers investors unique access to a world-leading kidney prognostic test: the only test to be FDA approved, granted full Medicare reimbursement at $950 per test; recommended in KDIGO Clinical Guidelines; available to approximately 14m US diabetic kidney disease patients; and able to address the needs of approximately 260M DKD patients globally.
“We now have a strong cash and balance sheet position, we have taken positive actions to substantially reduce our monthly cash burn, and we are delivering quarter-on-quarter growth in orders, whilst also supporting a new customer launch. We believe these factors, combined, will take the Company to profitability and cash flow break-even in approximately two years and that we have the potential to generate revenue of approximately $17.5 million in FY27.”
Capitalised terms used in this announcement (the “Announcement”) have the meanings given to them in the Fundraising Announcement, unless the context provides otherwise.
The Placing and Subscription and the issue of the Placing and Subscription Shares are conditional upon, amongst other things:
| • | | the Placing Agreement having become unconditional (save for First Admission and Second Admission) and not having been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to First Admission and Second Admission; and |
