Issue of Equity
The Company has applied for 6,352 new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM (“Admission”). It is expected that Admission will occur and that dealings will commence in the new Ordinary Shares on 6 February 2023. The new Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the existing Ordinary Shares.
The total number of Ordinary Shares in issue following Admission will be 5,215,685 and the Company holds no shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights in the Company will be 5,215,685.
The above figure of 5,215,685 may be used by shareholders 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, Bioventix under the FCA’s Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
