Results of Placing
The Company is pleased to announce that a total of 11,000,000 Placing Shares have been conditionally placed at a price of 45 pence per Placing Share, raising gross proceeds of £4.95 million (approximately £4.6 million after expenses). The Placing Shares will represent approximately 25.8% of the Company's enlarged issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares).
William Catchpole, CEO of PCI Pal, said:
"We are delighted by the response we have received from new and existing shareholders. The funds raised through the placing will enable us to invest in the business and capitalise on the significant commercial opportunities in North America and elsewhere. We look forward to this exciting next stage of development of PCI Pal."
