Science in Sport plc

(the "Company" or the "Group")

Result of the Retail Offer

 

Science in Sport plc (AIM: SIS), the premium performance nutrition company serving elite athletes, sports enthusiasts, and the active lifestyle community, is pleased to confirm that, further to the announcement made on 4 July 2024 in relation to the Placing ("Launch Announcement") and the announcement made on 4 July 2024 in relation to the Retail Offer, it has raised aggregate gross proceeds of £0.5 million pursuant to the oversubscribed Retail Offer (the Placing together with the Retail Offer being referred to in this announcement as the "Capital Raising"). Accordingly, the Company will issue a total of 2,941,176 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price pursuant to the Retail Offer ("Retail Offer Shares").

 

In total, the Capital Raising has conditionally raised gross proceeds of approximately £8.5 million for the Company.

 

Admission and total voting rights

Applications have been made for the Placing Shares and the Retail Offer Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM, a market of that name operated by London Stock Exchange plc ("AIM") ("Admission"). Admission is expected to become effective on or around 8.00 a.m. on 25 July 2024.

 

Upon Admission, the Company's issued ordinary share capital will consist of 232,272,606 Ordinary Shares with one voting right each. The Company does not hold any Ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, from Admission the total number of Ordinary Shares and voting rights in the Company will be 232,272,606. With effect from Admission, this figure 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, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's ("FCA") Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

 

The new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Retail Offer will be issued free of all liens, charges and encumbrances and will, on Admission, rank pari passu in all respects with the new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.

 

Terms used but not defined in this announcement have the same meaning as set out in the Launch Announcement.

 

Commenting, Daniel Wright, Executive Chairman of Science in Sport, said: "The widespread support from our retail shareholder base in this Retail Offer underscores the deep loyalty of so many consumers to Science in Sport's world-leading brands."
