Fund-raising to accelerate clinical programme

Medigene has announced a placing of €20.7m gross (issuing 2m new shares at €10.55) to intensify its R&D through the expansion of its planned T-cell receptor (TCR) modified T-cells clinical programme. This was achieved with an accelerated book build process and became effective today. The fund-raising was over-subscribed and included both existing institutional shareholders and new specialised healthcare investors. We place our financial forecasts and valuation under review to assess the full impact, but see this as a significant and positive step.
