Clinical stage Exopharm announces a successful Placement and the opening of a Share Purchase Plan

Melbourne, Australia: Exopharm Limited (ASX:EX1) has finalised a A$4.44 million share placement to new institutional and sophisticated investors.  A further Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to existing shareholders has a target raise of A$2.7m.

The funds raised under the Placement and SPP will be used to accelerate Exopharm’s development activities across manufacturing, testing and development of additional intellectual property – each aimed at validating Exopharm’s products and technologies and attracting partnership deals.

Recent Human Research Ethics Committee approval enables Exopharm to commence the first-in-human clinical trial for Plexaris in wound healing, as announced on 22 July 2019. As a clinical stage company, Exopharm has an opportunity to accelerate other development programs and initiatives.

Dr Dixon, Founder CEO and Managing Director of Exopharm said “The support from new and existing shareholders is welcome. We have made significant progress quickly since the December ’18 IPO. As a clinical stage company we now need to accelerate all aspects of our activities to capitalise upon our leadership position in this growth area of cell free regenerative medicine.”
