ValiRx Raises £1.16m in Oversubscribed Retail and Placing Fundraise

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

ValiRx plc ( (GB:VAL) ) has shared an announcement.

ValiRx has completed an oversubscribed WRAP Retail Offer, raising about £150,000 via 75 million new shares at 0.2 pence, bringing total gross proceeds from its wider fundraising, including a placing and subscription, to approximately £1.155 million. The company will issue fundraising and broker warrants subject to shareholder approval, and the additional capital is expected to support its development pipeline while modestly diluting existing shareholders.

Chief executive Mark Eccleston subscribed for 25 million new shares in the retail offer, lifting his holding to 84.75 million shares, or 6.42% of the enlarged share capital, in a related-party transaction deemed fair and reasonable by independent directors. Admission of the new shares to trading on AIM is expected around 1 June 2026, taking ValiRx’s issued share capital to about 1.32 billion shares and consolidating strong retail investor support for the company’s strategy.
