WRAP Retail Offer for up to GBP500,000
ImmuPharma Plc is pleased to announce a retail offer via the
Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP") to raise up to
GBP500,000 (the "WRAP Retail Offer") through the issue of new
ordinary shares of 1 pence each in the capital of the Company
("Ordinary Shares"). Under the WRAP Retail Offer, up to 25,000,000
new Ordinary Shares (the "Retail Offer Shares") will be made
available at a price of 2 pence per share (the "Issue Price").
In addition to the WRAP Retail Offer and as announced 7 a.m. on
31 August, the Company has also announced a subscription to raise
GBP1.35 million through the issue of 67,500,000 new Ordinary Shares
("Subscription Shares") at the Issue Price utilising existing
authorities to allot shares. This comprises a subscription subject
to a Sharing Agreement (as defined below) of GBP1.0 million
("Subscription") and an initial subscription of GBP0.35 million
(the "Direct Subscription"). The Company has entered into a sharing
agreement ("Sharing Agreement") with finance provider and current
7.97 per cent shareholder, Lanstead Capital Investors L.P.
("Lanstead") in relation to GBP1.0 million of the amount subscribed
by them under the Subscription.
The Issue Price represents a discount of approximately 16.7 per
cent. to the mid-market closing price of an Ordinary Share on 30
August 2023 (being the latest practicable date prior to this
announcement).
A separate announcement has been made regarding the Subscription
and the Direct Subscription (together, the "Subscriptions") and the
relevant terms and sets out the reasons for the Subscriptions and
use of proceeds. The proceeds of the WRAP Retail Offer will be
utilised in the same way as the proceeds of the Subscriptions.
For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail Offer is not part of
the Subscriptions. Completion of the WRAP Retail Offer is in
addition to the Subscriptions and will be conditional, inter alia,
upon Admission becoming effective.
The WRAP Retail Offer and the Subscriptions are conditional on
the Retail Offer Shares and the Subscription Shares being admitted
to trading on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange plc
("Admission"). It is anticipated that Admission of the Subscription
Shares will become effective and that dealings in the Subscription
Shares will commence on AIM, at 8 a.m. on 5 September 2023. It is
anticipated that Admission of the Retail Offer Shares will become
effective and that dealings in the Retail Offer Shares will
commence on AIM, at 8 a.m. on 12 September 2023

exemption from the requirement to publish a prospectus in section
86(1)(e) of FSMA. As such, there is no need for publication of a
prospectus pursuant to the Prospectus Regulation Rules of the
Financial Conduct Authority, or for approval of the same by the
Financial Conduct Authority. The WRAP Retail Offer is not being
made into any jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom.
No offering document, prospectus or admission document has been
or will be prepared or submitted to be approved by the Financial
Conduct Authority (or any other authority) in relation to the WRAP
Retail Offer, and investors' commitments will be made solely on the
basis of the information contained in this announcement and
information that has been published by or on behalf of the Company

Regulatory Information Service in accordance with the Financial

Investors should make their own investigations into the merits
of an investment in the Company. Nothing in this announcement
amounts to a recommendation to invest in the Company or amounts to
investment, taxation or legal advice.
It should be noted that a subscription for Retail Offer Shares
and investment in the Company carries a number of risks. Investors
should take independent advice from a person experienced in
advising on investment in securities such as the Retail Offer
Shares if they are in any doubt.
An investment in the Company will place capital at risk. The
value of investments, and any income, can go down as well as up, so
investors could get back less than the amount invested.
Neither past performance nor any forecasts should be considered
a reliable indicator of future results.
