Inspiration Healthcare Group
plc
("Inspiration Healthcare" or the
"Company")
Result of WRAP Retail
Offer
Inspiration Healthcare Group plc (AIM: IHC),
the global medical technology company pioneering specialist
neonatal intensive care medical devices, is pleased to confirm,
further to the announcements made on 26 June 2024, the result of
its capital raising at the Issue Price of 14 pence per share. The
Company announces that it has raised aggregate gross proceeds of
£0.5 million pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer, alongside the
previously announced Placing and Subscription (the "Fundraising" and together with the WRAP
Retail Offer, the "Capital
Raising"). Accordingly, the Company will issue a total of
3,571,428 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price pursuant to the
WRAP Retail Offer.
In total, the Fundraising and the WRAP Retail
Offer have raised gross proceeds of approximately £3.0 million for
the Company, via the Fundraising of 17,857,142 Placing and
Subscription Shares and the 3,571,428 WRAP Retail Offer
Shares.
Admission and
Total Voting Rights
Applications have been made for the Placing and
Subscription Shares and the WRAP Retail Offer Shares to be admitted
to trading on AIM ("Admission"). Admission is expected to
become effective on or around 8.00 a.m. on 23 July 2024.
Upon Admission, the Company's issued ordinary
share capital will consist of 89,663,372 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 89,663,372. With
effect from Admission, this figure may be used by Shareholders in
the Company 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 FCA's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The new Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant
to the WRAP 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, the
Subscription and the Company's existing Ordinary Shares.
Terms used but
not defined in this announcement have the same meaning as set out
in the Company's announcement released at 7.00 a.m. on 26 June
2024.

"estimate", "expect" and words of similar meaning, include all
matters that are not historical facts. These forward-looking
statements involve risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could
cause the actual results of operations, financial condition,
liquidity and dividend policy and the development of the industries
in which the Company's businesses operate to differ materially from
the impression created by the forward-looking statements. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject
to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given
those risks and uncertainties, prospective investors are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on forward-looking
statements.
These forward-looking statements speak only as
at the date of this announcement and cannot be relied upon as a
guide to future performance. The Company and Winterflood expressly
disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any
forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect actual
results or any change in the assumptions, conditions or
circumstances on which any such statements are based unless
required to do so by the Financial Conduct Authority, the London

price at which the Ordinary Shares have been bought or sold in the
past cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance.
Persons needing advice should consult an independent financial
adviser. No statement in this announcement is intended to be a
profit forecast and no statement in this announcement should be
interpreted to mean that earnings or target dividend per share of
the Company for the current or future financial years would
