ReNeuron Group plc
("ReNeuron", the
"Group" or the "Company")
Decision of the Board of
Directors to Appoint Administrators
Further to the announcement of 5
February 2024 in relation to the Company's current business
development, financing discussions and working capital position
(the "Previous
Announcement"), ReNeuron Group plc (AIM: RENE), a UK based
leader in stem cell derived exosome technologies,
announces that the board of directors (the
"Board") has today
resolved to appoint administrators to the Company with such
appointment expected to take effect within the next business
day.
As stated in the Previous
Announcement, the Group has continued to explore a number of
corporate options, including seeking to realise value for its
physical and intellectual assets, has put staff at risk of
redundancy and initiated discussions with its creditors. The Group
has been actively engaged in discussions with its creditors in
order to establish the solvency of the business, with a particular
focus on finding solutions that would allow the Group to continue
trading on a lower cost model. However, to date, certain of these
discussions have not progressed sufficiently for the Group to
establish the precise solvency status of the business and therefore
due to this increased financial uncertainty the decision has been
taken to appoint administrators. The discussions with
potential investors, partners and creditors will remain open
throughout the administration process and further updates will be
made as and when appropriate.
Accordingly, the Board intends
shortly to file the notice of appointment of Cork Gully LLP as
administrators to the Company and a further announcement will be
made in due course once the appointment has become effective. It is
not known at present how much, if any, value will be returned to
shareholders following the administration process.
The person responsible for arranging
the release of this announcement on behalf of the Company is Iain
Ross, Executive Chairman of the Company.
