The company is also pleased to announce that it has raised £3.0 million via the open offer and, accordingly, has raised total gross proceeds of approximately £13.0 million through the transaction.
The open offer closed for acceptances at 11.00 a.m. on 26 February 2021 and was oversubscribed. Valid acceptances have been received in respect of 70,437,483 open offer shares, representing approximately 347 per cent. of the open offer Shares available under the Open Offer. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the open offer, all applications made pursuant to the open offer (other than excess shares applied for under the excess application Facility) have been met in full and a scaling back exercise has been undertaken in respect of applications for excess shares. The company has therefore raised gross proceeds of approximately £3.0 million through the Open Offer.

Application has been made for a total of 86,954,731 new ordinary shares, to be issued pursuant to the transaction, to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission and dealings in the 86,954,731 new ordinary shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 2 March 2021. Following admission, the enlarged share capital of the company will consist of 431,851,820 ordinary shares. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the company is 431,851,820 and this figure may be used by shareholders 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.

CPI has developed a specialist offering to support SMEs looking to develop their printable electronics applications and our partnership with Business Durham has been instrumental in attracting several SMEs to locate here in the region.
It fits perfectly for us that we’re surrounded by like-minded companies at NETPark. There are a number of highly skilled people in the area who can help us grow our business. The facilities and services offered by NETPark are first class, they make office life simple and engaging.
Access to quality facilities was one of the main drivers for deciding to locate the business at the NETPark. We have been able to use this as a launch pad to link into support from CPI and world-class expertise from Durham University.
The quality of the facilities at NETPark and the attitude of staff is first class. It has a really dynamic, innovative atmosphere.
We initially came because of the printable electronics centre but access to a highly skilled semi conductor workforce in the North East has been a key factor in us staying and growing here, as well as the value for money office space and the access to funding.
The proximity to the universities and the infrastructure are very important factors. Ultimately having a presence in Europe is very valuable to us and we intend to stay at NETPark for many years to come.
