("Oncimmune" or the "Company")
Strategic update
Oncimmune Holdings plc (AIM: ONC.L), a leading autoantibody profiling company to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry enabling precision medicine, notes the recent fall in the Company's share price.
As previously announced on 10 February 2025, the Company has been exploring strategic partnerships and business synergies to build its critical mass, whilst in parallel seeking additional financing to extend its limited cash runway in light of the slower than expected conversion of certain contracts.
The Company has appointed Alvarez & Marsal to undertake a targeted outreach to potential partners and investors for the Company's trading subsidiary. The Company is also in active discussions with existing investors and with brokers regarding a fundraising with the intention of raising sufficient capital to extend its cash runway beyond April 2025.
The Company remains confident in its longer-term prospects and reiterates the outlook set out in its results announcement of 10 February 2025. Oncimmune entered this current financial year having achieved growth at an unprecedented rate with some positive indicators for this growth continuing into 2025 and beyond. A material proportion of contracted revenue forecast for the current financial year remains to be collected as cash, and the pipeline of work from existing customers may grow to reflect follow-on projects. There are eleven further live projects under discussion with a potential value of over £1.8m and a number of significant strategic collaborations and transformative contracts. Whilst there is no certainty as to value and timing of such contracts, they would, if they proceed, materially impact Oncimmune's financial performance.
