Director Dealing, Issue of Equity and Admission to Trading

Directorate Changes

12 November 2024 - 4basebio PLC (AIM: 4BB) ("4basebio" or the "Company"), which develops and commercialises the large scale manufacture of synthetic DNA as well as nanoparticle delivery solutions, announces the completion of the Strategic Investment following receipt of regulatory approval and clearance under the National Security and Investment Act 2021, for the investment by (i) Fort Aggregator LP, acting by its general partner, Elevage Medical Technologies ("Elevage"), a Patient Square Capital platform and (ii) The Prudential Assurance Company Limited acting by its investment manager M&G Investment Management Limited ("M&G"), initially announced on 29 July 2024 (the "Strategic Investment").

As announced on 9 September 2024, the Strategic Investment is for a combined amount of £40.0 million through an issuance (the "Issuance") of ordinary shares of €1 each ("Ordinary Shares") in the Company at an issue price of 1,500 pence per Ordinary Share (the "Issue Price") (the "Issuance Shares") and the purchase of Ordinary Shares from an entity belonging to the Deutsche Balaton Group and certain directors of the Company ("Sale Shares"), at a purchase price per Sale Share equal to the Issue Price for an aggregate purchase price of approximately £29.4 million (the "Secondary Sale").

Admission to AIM

Application has been made for the 2,666,667 Issuance Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will become effective at 8.00 a.m. on or around 13 November 2024. The Issuance Shares will be issued credited as fully paid and will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after Admission and will otherwise rank on Admission pari passu in all respects with the existing Ordinary Shares.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the total number of Ordinary Shares in issue will be 15,477,395. The Company does not hold any ordinary shares in treasury. Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares with voting rights will be 15,477,395. 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 share capital of the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Secondary Sale

Elevage and M&G have agreed to purchase 1,961,074 Sale Shares in aggregate and, following the completion of the Issuance and the Secondary Sale, Elevage and M&G will together hold 4,627,741 Ordinary Shares representing 29.9% of the Company's enlarged issued share capital.

Mr Plaggemars was appointed to the board of KAMPA AG, one of Europe's leading prefabricated house manufactures, as Chief Restructuring Officer and Chief Financial Officer in January 2009. Due to the financial position of the company and excessive liabilities owned to third parties, Mr Plaggemars filed for insolvency a few weeks after his appointment. The liabilities owed to third parties were approximately EUR 30 million.

The Cologne Local Court appointed Mr. Plaggemars as a member of the Supervisory Board of Youbisheng Green Paper AG by resolution dated 22 April 2015, following the opening of preliminary insolvency proceedings against the Company's assets on 13 August 2018. In his function as a member of the Supervisory Board, Mr. Plaggemars assisted in the preparation and implementation of an insolvency plan. The insolvency plan was filed with the competent court on 17 October 2017, approved by the creditors on 24 November 2017 and became legally binding on 15 January 2018. The insolvency was cancelled by court order on 22 February 2018. Creditors as at 30 June 2015 were approximately EUR 1.5 million.

In April 2015, Mr Plaggemars was appointed to the supervisory board of Ultrasonic AG, by exercise of an appointment right of DELPHI Unternehmensberatung AG after the company filed for insolvency on 11 March 2015. Ultrasonic AG was guarantor under a bank credit facility to Cathay United Bank for an amount of US$60 million. The company was dissolved by the opening of insolvency proceedings against its assets on 10 August 2016.

In December 2017, Mr. Plaggemars was appointed to the management board of S&O Beteiligungen AG (formerly S&O Agrar AG). Insolvency proceedings for S&O Agrar AG had been opened on 2 August 2016. Mr. Plaggemars was appointed to the management board of the former S&O Agrar AG in order to rescue the company within the framework of an insolvency plan. The insolvency plan was filed with the competent courts on 19 November 2018, approved by the creditors on 17 January 2019 and by the competent courts on 10 May 2019. The insolvency proceedings were terminated by court order on 14 June 2019.

In January 2018, Mr. Plaggemars was a member of the supervisory board of Biofrontera AG and was also on the management board of DELPHI Unternehmensberatung AG ("DELPHI"). At the request of the Regional Court of Cologne (Landgericht), Mr. Plaggemars had submitted in November 2018 a written statement in his capacity as member of the supervisory board of Biofrontera AG in a proceeding pending at the court in which DELPHI Unternehmensberatung AG ("DELPHI") had applied for the appointment of a special auditor pursuant to Section 142 (2) AktG. In January 2019, the supervisory board of Biofrontera AG filed an application with the Cologne Local Court for Mr Plaggemars to be removed from its supervisory board on the grounds that solely the supervisory board of Biofrontera AG would have been authorised to issue a statement in November 2018. The application was upheld and consequently Mr Plaggemars was dismissed as a member of the supervisory board of Biofrontera AG in March 2019. In August 2024 Mr. Plaggemars was reappointed as a Supervisory Board Member of Biofrontera AG.

On 5 September 2018, Mr. Plaggemars was appointed to the management board of Snowbird AG following which a review was undertaken by the management board of the economic situation of the company, in particular the assets and liabilities of the company. The management board determined that the company was insolvent and over-indebted and therefore filed for insolvency on 10 October 2018. The insolvency proceedings were opened by court order on 1 January 2019. The aim was to save the company by implementing an insolvency plan, but due to a major creditor voting against the insolvency plan, it could not be implemented and the company is currently being wound up by the insolvency administrator.

Mr. Plaggemars was appointed to the management board of Decheng Technology AG on 10 April 2019 with effect of 2 May 2019, following which a review was undertaken by the management board of the economic situation of the company, in particular the assets and liabilities of the company. The management board determined that the company was insolvent and over-indebted and therefore filed for insolvency on 27 May 2019. The insolvency proceedings were opened by court order on 10 October 2019. The aim is to rescue the company by implementing an insolvency plan, which has been approved by the creditor committee on 14 October 2020 but is still subject to certain conditions.

Mr. Plaggemars was appointed non-executive director of Wiluna Mining Corporation, an Australian incorporated gold producing company listed on the ASX listed, in July 2021. Following a change of management and a review of the company's financial position, the board identified a significant funding deficit and made the decision to put the company into voluntary administration. The company is currently still in administration.

Mr. Plaggemars indirectly holds 6,667 Ordinary Shares, equating to approximately 0.04 per cent. of the Company's enlarged issued share capital on Admission, but no options or warrants over Ordinary Shares. There is no further information regarding Mr. Plaggemars that is required to be disclosed under the AIM Rules
