Application has been made for the 5,848,620 new ordinary shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares of the Company, to be admitted to AIM, which is expected to occur on or around 8.00 a.m. on 26 July 2024 ("Admission"). Upon Admission, the total number of issued shares and the total number of voting rights in the Company will be 211,210,526.

Existing investors and a new, undisclosed institutional investor have agreed to purchase the shares directly from Macquarie Bank.

The above figure of 211,210,526 should 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 Guidance and Transparency Rules.

Stuart Ashman, CEO of SkinBioTherapeutics, said:

"We are pleased that the CLN has now come to an end. Having listened to shareholder sentiment, we made the decision not to use the remainder of the facility. We have worked to reduce the initial loan note as swiftly as possible. Whilst the term of the note was designed to span two years, the entire facility has now been converted within six months of its introduction and therefore we have halted any further drawdowns. We are grateful for the support from existing investors and our new institutional investor, which has enabled us to clear the Convertible Bond facility completely."
