Oversubscribed WRAP Offer, combines with Placing and Subscription, and Additional Subscription 

 

LONDON and NEW YORK, 26 September 2025 - Renalytix plc (LSE: RENX) (OTCQB: RNLXY), a precision medicine diagnostics company, with kidneyintelX.dkd, the only FDA-approved and Medicare reimbursed prognostic test to support early-stage risk assessment in chronic kidney disease, confirms, further to the announcements made on 22 September, the result of its Fundraise at the Issue Price of 9.5 pence per share. The Company announces that it has raised aggregate gross proceeds of approximately £0.8 million pursuant to a significantly oversubscribed WRAP Retail Offer, alongside the previously announced oversubscribed Placing, Subscription and Additional Subscription. Accordingly, the Company will issue a total of 8,421,052 new Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer (the "Retail Offer Shares").

 

In total, the Placing and Subscription, the Additional Subscription and the WRAP Retail Offer have raised gross proceeds of approximately £7.05 million ($9.5 million) for the Company, via the Placing and Subscription of 54,741,582 Placing and Subscription Shares, 11,000,000 Additional Subscription Shares and the 8,421,052 WRAP Retail Offer Shares.

 

James McCullough, CEO of Renalytix, commented: "I would like to thank our investors for a significantly oversubscribed fundraise at both the institutional and retail investor level, at a key moment in our commercial growth. We all have a real opportunity to change the course of diabetic kidney disease that causes untold suffering in millions of people and an unsustainable social cost burden.  Over the course of coming months we will be working closely with Tempus AI to expand access to kidneyintelX.dkd advanced prognostic blood testing in the US market, along with other developing market opportunities."
