Agronomics Limited (AIM:ANIC), the leading listed company focused on the field of cellular agriculture, announces that its unaudited Net Asset Valuation ("NAV") calculation as at closing on 31 March 2022 was 15.11 pence per share, including uninvested cash of GBP53.8 million. Net Assets stand at GBP141.8 million, including investments of GBP89.2 million. This quarter's NAV per share represents an increase of 5.5% from the previous quarter's NAV of 14.32 pence per share.

The share price of 19.2 pence at the 31 March 2022 close represents a premium of 27% to the NAV per share. The average premium to NAV per share over the last 12 month period was 137%. Under IFRS, the Company's unquoted investments are carried at cost or the most recent priced funding round.

Richard Reed, Chairman of Agronomics, commented: -

"It's been an excellent start to 2022 for Agronomics .Three new companies were added to the portfolio in this quarter: precision fermentation bio-design company Geltor, precision fermentation egg protein company Onego, and the UK-focused cultivated pet food company Good Dog Food - with the other portfolio companies continuing to show strong progress . Agronomics also led two deals at the Seed and Series A stages. The Board continues to see and monitor new opportunities in cellular agriculture, as well as maintaining cash reserves for follow-on investments in the existing portfolio. We are seeing continued developments from the underlying assets for significant valuation creation expected to occur in 2022.
