...These are the targets they've set themselves two days ago to get their significant options payouts - one third at 1.4p, one third at 2.0p and final third at 2.5p.

These are set multiples higher than the current share price but they clearly believe they will be achieved. Thus this is the time to be accumulating as much stock as you can at these artificially low levels imo...

Dr Arron Tolley, Chief Executive Officer of Aptamer Group, commented: "This share option package forms part of our long-term incentive plan designed to reward staff and management for delivering significant value to the majority of our shareholders. The Group has set aggressive share price targets, which I am confident we can achieve given the calibre of customers we are dealing with and the progress we have made on a number of opportunities reported on recently, both commercially and scientifically. I am excited by the rapid progress the team are making; their focus and the quality of their work is paving the way for great things to come. Our platform technology is gaining increasing traction in the marketplace, and we are well positioned, with a skilful and knowledgeable team and our newly appointed Scientific Advisory board, to be able to take advantage of this."

Alzheimer's Test.

Two revenue streams - at home lateral flow test strips. and Clinical device.

APTA Aptamers have been validated - They work and will detect Alzheimer's twenty years before symptoms appear!

FDA awarded ROCHE the first and only early detection test this year but this requires blood test.

APTA are closer than anyone to produce a simple saliva based early detection test.

Alzheimer's test market will grow to 7bn per year. APTA could be a major early mover in this market.

And that's just one of APTA's multiple pipelines.

Let’s hope they are more relevant than the Oct 23 similar announcement

“The new options will have an exercise price of 1p, which is equal to the price at which the Company's fundraise was completed in July/August of this year.

The new options will be subject to stretching performance targets as follows:

(i) 16 per cent, on announcement of FY24 audited results in line with expectations and the share price having remained at or above 4 times the issue price for at least 3 months;

(ii) 24 per cent, on announcement of FY25 audited results in line with expectations and the share price having remained at or above 7 times the issue price for at least 3 months;

(iii) 40 per cent, on announcement of FY26 audited results in line with expectations and the share price having remained at or above 10 times the issue price for at least 3 months;

(iv) 10 per cent, on announcement of FY26 audited results in line with expectations and the share price having remained at or above 30 times the issue price for at least 3 months; and

(v) 10 per cent, on announcement of FY26 audited results in line with expectations and the share price having remained at or above 50 times the issue price for at least 3 months.”

Now cancelled.
By the way, anybody found any RNS saying y.e 30/6/25 revenue will be higher than £1.2m?

9/10/23 options RNS
“The proposed options are designed to provide a material incentive to the Directors and other staff, but on stretching revenue and share price performance criteria as set out below, which include achieving returns of at least 4-times and up to 50-times the 1p option exercise price. 60% of the options only vest if the prevailing share price reaches 10-times the option exercise price.”

And

“Dr Arron Tolley has agreed to the cancellation of 700,000 existing options with an exercise price of 7.675p each and Dr David Bunka has agreed to the cancellation of 32,600 and 61,400 existing options with exercise prices of 15.54p and 7.675p each respectively.”

I think they can copy and paste the paragraph sny number of times in the future.

For the record, have you looked at my record for calling fund raises on companies and that have gone on to do them?
Polx, Gdr, sce, Avacta, dest, vrs etc to name a few, it's the nature of small companies. Once they are funded to a point they achieve break even then it's different but until that point dillution will keep happening.The key is timing it right.

As for todays question yes I fully believe they will have to raise funds here in the near future. Cash burn was due to run out next month before the recent deals, however that might extend it slightly longer depending on their forecast model v cash burn.
Those deals will not be received in full upfront but spread out over the duration of the deal,common practice.
Revenues aren't enough to break even so they have been burning cash personally I think they are very close to needing to raise money in the next few months.

As I posted above the comments in the trading updates were mentioned in the first but not the second.

As for the fund raise it's going to be quite painful with a mkt cap of 3m trying to raise say 2m is going to require a significant discount to the current share price

There's also a chance they go private which would not be good news so I would wait to until funding is sorted if your looking to buy in here.

There is a small chnace they could get funding another way but this is unlikely and why it usually ends up being a rights issue, shareholders tend to hope this is an option but in relaity it rarely is and ends up with a dillutive raise.”

Next day……huge discount placing at 65% discount. The question is….has anything actually changed?

Aptamer Group plc("Aptamer", the "Company" or the "Group")Agreement to explore Optimer vehicles for targeted delivery of siRNA- New collaboration will evaluate Aptamer's fibrotic liver delivery vehicles with siRNA Aptamer Group plc (AIM: APTA), the developer of novel Optimer® binders to enable innovation in the life sciences industry, is pleased to announce a new agreement with AstraZeneca, a global biopharmaceutical company, to evaluate the Optimer fibrotic liver delivery vehicles for the targeted delivery of siRNA. Following the encouraging results achieved to-date with Aptamer's fibrotic liver delivery vehicles, the next phase of this research will explore the potential of the non-viral delivery vehicle and its applicability with a tool siRNA. Under the agreement, AstraZeneca will provide an siRNA to be trialled with Aptamer's Optimer-based delivery vehicle for fibrotic liver cells. Aptamer Group will conduct in-house experimental work to assess the effectiveness of this delivery vehicle with the AstraZeneca's siRNA. Upon success, Aptamer Group will progress to internally generating demonstrator data in animal models for evaluation by AstraZeneca. Delivery of siRNA to precise cell types and tissues with successful cell internalisation remains a significant challenge for the wider therapeutic application of the technology. Despite this limitation, the siRNA market was still valued at over $13 billion in 2023. Optimer technology could represent a paradigm shift in the targeted delivery of siRNA molecules, due to the high levels of selectivity, high affinity and simple conjugation of siRNA payloads, offered using Optimer delivery systems as non-viral vectors. If successful Optimer-enabled delivery of siRNA could lead to the development of novel compounds that have significant advantages over current cell and tissue-targeting methods. Dr Arron Tolley, Chief Technical Officer of Aptamer Group, said: "We are really excited to work with AstraZeneca to evaluate and optimise our Optimer delivery vehicles."Partnerships such as this will enable Aptamer Group to make rapid progress in this area, which is a key focus for Optimer technology. Targeted delivery to specific cell types remains a critical unmet need in many applications within the tissue targeting space and, as such, has been part of our strategic focus to support the development of binders with the potential for long-term, high value. Our initial dataset in Optimer targeted delivery has raised significant interest from multiple parties. We are eager to advance to animal model testing and delighted to continue collaborating with AstraZeneca in this endeavour. Reaching proof of principle in animal models will derisk the Optimer delivery platform and bring us closer to delivering targeted and effective gene therapies for patients."

Aptamer Group Announces New Contracts Worth £235,000 for Optimer Development

- Contract with top five pharma partner for IHC reagents

- Contract to develop Optimer for life science kits with royalty-bearing licence upon commercialisation

Aptamer Group plc (AIM: APTA), the developer of novel Optimer® binders to enable innovation in the life sciences industry, is pleased to announce the signing of two significant contracts for the development of Optimer binders, with a combined total value of up to £235,000.

The first contract, valued at up to £175,000, is with a top five pharmaceutical company. As part of this contract, Aptamer will develop Optimer binders for use in immunohistochemistry (IHC) applications. There is potential for the Optimer binders to utilise the Company's recently patented Optimer-Fc platform to deliver advanced IHC reagents for improved performance and use in automated IHC workflows. Following development, the binders could be integrated into companion diagnostics or as critical reagents to support the top five partner's drug development pipeline, resulting in downstream royalties and/or licencing revenues for Aptamer. This agreement represents the sixth contract with this pharmaceutical partner for Optimer development across multiple applications, highlighting its confidence in the Optimer platform.

The second contract, valued at up to £60,000, is with a global provider of specialty enzymes used widely throughout the life sciences sector, in a $9.9bn market, growing at 8.6% CAGR. Aptamer will develop Optimer binders as novel reagents to be incorporated into the partner's life science and diagnostic assay kits. Through a non-exclusive licence for the developed Optimer, Aptamer Group will earn milestone payments upon successful commercialisation and downstream high single digit royalties from the gross sales of all kits containing the developed Optimer. Sales could commence as early as 2025.

Dr Arron Tolley, Chief Technical Officer of Aptamer Group, said: "The repeat business from another of our top-five pharma partner validates the power of the Optimer platform to solve intractable problems associated with traditional ligands like antibodies in the area of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and supports our new business and patenting strategy. These smaller royalty bearing agreements to develop Optimer binders aligns with our business model to develop a diversified pipeline of technologies to deliver licence agreements across the life science sector. Unfortunately, due to confidentiality we cannot disclose the name of the partner or any other terms of the deal.

Over the past year, the new management team has successfully rebuilt the sales pipeline, and refocused the business to its pre-IPO model which continues to convert to signed deals - with opportunities to generate passive income through licensing and royalty-based deals. I look forward to updating the market on continuing commercial progress and on the continued development of our key assets in delivery vehicles for the Liver Fibrosis, binders for cosmetic applications with Unilever and our ongoing partnership with Neuro-Bio developing a diagnostic for Alzheimer's."
