SBTX 17.75p = / SkinBioTherapeutics signs exclusive commercial agreementwith Superdrug for AxisBiotix™ products in the UK
Placing and Subscription to raise £4.1m to support Superdrug agreement; Proposed Retail Offer to existing shareholders of up to £0.62m

AxisBiotix™-Ps Receives US National Psoriasis FoundationSeal of Recognition

16 June 2025 - SkinBioTherapeutics plc (AIM: SBTX), a life science group focused on skin health, announces that it has signed an exclusive UK commercial agreement with Superdrug Stores plc ("Superdrug") (the "Commercial Agreement"), one of the UK's leading beauty and health retailers, related to its AxisBiotix™ food supplements to alleviate the symptoms of inflammatory skin conditions.

In order to provide additional working capital to facilitate and support the Commercial Agreement and future formulation and packaging requirements, the Company has today raised £4.1m (gross) via a placing (the "Placing") and a subscription (the "Subscription") of 24,117,645 new ordinary shares of 1p (the "New Ordinary Shares") at 17 pence each (the "Issue Price"). The Issue Price represents no discount to the Company's closing bid-price on 13 June 2025 (being the last practicable day prior to the publication of this Announcement). The Placing is being made available to certain institutional investors, including Premier Miton. Under the terms of the Subscription David Brierwood (who currently holds 5.51% of the Company's ordinary shares) has subscribed for a total of £600,000 which equates to 3,529,411 New Ordinary Shares as part of the fundraising, at the Issue Price and at the same time as the Placing.

In addition, the Company is proposing a retail offer to all existing shareholders for up to 3,617,647 New Ordinary Shares at the Issue Price to raise up to an additional £615,000 (before expenses). Further details are set out below.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has been granted Seal of Recognition by the US National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) and inclusion in its approved product directory - a most important industry validation for commercial traction in the USA.

Superdrug agreement

Superdrug is one of the UK's leading beauty and health retailers. The Commercial Agreement is on an exclusive basis for the sale of both AxisBiotix-Ps and AxisBiotix-Ac in Superdrug's UK stores for two years. This will be the first time AxisBiotix for acne has been made commercially available. SkinBioTherapeutics retains the worldwide rights to direct online retail sales of both products via the AxisBiotix website and Amazon.

The initial roll-out of both AxisBiotix products will occur in early September 2025 in Superdrug stores, which typically have higher sales of medicated skincare relative to the rest of its group. A phased roll-out to the rest of Superdrug's UK store portfolio is scheduled to commence in Spring 2026.

Given the extremely short lead time for manufacture and delivery of both products to meet the stringent launch deadline, they will initially be sold in powder form. However, the longer term intention is to deliver a capsule and/or gum format. SkinBioTherapeutics will be working on these new formulations and looks to acquire additional capital equipment for encapsulation and blister-packaging to keep this work in-house.

Stuart Ashman, CEO of SkinBioTherapeutics said:

"The commercial agreement with Superdrug is a major milestone as we sign our first national high street agreement. We have been in discussions for a considerable period of time to determine the right way to promote, package and roll-out both of the AxisBiotix products. Importantly, we retain the worldwide rights to sell the products ourselves directly online and via Amazon, and remain in control over how our products are promoted. We have a very tight timeframe to produce and deliver the stock required for launch and to ensure that we have sufficient levels going forward to avoid a back-order position."

US National Psoriasis Foundation ("NPF")

SkinBioTherapeutics has also been in active dialogue for some time with the NPF, the leading non-profit organisation representing individuals with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis in the USA. The NPF has granted AxisBiotix-Ps Seal of Recognition and inclusion in its approved product directory Here.

According to the NPF, the Seal of Recognition "…highlights and recognizes products created or intended to be non-irritating and safe for those living with psoriatic disease. The directory specifically recognizes products that are safe as part of a daily skincare routine for sensitive skin or suitable for those with joint mobility limitations."

This official recognition is important industry validation of AxisBiotix™-Ps and opens up potential new markets for the product.

Placing and WRAP Retail Offer

In order to support the initial launch of AxisBiotix™ products with Superdrug this Autumn and to acquire the encapsulation and packaging equipment to support the development of a capsule format, the Board decided to undertake the Placing, thus allowing existing funds to continue to be deployed as envisaged in the other areas of the Group. The proceeds of the Placing will also be used for marketing purposes and to further raise brand awareness of AxisBiotix™.

In addition to the Placing and Subscription, the Company announces that there will be a separate retail offer to existing shareholders via the Winterflood Retail Access Platform ("WRAP") to raise up to £615,000 (before expenses) at the Issue Price (the "WRAP Retail Offer", and together with the Placing and the Subscription, the "Fundraising"). This represents 15% of the Placing and the Subscription and provides existing shareholders in the Company an opportunity to participate in the Fundraising.

Those investors who subscribe for new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer (the "WRAP Retail Offer Shares") will do so pursuant to the terms and conditions of the WRAP Retail Offer contained in a separate announcement to be released by the Company. The WRAP Retail Offer is subject to a minimum subscription of £100 per investor and will be open to existing shareholders of the Company within the United Kingdom. A separate announcement will be made by the Company regarding the WRAP Retail Offer and its terms in due course ("WRAP Retail Offer Announcement").

Those investors who subscribe for WRAP Retail Offer Shares pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer will do so pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the WRAP Retail Offer Announcement. The WRAP Retail Offer will be conditional on completion of the Placing but the Placing is not conditional upon completion of the WRAP Retail Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, the WRAP Retail Offer does not form part of the Placing.

The Placing, Subscription and the WRAP Retail Offer are being conducted using the existing authorities to issue and allot new ordinary shares for cash and disapply pre-emption rights, which the Directors were granted at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 27 December 2024.

It is expected that admission of the New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing and Subscription to trading on AIM ("Admission") will occur and that dealings will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 24 June 2025. These New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu with the Company's existing ordinary shares. The New Ordinary Shares are equivalent to approximately 9.34 per cent. of the Company's enlarged issued share capital (ignoring any New Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer).

In due course, an application will be made for any New Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the WRAP Retail Offer to be admitted to trading on AIM.

Total Voting Rights

Following Admission, the Company will have 258,192,272 Ordinary Shares in issue and no ordinary Shares in treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will be 258,192,272.

AI is disrupting the advertising business in a big way — industry leaders explain how - JUN 15 20251:41 Ryan Browne
AI disruption is “unnerving investors in every industry, and it’s totally disrupting our business,” WPP’s outgoing boss Mark Read told CNBC.

The advertising market is under threat from emerging generative AI tools that can be used to generate pieces of content at rapid pace.

The advertising industry is undergoing a “huge transformation” due to AI’s disruptive effects, according to Publicis Groupe CEO Maurice Levy.

Artificial intelligence is shaking up the advertising business and “unnerving” investors, one industry leader told CNBC.

“I think this AI disruption ... unnerving investors in every industry, and it’s totally disrupting our business,” Mark Read, the outgoing CEO of British advertising group WPP
, told CNBC’s Karen Tso on Tuesday.

The advertising market is under threat from emerging generative AI tools that can be used to materialize pieces of content at rapid pace. The past couple of years has seen the rise of a number of AI image generators, including OpenAI’s DALL-E, Google’s Veo and Midjourney.

In his first interview since announcing he would step down as WPP boss, Read said that AI is “going to totally revolutionize our business.”

“AI is going to make all the world’s expertise available to everybody at extremely low cost,” he said at London Tech Week. “The best lawyer, the best psychologist, the best radiologist, the best accountant, and indeed, the best advertising creatives and marketing people often will be an AI, you know, will be driven by AI.”

Read said that 50,000 WPP employees now use WPP Open, the company’s own AI-powered marketing platform.

MARKET REPORT
LONDON MARKET OPEN: Stocks rise, Middle East remains volatile

(Alliance News) - Stock prices in London opened higher on Monday in London, ahead of a busy week for interest rate decisions.

The US Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England are all expected to hold rates steady at their respective meetings on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Swissquote's Ipek Ozkardeskaya said.

In the BoE's case, this is "despite growing concerns over the UK's fiscal path".

And US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee said an embassy building in Tel Aviv sustained minor damage from a nearby Iranian missile strike, reporting no injuries to US personnel.

AFP images showed gutted buildings in the coastal hub of Tel Aviv, after Israel's army warned people to take cover from incoming Iranian missiles. Huckabee said on X. He said the US embassy in Jerusalem would remain closed on Monday as orders to "shelter in place [are] still in effect".

The FTSE 100 index opened up 15.07 points, 0.2%, at 8,865.70. The FTSE 250 was up 35.67 points, 0.2%, at 21,209.00, and the AIM All-Share was up 1.00 points, 0.1%, at 762.43.

The Cboe UK 100 was up 0.3% at 883.84, the Cboe UK 250 was up 0.3% at 18,711.66, and the Cboe Small Companies was up slightly at 17,083.36.

On the FTSE 100, Entain jumped 7.0% after upgrading annual revenue and Ebitda guidance for its BetMGM business.

Glencore rose 1.4%. The miner confirmed that all regulatory closing conditions have been satisfied for the cash-and-share sale of its interest in Viterra to Bunge, which Glencore expects will close next month.

On the FTSE 250, Assura was 0.1% higher.

It noted Primary Health Properties' announcement on Friday revising the terms of its cash-and-share takeover offer. It said its board is reviewing the changes "and will continue to engage in extensive shareholder consultation". PHP was up 0.1%.

In smaller caps, Costain jumped 8.1%.

The construction and engineering firm announced its intention to launch a GBP10 million buyback programme, and confirmed that trading remains in line with the board's expectations for 2025.

In European equities on Monday, the CAC 40 in Paris was up 0.3%, while the DAX 40 in Frankfurt was up 0.3%.

The pound was quoted at USD1.3585 early on Monday in London, lower compared to USD1.3591 at the equities close on Friday. The euro stood at USD1.1579, higher against USD1.1560. Against the yen, the dollar was trading higher at JPY144.25 compared to JPY144.01.

In Asia on Monday, the Nikkei 225 index in Tokyo was up 1.3%. In China, the Shanghai Composite was up 0.4%, while the Hang Seng index in Hong Kong was up 0.7%. The S&P/ASX 200 in Sydney closed marginally higher.

In the US on Friday, Wall Street ended lower, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 1.8%, the S&P 500 down 1.1% and the Nasdaq Composite down 1.3%.

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury was quoted at 4.46%, widening from 4.42%. The yield on the US 30-year Treasury was quoted at 4.95%, widening from 4.90%.

Brent oil was quoted higher at USD74.76 a barrel early in London on Monday from USD73.61 late Friday.

"Some analysts argue that escalating conflict could ultimately dampen global growth and cap oil's upside," Ozkardeskaya said. "Others believe rising prices could encourage shale producers to boost output. Realistically, the risk of disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz – a critical chokepoint for a third of global oil flows – means the balance of risks remains tilted to the upside.

"Many experts warn that current tensions between Israel and Iran look more serious than in recent years, and that a broader conflict could send oil prices north of USD100 per barrel."

Gold was quoted lower at USD3.413.90 an ounce against USD3,427.50.

Still to come on Monday's economic calendar, the New York State manufacturing index is due in the afternoon.

Managing Director, Shaun Day, commented:

"The exceptional demand received for the Australian Offering is testament to the quality and opportunity of Greatland's Telfer mine and world-class Havieron brownfield development project, and the significant progress already made by our team in successfully integrating, operating and optimising these assets since we acquired full ownership in December 2024.

The Australian Offering was strongly supported by existing shareholders and will also introduce a range of new, high-quality domestic and international investors to the register. The ASX is a natural listing venue for Greatland and we look forward to debuting on the exchange as a leading new Australian gold-copper producer.

On behalf of the Greatland Resources Board and management team, I would like to warmly welcome our new shareholders and thank all of our existing shareholders for their long-standing support. We look forward to now finalising the corporate reorganisation under Greatland Resources and commencement of trading on both the ASX and AIM.
