Advanced Oncotherapy (AIM: AVO), the developer of next-generation proton therapy systems for cancer treatment, announces that it has received a conversion notice for a portion of the convertible notes, which were issued to a French counterparty, as announced on 1 March 2023, into new ordinary shares of 25p each in the share capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). Further details of the conversion are set out below:

· Number of new Ordinary Shares issued from the conversion: 200,000
As set out in the Company's announcement on 1 March 2023, if the conversion price is below the nominal value of the Ordinary Shares, the Company shall pay the noteholder a conversion fee calculated to compensate for the difference, which may be settled through the issue of new Ordinary Shares or cash.

Therefore, the total number of Ordinary Shares in the Company with voting rights will be 542,573,869. This figure may 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 in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
