Roquefort Therapeutics plc
("Roquefort Therapeutics" or the "Company")
Response to Share Price Movement
Roquefort Therapeutics (LSE:ROQ, OTCQB:ROQAF), the Main Market listed biotech company focused on developing first in class medicines in the high value and high growth oncology market, notes recent bulletin board speculation about a placing that the Company may be undertaking.
The Company recently engaged its advisers to commence a process of market soundings in relation to a potential fundraise. However, in response to incorrect bulletin board comments regarding a speculative placing price and resulting unusual share price movements, the Board has decided to not proceed with any potential placing at this time.
As previously announced, Roquefort Therapeutics remains focused on completing an out-licensing agreement during the course of 2024 with potential Big Pharma partners and will update the market when a binding agreement is entered into.
