Ashington Innovation plc

("Ashington" or "the Company") 

Update on Cell Therapy Ltd and Calon Cardio-Technology Ltd Discussions

Change of Broker

Ashington Innovation plc (LSE: ASHI; FSE: 6FW), a special purpose acquisition company, announces that further to the announcement of August 24, the Company continues to pursue negotiations to acquire Cell Therapy Limited ('Cell Therapy') and Calon Cardio-Technology Limited ('Calon') in accordance with the signed heads of terms.

By way of clarification, the proposed acquisition of Calon is dependent on a successful close of the Cell Therapy transaction. However, the proposed acquisition of Cell Therapy is not dependent on an acquisition of Calon.

Ashington can confirm that discussions have continued between the parties and that the Company is continuing its formal due diligence process. As no binding agreement has yet been reached, the Company cannot guarantee that either proposed acquisition will complete. 

Ashington also announces that following a breach of confidentiality by its broker, SI Capital, the appointment of SI Capital has been terminated and the Company is seeking to appoint a new sole broker experienced in the transactions being considered which is in line with its broader strategy to create a material regenerative medicine group.

The Company will provide further updates as and when appropriate.
