Result of Open Offer General Meeting & Total Voting Rights

12 November 2018

On 19 October 2018 Futura Medical plc (AIM: FUM) (the "Company), a pharmaceutical company developing a portfolio of innovative products for sexual health and pain relief, announced that it had conditionally raised c. £5.6 million in aggregate before fees and expenses through a successful Placing, Subscription and PrimaryBid Offer with certain existing and new institutional and other investors at the Placing Price of 7 pence per share. The Company today announces that it has conditionally raised further additional gross proceeds of £0.25 million in aggregate from the Open Offer.

The Company is also pleased to announce that at the General Meeting held today, all Resolutions proposed were duly passed. The Fundraising remains conditional on, inter alia, Admission.

The Open Offer closed for acceptances at 11.00 a.m. on 9 November 2018. Valid acceptances have been received in respect of 3,577,437 Open Offer Shares. All valid applications under the Open Offer will accordingly be satisfied in full. Accordingly, the Open Offer has conditionally raised gross proceeds of c. £0.25 million, and the Company has therefore conditionally raised total gross proceeds of £5.85 million from the Fundraising and will issue a total of 83,577,437 new Ordinary Shares in connection with the fundraise (the "Fundraising Shares").

Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for the Fundraising Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that Admission will become effective, and that dealings in the Fundraising Shares will commence, at 8.00 a.m. on 13 November 2018.

For the purposes of the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules (DTR), the Company's total voting rights as from the date of Admission will be 204,583,439 Ordinary Shares.

Since the Company currently holds no shares in treasury, the total number of voting rights in the Company is 204,583,439 and this figure may therefore be used by shareholders 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 DTR.

This announcement should be read in conjunction with the full text of the circular dated 24 October 2018, published in connection with the Fundraising.
