NetScientific PLC (AIM:NSCI), the investment and commercialisation group, has appointed experienced City lawyer Ed Hooper as general counsel to work on the company’s growth strategy.
Hooper was previously a partner at international law firm, Trowers & Hamlins LLP, where he led and developed the firm's corporate finance team in London. He has 20 years' experience as a lawyer in the City, specialising in advising on a broad range of corporate transactions, including fundraisings, mergers & acquisitions, flotations, joint ventures and restructurings.
Ondine Biomedical Inc (AIM:OBI) said it has put a solid foundation for the future after a year of significant progress, the highlight of which was the company’s listing in London.
The group raised US$37.7mln from the IPO – cash that will be used to take its patented nasal photodisinfection technology through the clinical trial process.
Chariot Ltd (AIM:CHAR, OTC:OIGLF) has conditionally raised US$25.5mln (£20.4mln) through a placing and subscription to push on with its Anchois gas development and renewable power pipeline.
After announcing the proposed fundraising late on Wednesday, as well as a further US$4mln as part of an open offer, the Africa-focused energy company confirmed on Thursday that the bookbuild for the placing and subscription had completed at more than the planned US$20mln.
