Sale of Midatech Pharma US Inc. ("MTP US")
and Notice of General Meeting
It was announced on 27 September 2018
that the Company has entered into a stock purchase agreement dated 26 September 2018 ("Sale Agreement") with
Kanwa Holdings, LP ("Purchaser") a limited partnership owned by funds managed by or through Barings LLC ("Barings"),
for the sale by the Company of the entire common stock of Midatech Pharma US Inc. for an initial cash consideration of $13,000,000
and further cash consideration of up to $6,000,000 dependant on the sales performance of certain products of MTP US ("Sale").
In view of the size of the transaction,
under the AIM Rules the Sale is conditional on the approval of Shareholders at a General Meeting. A notice of the General Meeting
of the Company at which the Resolution is being proposed, for the purposes of Shareholders approving the Sale Agreement and the
Sale, is set out at the end of this document. Assuming the Resolution is passed at the General Meeting, the completion of the Sale
is anticipated to occur by 31 October 2018.
Subject to completion of the Sale, the
Continuing Group will remain focused on the Group's key pipeline of medicines for oncology and related therapeutic areas
which are currently in various stages of pre-clinical and clinical development ("Key Pipeline Products") including:
The purpose of this document
is to provide Shareholders with details of the Sale Agreement and the Sale together with its effect on the Group. Further, to
explain why your Board believes that the Sale is in the best interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole and to recommend
that you vote in favour of the Resolution to approve the Sale Agreement and the Sale at the General Meeting.
MTP US is the current US
commercial arm of the Group. MTP US was acquired by the Company on 7 December 2015 and since that date MTP US has focused on
commercialising oncology supportive care products in the US which help patients manage the impact of their cancer as well as
the side effects of their cancer therapy. MTP US offers patients a choice in therapeutic delivery mechanisms to enable
patients who might otherwise feel helpless in their fight against cancer to take back some measure of control and to fight
cancer's side effects on their own terms.
MTP US has acquired a portfolio
of products, including marketing rights in the United States, for:
Details of the current trading
of MTP US are set out in paragraph 4 of this Part 1 below.
In the Company's circular to Shareholders
dated 28 September 2017 in respect of the placing and open offer of new Midatech Shares which raised 6.2 million ("2017
Circular") it was stated that:
of the placing would not themselves provide the Company with sufficient working capital for its anticipated requirements over the
next twelve months".
In the 2017 Circular it
was also stated that the Board would continue to have discussions with third parties to assess the market value of certain of the
Company's assets in order to drive long term value for the Group without a reliance on equity funding where possible. Further,
the Board was determined to take action to ensure that the Company was not required to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue
the development or commercialisation of the Key Pipeline Products referred to in paragraph 1 above.
In the Company's report and
accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2017, the Board confirmed that until such time as the Group generates positive
net cash inflows from commercialisation of Key Pipeline Products it may be required to seek additional funding. The Board also
disclosed that it was continuing to evaluate options for further funding including by way of monetising assets of the Group.
In furtherance of this
strategy, the Company appointed a specialist life sciences advisory firm and initially sought buyers of MTP US on a confidential
