FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Update on PrIME LOI Funding
Sydney, Australia 29[th] July 2013–NuSep (ASX:NSP). NuSep wishes to update the market on the progress with the LOI to fund its Singapore plasma fraction business, PrIME Biologics.
On 3[rd] June 2013 NuSep advised the market that it had signed a Letter of Intent ( LOI ) with a significant Asian Life Sciences Fund. This significant Asian Life Science fund is currently conducting its due diligence on the PrIME Biologics project.
The LOI was signed by NuSep’s Singapore subsidiary PrIME Biologics Pte Ltd. PrIME Biologics aims to raise up to S$20M by bringing a consortium of funds together. It is expected that only part of this raise will come from this significant Asian Life Sciences Fund and the balance will come from a number of funders who have already been approached by NuSep/PrIME. NuSep will keep the market informed as it progresses through this funding process.
