SUDA LTD (ASX: SUD), a global leader in oro-mucosal drug delivery, advises that it has successfully raised $1.5 million via an oversubscribed placement of 75 million fully paid ordinary shares at a price of $0.02 per share. The Placement shares will be issued in a single tranche under the Company’s 15% placement capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The funds raised pursuant to the Placement will be used as follows:

• To commercialise and further develop the Company’s OroMist® drug delivery technology and its pipeline of novel oral sprays, including the advanced development-stage products ZolpiMist™ for treatment of insomnia;
• To conduct a proof-of-concept clinical trial of the Company’s new-generation SUD-003 sildenafil oral spray for erectile dysfunction, comparing SUD-003 to ViagraÒ tablets; and
• To provide additional working capital and strengthen the Company’s balance sheet as it negotiates with prospective partners.

SUDA LTD’s Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Carter, said: “We are delighted by the level of support we received for the Placement which strengthens our balance sheet and provides us with the capital to continue to build value in our portfolio of first-in-class oral sprays and to accelerate the commercialisation process for our key products. Our stronger balance sheet is also of significant strategic value as we advance our negotiations with the pharmaceutical industry.” RM Corporate Finance acted as Lead Manager and Underwriter to the Placement.
