Richard Reed, Chairman of Agronomics, commented: -

"Our assets have continued to perform well and the broader developments across our holdings in the period have further strengthened our position as the largest listed company focused on the field of cellular agriculture. Large and well-known institutional investors have begun investing in our portfolio companies, with this being a positive for both the Company and the wider industry as a whole.

We continue to believe that there is significant intrinsic value not yet reflected in our financial accounts which will be recognised as our portfolio companies complete further priced funding rounds."
