Clifford M. Gross Ph.D., Executive Chairman of Tekcapital plc commented:

"On the back of sterling financial performance in 2024, we are pleased to announce the completion of a follow-on raise, which will be allocated to assist Guident in onboarding additional sales support to help manage a large and growing pipeline of business opportunities and for additional working capital. We are actively assessing new GenAI investments, and the remaining proceeds from this fundraise will be allocated to broadening our exposure to the sector, should we identify suitable opportunities. We are bullish about our prospects and believe 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for the Company."
