Liberum acts as Nomad and Joint Bookrunner on a £24.7m fundraising for Ilika Plc

The net proceeds of the fundraise will be used to accelerate the development of the Company’s solid-state electric vehicle pouch cells through its Goliath programme, including through targeting and exceeding lithium ion battery equivalence, to fund a tenfold increase in the capacity of the Goliath pre-pilot line, from 1 kWh to 10kWh per week, and for general working capital purposes.

The Joint Bookrunners delivered significant and high-quality demand with the Placing, Retail Offer and Open Offer all being fully subscribed.
