Mike Kirk, Chairman of Quadrise, commented:

"We are delighted to have received such overwhelming support for the Open Offer, with it being 3.4 times subscribed. We would like to thank our loyal, long-term shareholders who have supported the Company for many years. It was particularly gratifying that this fabulous response from our existing shareholders followed the successful Placing which resulted in significant new institutional investors being welcomed onto our register as the Company enters an exciting new phase. Having demonstrated positive momentum in a number of key project areas, the funding provided by the Open Offer and Placing positions us favourably to capitalise on the exciting opportunities ahead for MSAR (R) and our new renewable fuel, bioMSAR (TM). We look forward to providing updates on project progress, as appropriate, in due course" .
