Tissue Regenix Group plc
Update in relation to working capital position and impact of
COVID-19 pandemic
Leeds, 30 March 2020 - Tissue Regenix Group (AIM:TRX) ("Tissue
Regenix" or the "Company") the regenerative medical devices
company, today provides an update in relation to its working
capital position and an initial assessment of the impact to its
business following the outbreak of COVID-19.
Following the trading update announced on 22 January 2020,
Tissue Regenix has successfully implemented various cost control
measures, resulting in the Board's belief that the Company's
available cash runway will now continue to support its working
capital requirements until at least the end of the second week of
May 2020.
As previously announced, the Board is endeavouring to secure
necessary funding for the Company. The Board is encouraged by a
number of ongoing discussions with potential investors which the
Board is working to conclude in the near future. However, there is
no guarantee that any such discussions will result in near-term
funding being made available to the Company. Should this funding
not be forthcoming before the Company's available cash runway
expires (not expected by the Board to be before the end of the
second week of May) then the Board will be required to take action
to protect the interests of creditors and which, if necessary, is
likely to result in a material reduction in any resulting value
attributable to shareholders.
COVID-19
During this pandemic, the Board's priority is to safeguard the
health and safety of the Group's employees and local communities,
as well as support and enforce government actions to slow the
spread of the virus. The Company has implemented UK and US
government-led policies in relation to the COVID-19 crisis and will
continue to monitor the evolving situation. Currently, the San
Antonio facility remains fully operational with no material impact
on processing. The facility is aligned with the recommendations
from the American Association of Tissue Banks regarding tissue
procurement guidelines and there continues to be no constraints on
supply of tissue. The re-prioritisation of health care
professionals has led to a slight decline in the number of elective
procedures undertaken, which has been most evident in
urogynaecology. However, demand for the Company's BioRinse(TM)
portfolio continues to exceed capacity. Consequently, the Company
currently has not experienced any material reduction in net
revenues versus expectations.
Further announcements will be made at the appropriate time.
