On October 4, 2016 Venn Life Sciences (AIM: VENN), a United Kingdom Contract Research Organisation providing drug development, clinical trial management and resourcing solutions to pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device clients, announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Venn Life Sciences Limited, has entered into a conditional agreement with Integumen under which it and Lynchwood Nominees Limited, as custodian for the Helium Rising Stars Fund would sell the entire issued share capital of Innovenn UK Limited ("Innovenn"), for a total consideration of up to £4.7 million.

The consideration for Innovenn has been agreed at £4,740,000, subject to adjustment depending on the level of Innovenn's current liabilities as at completion. Part of the consideration for the Sale will be settled by the assumption by Integumen of £146,032 of Innovenn's debt, with the balance of £4,593,968 being settled by the allotment of ordinary shares of £1.00 each in the capital of Integumen at par credited as fully paid. The Innovenn sale is subject to the approval of the shareholders of Venn

Innovenn was founded by Venn in 2014 as an innovation vehicle dedicated to the development and marketing of healthcare products and technologies. Innovenn acquired Labskin, a living skin model, and an anti-acne formulation and since acquisition has invested in the further development and commercialisation of these assets.

Integumen Limited was established on May 28, 2016 for the purpose of building a business in the area of Human Surface Science. Integumen plans to acquire the business of Innovenn, Enhance and complementary businesses in the areas of Skin Science, Oral-health and Wound-care. The acquisition of Innovenn and other businesses is to be completed by way of the issue of new shares in Integumen. Integumen plans to seek admission of its shares to trading on AIM and plans to raise capital to fund the future development and commercialisation of the technology portfolio. Integumen has appointed advisors in this regard. Prior to a potential listing and fundraise Integumen will fund its activities out of existing cash reserves and a bank loan facility for EUR 1m which Venn currently guarantees.

In addition to the acquisition of Innovenn, Integumen is in the process of acquiring three additional businesses. The first of these transactions is the acquisition of the Enhance business.

In addition to Innovenn and the Enhance asset purchase, Integumen has agreed terms to acquire a European based Oralhealth company. The purchase is to be by way of a purchase of shares and Integumen is targeting the completion of this transaction in the coming weeks. The target currently has an oral hygiene product in the market place with international distribution.

Finally, Integumen intends to complete the acquisition of a woundcare business with products in development in the areas of wound diagnostics and infection control. This acquisition is to be completed by way of a purchase of shares and Integumen expects to complete this transaction in the coming days.

On completion of the aforementioned transactions, Integumen would have a portfolio of intellectual property and products across four complementary healthcare sectors.

On completion of all four transactions Venn and Enhance would own approximately 30% and 24%, respectively, of the equity of the combined businesses, subject to any adjustments under the APA.

Although the Board understands that Integumen intends to enter into the above transactions there is no guarantee that all or any of these will be completed.
