[{"type":"text","content":"\n RNS Number : 9915N Provexis PLC 22 June 2010 \n \n\n22 June 2010\nProvexis plc (\"Provexis\" or the \"Company\")\n \nDraw Down of Funds and Issue of Equity\n \n \nProvexis plc (PXS.L), which focuses on the discovery, development and licensing of scientifically-proven functional food, medical food and dietary supplement technologies, has raised net proceeds of £88,869 by drawing down on its Equity Financing Facility (\"EFF\") with Evolution Securities Limited (\"ESL\"). The EFF agreement was arranged by Darwin Strategic Limited (\"Darwin\") and was announced by Provexis on 31 March 2010.
