Cambridge, UK - 29 March 2018: Feedback plc ("Feedback" or the "Company") (AIM: FDBK), the specialist medical imaging technology company, is pleased to announce it has raised, in aggregate, GBP440,000 before expenses through a subscription and placing of, in aggregate, 35,200,000 new ordinary shares of 0.25 pence each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") at a price of 1.25 pence per share (the "Issue Price") (the "Fundraising").
