UK biotechnology firm re-enters equity markets

PPL Therapeutics, the Scottish biotechnology company that cloned Dolly the sheep, is returning to the equity markets after pulling a secondary offer in March.

Deutsche Bank, the company's broker, was slated to lead PPL's original offer, aiming to raise between £40m and £45m (€64m and €72m) in an open offer and international placing in Europe and the US. The company said in a statement the offer was pulled &quotdue to prevailing uncertain worldwide stock market conditions and some misplaced fears over the risk due to the group from the foot and mouth disease outbreak.&quot
