NuCana plc announces ADS ratio change
On August 1, 2025, NuCana plc (the “Company”) announced that the Company will implement the Company’s previously disclosed plans to change
the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its ordinary shares from one (1) ADS, representing twenty-five (25) ordinary shares, to one (1) ADS, representing five thousand (5,000) ordinary shares (the “ADS
Ratio”).
For the Company’s ADS holders, the change in the ADS ratio has the same effect as a one-for-two-hundred reverse ADS split and has no impact on an ADS holder’s proportional equity interest in the Company.
As previously disclosed, the ratio change was expected to become effective with respect to the ADS trading price on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening
of trading on August 8, 2025. The effective date has been adjusted, and the ratio change will now take effect at the opening of trading on August 11, 2025.
Further information is set out in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and which is incorporated by reference herein.
The information contained in this Form 6-K is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s Registration
Statement on Form F-3, as amended (File No. 333-281576), Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-223476) and Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-248135).
