On January 25, 2007, AngioDynamics, Inc. (“Angio”) and RITA Medical Systems, Inc. (“RITA”) disclosed that pursuant to the terms of their previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger and based on the average closing price of Angio common stock for the ten trading days ended on January 24, 2007, the third trading day prior to the RITA special meeting of stockholders, to be held January 29, 2007, at the effective time of the merger each share of RITA common stock would be convertible into the right to receive 0.1722 of a share of the common stock of Angio and $0.515 in cash.

The closing of the merger is scheduled to occur on or about January 29, 2007, subject to the approval of the merger by RITA stockholders and the approval of the issuance of shares as merger consideration by Angio stockholders.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document and its attachments include “forward-looking statements” intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements contain words such as “may,” “will,” “predict,” “project,” “might,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “intend,” “potential,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “estimate,” “seek,” “continue,” “pursue,” or “our future success depends,” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. In particular, they include statements relating to, among other things, future actions, strategies, future performance, future financial results of Angio and RITA and the proposed merger. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events.

Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve risks and uncertainties that cannot be predicted or quantified and, consequently, the actual performance or results of Angio and RITA may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following factors as well as other factors described from time to time in Angio’s and RITA’s reports filed with the SEC, including the Angio 2006 10-K and RITA’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005; financial community and rating agency perceptions of Angio and RITA; the effects of economic, credit and capital market conditions on the economy in general, and on medical device companies in particular; the ability to timely and cost-effectively integrate RITA into Angio’s operations; domestic and foreign health care reforms and governmental laws and regulations; third-party relations and approvals, technological advances and patents attained by competitors; and challenges inherent in new product development, including obtaining regulatory approvals.

Any forward-looking statements are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made. Angio and RITA disclaim any obligation to update the forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date stated, or if no date is stated, as of the date of this document.
