Nephros and Bellco Extend and Expand License Agreement

RIVER EDGE, NJ, February 25, 2014 /PR Newswire-FirstCall/ -- Nephros, Inc. (OTCQB:NEPH), a commercial stage medical device company that develops and sells high performance liquid purification ultrafilters and Bellco S.r.l., an Italy-based company focused on Dialysis and Extracorporeal Blood Purification, announced today that the companies have signed an amendment to their existing license agreement.

The amendment extends the agreement by five years through 2021 and expands the territories covered by Bellco to include Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Korea, Mexico, Brazil, China and the Netherlands and grants Bellco a right of first offer in connection with a proposed sale of the Nephros patent licensed to Bellco under the agreement. In return Nephros will receive €450,000, half payable upon execution and half payable on March 31^st, 2014. Nephros has also agreed to reduce the fixed royalty payment in return for a corresponding increase in the minimum sales volumes required to retain exclusivity. The royalty period begins on January 1, 2015 and extends through December 31, 2021.

“We are excited to strengthen our partnership with Nephros,” said Carlo Medici, Chief Executive Officer of Bellco S.r.l. “This agreement is a pivotal milestone in the continued expansion of hemodiafiltration (HDF) therapy based on mid-dilution with the MD220 dialyzer. Recent studies have confirmed the reduction of patient mortality of on-line HDF compared with standard treatments. We are convinced that this expanded agreement will enhance Bellco’s ability to provide the highest range of hemodiafiltration therapies in the world.”

“Bellco has extensive experience and expertise providing therapies and systems for the treatment of renal failure, in particular on-line HDF. We are very pleased about the prospect of the MD220 dialyzer being made available to an expanded group of territories which will enable more patients to benefit from on-line mid-dilution HDF,” said John C. Houghton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nephros.

About Nephros, Inc.

Nephros is a commercial stage medical device company that develops and sells high performance liquid purification filters. Our filters, which we call ultrafilters, are primarily used in dialysis centers for the removal of biological contaminants from water, bicarbonate concentrate and/or blood.

We were founded in 1997 by healthcare professionals affiliated with Columbia University Medical Center/New York-Presbyterian Hospital to develop and commercialize an alternative method to hemodialysis (HD). In 2009, we began to extend our filtration technologies to meet the demand for liquid purification in other areas, in particular water purification.

Presently, we offer ultrafilters for sale to customers in four markets:

· Dialysis Centers - Water/Bicarbonate: Filtration of water or bicarbonate concentrate used in hemodialysis devices

· Dialysis Centers - Blood: Clearance of toxins from blood using an alternative method to HD in patients with chronic renal failure

· Hospitals and Other Commercial Facilities: Filtration of water for drinking and washing

· Military and Outdoor Recreation: Highly compact, individual water purification devices used by soldiers to produce drinking water in the field
