IGI SIGNS A NEW AGREEMENT WITH DERMWORX INCORPORATED

 

Buena, N.J. - August 28, 2007 - IGI, Inc. (AMEX:IG) announced that it has signed a new Exclusivity, Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with Dermworx, Incorporated. This agreement supersedes and replaces the earlier agreement, dated October 11, 2006, between Dermworx and IGI.

 

As per the new Agreement, IGI will recognize the $250,000 payment received from Dermworx in 2006 for the development of a 2% Salicylic Acid Novasome® product. IGI will receive manufacturing revenues and royalties on sales of this product starting in the fourth quarter of 2007. Under this Agreement, IGI will grant Dermworx the exclusive rights to market and sell the Salicylic Acid Novasome® product in North, Central and South America, and the United Kingdom. To maintain exclusivity, Dermworx will guarantee IGI minimum royalties for the first year of the product sale period. This will be increased to 150% for the second year sale period and minimum royalty payments will remain the same each year thereafter.

 

IGI has also granted Dermworx a right of first refusal, effective until January 31, 2008, for the development of two (2) additional Salicylic Acid Novasome® formulations, one for the treatment of Psoriasis and another for the treatment of Seborrheic Dermatitis.

 

"This new agreement provides a solid foundation for the growth of both of our companies", stated Rajiv Mathur, President and CEO of IGI, Inc.
