Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 16, 2006, The Spectranetics Corporation (“Spectranetics”) entered into a catheter development agreement with Bioscan Technologies, Ltd., a privately held company in Israel (“Bioscan”). Spectranetics will fund research as to the feasibility of combining Bioscan’s optical imaging technology with Spectranetics’s fiber-optic laser catheters. The initial phase of the agreement will determine feasibility and, if feasibility is proven, product development activities will commence.
In exchange for funding the feasibility and product development efforts and the payment of royalties and other costs associated with key milestones defined in the agreement, Spectranetics will receive an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide license to Bioscan’s intellectual property held currently and developed during the course of the collaboration for use within the field of atherectomy.
