PLC SYSTEMS COMPLETES SALE OF TMR BUSINESS TO NOVADAQ

 

FRANKLIN, Mass., February 2, 2011 — PLC Systems Inc. (OTCBB: PLCSF), a company focused on innovative medical device-based technologies, today announced that it had completed the sale of  its Transmyocardial Revascularization (TMR) business to Novadaq Technologies Inc. (TSX: NDQ), a developer of real-time imaging systems for use in the operating room. Novadaq has been the exclusive United States distributor of PLC’s CO2 Heart Laser Systems and related kits for TMR since March 2007.

 

The sale, which was announced in November 2010, was approved by PLC’s shareholders at a special meeting on January 31, 2011, and closed effective February 1, 2011.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Novadaq acquired substantially all of PLC’s assets in the TMR business including manufacturing rights, product inventories, equipment, intellectual property, regulatory approvals, clinical data and all documentation related to TMR, for $1 million U.S. in cash, and the assumption of PLC’s obligations under service contracts valued at approximately $614,000. The proceeds of the sale will be reflected in PLC’s first quarter 2011 results.

 

Mark R. Tauscher, president and chief executive officer of PLC Systems Inc., stated, “We are very pleased to successfully complete the sale of our TMR business to Novadaq as planned. With this critical first step behind us, we are now ready to focus our resources on further developing our RenalGuard System™ operations, including continued efforts to raise additional funding to expand the RenalGuard business. We continue to believe that RenalGuard offers PLC a potentially lucrative future revenue stream, in addition to fulfilling an important unmet medical need, and we look forward to building upon the positive scientific data demonstrated in independent clinical trials.”
