BEDMINSTER, N.J., March 4, 2015 — CorMedix Inc. (NYSE MKT: CRMD), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of cardiac, renal and infectious diseases, today announced several strategic business updates.
CorMedix Engages Evercore as Financial Advisor to Explore Strategic Alternatives
CorMedix announced today that it has retained investment bank Evercore as financial advisor to explore strategic alternatives, in order to accelerate the global development of Neutrolin® Catheter Lock Solution and maximize shareholder value.
“Based on our ongoing belief in the value and clinical potential of Neutrolin® as an important product to address a significant medical need, the CorMedix Board and management has retained Evercore to evaluate and identify strategic alternatives aimed to accelerate the product’s global development and commercialization,” said Randy Milby, CorMedix Chief Executive Officer. “We believe Evercore’s premier reputation, track record, and industry expertise will help us to maximize the value of Neutrolin® more efficiently.”
Neutrolin® is a novel formulation of taurolidine, citrate and heparin 1000 u/ml that provides a combination preventative solution, decreases the triple threat of infection, thrombosis and biofilm to keep catheters operating safely and efficiently by optimizing catheter blood flow while minimizing infections and biofilm formation for oncology, hemodialysis, and intensive care patients. Neutrolin® has CE mark approval for use in the European Union and was recently approved to enter a Phase 3 program in the United States. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated Neutrolin®, as a Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP), which provides an additional five years of market exclusivity in addition to the five years granted for a New Chemical Entity under Hatch-Waxman patent exclusivity.
CorMedix Extends Expiration Date for Certain Warrants; Elliott Management Provides Backstop Financing Commitment
CorMedix is extending to April 30, 2015 the expiration date for certain of its warrants for which the resale of the common stock underlying the warrants has not yet been registered. The extension is to allow the company time to register the resale of the underlying shares. These warrants were issued to pre-IPO bridge investors in 2010. In addition, CorMedix announced that Elliott Management has extended to the company a financing commitment to serve as a back stop in the event these warrants are not exercised; CorMedix also agreed it will amend certain warrants held by Elliott and issue 200,000 additional warrants at an exercise price of $7.00. Additionally, CorMedix granted Elliott the right to appoint two incremental board members.
CorMedix Notified of Compliance with NYSE MKT Listing Requirements
On Monday, March 2, 2015, the NYSE MKT notified CorMedix that the company has regained compliance with the NYSE MKT listing requirements since the Company as of February 26, 2015 qualified for the market capitalization exception in Section 1003(a) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide.
