Biophan Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: BIPH), a developer of next-generation biomedical technology, has confirmed the receipt of $5.75 million in investments and licensing payments from medical device manufacturer Boston Scientific, called for under the Companies' recently announced equity and licensing agreements. The funds include payments for both licensing and equity investment provisions of the agreements. The terms of the agreements call for Boston Scientific to pay Biophan an upfront license fee of $750,000 for rights to a number of Biophan's patented technologies to improve medical devices. Boston Scientific also invested $5 million in the Company via the purchase of Biophan common stock, priced at a 10% premium over the average of the closing price for the 30 calendar-day period preceding but not including the funding date. The license agreement grants Boston Scientific licenses covering patents related to Biophan's Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) safety and image compatibility technologies. The license agreement provides for both exclusive and non-exclusive product categories. Additional details were disclosed in Biophan's recent 10-Q filing. "These initial funds received through our agreements with Boston Scientific will enable us to substantially accelerate our research and development to continue our business strategy to develop vital new products and solutions," said Biophan CEO Michael Weiner. "Boston Scientific was the first major manufacturer of advanced biomedical devices to show serious interest in our next-generation technology solutions, which have applications across several of Boston Scientific product lines. We are particularly excited and gratified to see Biophan's solutions validated, and look forward to their implementation by one of the world's most innovative medical device manufacturers." Under the licensing agreement, Boston Scientific is obligated to make milestone payments upon the launch of commercial products that utilize the licensed technologies, in addition to annual license maintenance fees and specified royalties on sales of products that employ Biophan-licensed technologies.
