Winsford, UK, 26 October 2017: Advanced Medical Solutions Group plc (AIM: AMS.L), the surgical and advanced wound care specialist company, and Organogenesis Inc., a commercial leader in regenerative medicine focused on advanced wound care and surgical biologics, today announced the two companies have entered into an out-licensing agreement on a U.S. patent ('Patent') for a collagen-based wound dressing containing Polyhexamethylene Biguanide ('PHMB') ('Licensed Product').

Under the terms of the agreement, Organogenesis has been granted an exclusive license in the United States to the Patent. In exchange for this, AMS will receive a minimum payment of $2.5 million, which will be recognised in 2017, and a minimum royalty revenue of $1 million for each of the financial years ending 31 December 2018 and 2019, as part of an ongoing royalty that will be payable to AMS on the net sales of the Licensed Product for the life of the Patent. The Patent is due to expire in October 2026.

Chris Meredith, Chief Executive Officer of Advanced Medical Solutions, said: 'We are delighted to sign this agreement with Organogenesis, a commercial leader in regenerative medicine, focused in the areas of bio-active wound healing and soft tissue regeneration. The Group's ability to out-license our patent technologies is another endorsement of the quality of our innovation and we are confident that our partner will be able to use the AMS patent in order to help patients across the US.'

Gary S. Gillheeney, Sr., President and CEO of Organogenesis Inc., said: 'We are very pleased to secure an exclusive license to this patent in the United States. This is an important agreement for Organogenesis that underscores our commitment to offering a comprehensive portfolio of products that addresses patient needs across the continuum of care.'

PHMB is an antimicrobial which is effective against several bacteria including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). AMS's PHMB foam was approved for marketing in Europe in 2016 and subsequently this year in the US.
