Oslo, Norway, 22 May, 2015:Photocure ASA (OSE: PHO), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on photodynamic technologies in dermatology and cancer, announces today the appointment of Juno Pharmaceuticals as their exclusive distributor for the registration and commercialization of Hexvix in Australia and New Zealand. Hexvix is Photocure's flagship product to aid in the diagnosis and management of bladder cancer.

Under the terms of the agreement, Photocure will receive €500,000 in milestone payments for the rights to Hexvix in the territory, of which Photocure has received €250,000.

Juno, who will fund all costs to secure regulatory approval, will begin the filing process immediately. During the review process, Juno Pharmaceuticals will initiate the preparations for the launch of Hexvix in Australia and New Zealand. The market potential in the territory is estimated to be similar to the potential in the Nordics, where Photocure commercializes Hexvix with its own sales team.
