As agreed at the time of the Eupharmed acquisition in December 2013, Nicox will make an additional earn-out payment to Fin Posillipo SPA, Eupharmed's former shareholder, linked to the extension of the distribution agreement. The earn-out payment will be made in the form of 821,996 newly issued Nicox shares, which will be subject to certain lock-up provisions.

About Cationorm ®

Cationorm ® is an innovative emulsion to treat dry eye symptoms (classed as a medical device) with the Novasorb ® technology. It is a cationic oil-in-water emulsion, which protects, moisturizes and lubricates the ocular surface to ensure a sustained relief and reduce the dry eyes symptoms such as stinging and sandy gritty. Cationorm ® contains small positively charged droplets with an oily core that are electrostatically attracted by the negatively charged ocular surface. It spreads in an optimal way on the ocular surface directly after application and supports all three layers of the tear film due to its unique composition.
